Oh no less flying for me
« on: May 19, 2011, 02:40:37 pm »
well I have finally gone and got a job after having been studying for the past 2 years.
Yes this means that I will not be flying as often as I have been and therefore will not be climbing the promotion ladder as quick. However I plan to gain my 5000 hours before i start my new employment on the 7th june.

Yes my new employment is bus driving and no i wont be driving an Airbus as some seem to think. However I will also not have any problem landing the bus at the busstop without ILS as all our buses come with GPS.

I look forward to continuing my flying as much as possible, just not quite as often.
So for all those pilots I have passed on the promotion ladder all I can say is now is your chance to catch me up and pass me by.

I just want to say thanks to the likes of all those in the Christchurch hub " Tony, Ray David Phillip Ross Gazzer and kurt and any others from Chch that I have missed along with Ed for all the fun I have had over the last 12 months. The only others that join in with us here in Chch are Tony in london and steve in canada and boy to we all have some fun together.
Oh yes by the way I have been a member of Noble Air for exactly 12 months today. It has been a great trip so far and I hope to be flying in another 25 years with Noble Air the best Virtual Airline I have been a member of and yes i have been a member of others but this has been the best.

It is a pity that the other hubs do not join us on team-speak to join in the fun that we have down here in Christchurch.
It seems each month when the battle of the hubs is announced that the only hub that is out there flying is the Christchurch hub as we are nearly always at the top of the battle except for the odd time when London actually beat us by a couple of points however that is not very often.

 I say to Ed you are doing a fantastic job with the work that you put into this airline.
The pirep system would have to be the best that I have ever seen. You are certainly an asset to Noble Air.

Tony and Ray it is a pleasure flying with you both and Ray you and I have certainly had some great flights together and I hope that we will get a lot more flights in.

Well i had better get back to flying while I still have the time looks like I will be flying 24 hours a day from now until the 7 June  :)
One other thing is can someone create some more ribbons as I have now completed them all and would like some more challenges.

 ;) Don't forget to use the FMC when programming your GPS Geoff, overshoots of bus stops are not appreciated by most passengers  ::)

Well Done Geoff ol mate.

Sadly our flying times may be sort of restricted but it can be done still.

By the way does the GPS on the buses mean.  Go Passed Suckers   this is when it chucking it down with rain the dam bus drives passed you. LOL

as Mentioned earlier post Kiwi Reg Varney.... Late again.. I can see you now sitting on the roof of a double decker bus parked up at the local airport
watching the planes go in and out, eating your vegimite sarnies and pickled eggs.

LOL seriously though Good Luck and stay safe

Your ol London buddy Tony
