New Year, New Opportunity

January 16, 2011 Leave a comment

One of my unspoken resolutions this year is to write about more of my experiences; it’s why I started this blog in the first place.  This year will bring about a career change; from flight instructor to First Officer.  I’m looking forward to documenting my journey.  Step one has begun; my resume is out.  I’ve had the good fortune of meeting some great people and establishing lasting relationships over the past few years.  These friends and coworkers have become an invaluable network that I’ve been able to rely on for guidance.  I am often overwhelmed by others willingness to help.  I hope for the chance to pay it forward someday.

Now I wait.  Wait for what seems like an eternity for the phone to ring.  I know it will, I’ve seen two friends hired recently.  Both reported positive experiences.  I wonder what mine will be?  Time will tell and I’ll write about it here.  In the meantime, I continue to teach.  My opportunity to do what I never imagined just a few short years ago; to give someone the gift of flight.  This has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.  Part of me will miss it, but I can’t help hoping the next step comes soon.
