388JR Is Sold
As with all good things the fun must come to an end. The past year of my life has been a blast flying for Dale Jr's company JRMotorsports on the pit crew aircraft 388JR. After all i have been through the initial 3.5 week school on the E120 Brasilia and a whole season that was tough but i made it work. I can never have any regrets for working there but it is tough to anounce that JRM Air is selling the aircraft. Coincidently that puts me on the street looking for another flying job. A few leads in the right direction have landed me another job possibility in NASCAR and it is going to be on a jet but that it all i can say at this point. Atlanta is going to be my first trip with them which serves as a trial run. In the mean time The artist formerly known as Fatman (Ed) has kindly given up some instructing business in Lexington for me . EXX is a great place to train pilots and i enjoy the company over there. As for the rest of my free time it is either spent working on this lake house of flying contract for some other corporations. My only hope is that i can hang in there flying contract long enough to get a full time gig. The search continues for stability in aviation and right now it would appear that there is not much present. Simple fact of the matter is that airplanes are a comodity and they are always going to be the first thing to go when times get tough on a company. Furthermore until they begin to sell personal earth orbit space craft then airplanes are still going to be the most expensive pieces of equipment on the planet to operate and pilot's jobs will be volatile. I suppose for now i will press on,keep networking this place, and bust my hump to make ends meet. That is the key to the kingdom. To everybody interested in hearing me vent then thanks for reading. I sure do feel better. Blue skies.
