Anytime you want some time off, just let me know and I'll use your badge and take the flight for you. I have a private pilot's license.

(please leave manual on the seat though)

Pro: We finally got Spirit in the Bay Area.
Con: They fly out of Oakland. . . at hours no human should be in Oakland.

Serious congratulations. I am an avid airplane fanatic, been involved in flight sims since the beginning of time. If I could redo my career if I had the choice to, that'd be the first choice.

IF you ever fly out to Chicago, I'll buy you a round or two on me.

Just finished up training , the airplane is a blast it has a "side stick" (think joystick). instead of a tradition yoke. Had my first flight the day before yesterday, Ft Lauderdale to Bogota Colombia , tons of Hotties. Here is a pic of me at 38,000 ft, it was the FAs first flight as well

Given the departure and arrival locations, how you managed to fly sidestick and not get yoked with a joystick is beyond me.
