…that I ran across in my desk drawer:
Fresh out of the “corporate” job I had for all of five minutes, still in my “I went to RIDDLE! They should be lining up to hire me” days BEFORE I red-pilled and realized they weren’t and I had to get my CFI and start busting rocks:
My first business card issued by my flight school when I finally got a “legit” flight instructor job in 1995. Little did I know I’d run into Aaron Gould and be at Skyway a year later in 1996. The flight school is obviously defunct and no, that’s not my telephone number.
I still have COMAIL (Company Mail) that I never delivered at Skyway. I picked it up in Dayton, OH from our MEC chairman, was to deliver it when I decided to leave Skyway a little earlier than anticipated because I had a class date at SouthernJets and Skyway’s crew scheduling was trying to illegally assign me a trip, not because of seniority, but because he saw me walking down the hallway past his office in 1997. It was a photo of Astral Aviation d/b/a Skyway AIrline’s first 1900D after Midwest Express crap-canned Mesa after the Larry Risiley-era motor parts scandal:
Circa 1998. The Boeing 727 didn’t have an ACARS because it had a Flight Engineer aka Second Officer (me) that would gather ATIS, talk to maintenance, ATL Radio, control and monitor the “OUT/OFF/ON/IN” times and fuel:
Metal business card from a very highly esteemed member of our community at Jetcareers:
(I was too lazy to block out the contact information so pardon the weird fingers):
And this, @MikeD loves to send either pictures or some sort of memorabilia when your companies jets are getting parked, but we don’t kink-shame around here!
(thanks Mike!)
