Hello Lima Charlie.
Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply to your post. I have been away from a computer since March 4th
. Phoenix - what can I say. I flew from Frankfurt to Kansas City, where my dad picked me up and drove me to Phoenix. The night before my campus visit, while at the hotel, someone smashed a window out of our car and stole my checkbook, airline ticket, cd player, camera, and diary. Fortunately, I always keep my passport in my pocket; so, getting back to Germany and my wife was not a problem. Anyway, I called Pan Am to cancel my 9 A.M. tour because I had to sort out the stolen checkbook and banking info. I finally arrived at Pan Am at 11 A.M. By that time the 'nickel tour' had become the 'penny tour'. I had a quick run through the campus followed by an intro flight. I must say that I do like the facilities and the training program. It's expensive, but I suppose a person gets what they pay for. Because we were stuck in Phoenix an extra day while waiting for the police, Pan Am put us up in the hotel an additional night
.
I will apply. The question is, when will I start? I still have 6 months left on my work contract here in Germany. I would like to start sooner than that, but I must first find out if I can terminate my contract . So, we're looking at an August start date at the earliest or an October start date at the latest.
First impression of Phoenix: SPRAWL!
