PLEASE THANK YOUR CREW FOR MISSING TIME WITH THEIR LOVED ONES SO YOU CAN BE WITH YOURS ON THANKSGIVING!! One of the pilots may be my best friend who will be in the middle of a four day trip over the long weekend. He loves his job, but I know it's not easy for him to be away from family and friends on holidays...a quick "thanks" or a wave and a smile is always appreciated; but especially on Thanksgiving. ...

Hi Captain Ray - Great post. I still think of flying as a magical experience. I understand the concepts of flight but there's just something special about watching the moment a plane transforms from a ground machine to a flying machine. I work near LAX and spend many a lunch hour at the edge of the 24's...give a wave if you see a convertible PT Cruiser on final! Best of luck to your daughter as she continues her training. ...
