Well I won't say any more, but it will become painfully apparent.  I'm going to be a lesser opponent than the AI. :(

Yeah, I suck at poker...I mean, I don't even understand the rules.

What's that?  You want to play for money?  Well...okay.

Quick note for both games: I have postponed hosting for an additional 32 hrs. I have been asked to do an extra flight which would normally not fit in my roster. As a reward for helping out I get 3 additional days off to be spent later. ;)
So bon voyage again! Sorry!

Are you a pilot, Yskonym? My best friend is a captain for Kalitta.

Ok, back again. Safely landed. It was a long one though... :( To make matters worse, my wife works today so I had to get up for our son (4 months old!). I got home at 0300 and he wanted fooooood at 0700. I need some zzzzleep.
Oh yeah, the joys of being a modern dad and pilot. :D

Anyway, I'll be sending my turns once my head straightens out. No worries, I've got it under control! But it would have been nice to have an autopilot in Dom3. ;)

BTW Uber, I see Kalitta at Amsterdam Airport, Schiphol all the time. Do they only have 747's?
For those interested; I am flying now for about 8 years. Started my career on a Fokker 50 turboprop and am now flying the 737-700 and 800 in a very cool operation as we fly to holiday locations and therefore come to insanely cool fields to operate on;

La Palma

Samos, Greece

Skiathos, Greece (1650m rwy for a loaded 737!)

Inssbruck, Austria

just to name a few interesting ones.

cool job ysk - actually you maybe able to answer a question for me - is there a natural career progression through the size of the planes all the way up to the A380 or is it just a case you fly what your compnay has?

anyway - cool to see you back, cant wait for turns!

With Flag carriers (national airlines) there might be. KLM is our dutch flag carrier and I know that people do progress. You start as 2nd Officer on a 747 for example, then promote to 1st Officer on a smaller type (usually regional commuter) then either become 1st Officer back on the 747 or go for captain on the commuter.
It's also common to be captain on a commuter and then go back to being a 1st Officer on a big jet like a 777 or 747 before becoming captain again on that type.
In our company it's much different, because we only fly one type. So I sit in the right hand seat for quite a while before becoming captain on the same type.

hah thats great - i always thought the capt/pilot sat on the right, but then thats the way we drive in the UK - or does british airways have the capt on the right and all you euro types have it the wrong way round?

I'm not sure on the 747's. He used to fly Falcon 20's, but that may have been for his last employer. His first real flying job in the late 90's, after being a flight instructor anyway, was for a now defunct company flying DC-3's. The planes had actually taken part in D-Day!
