    Scott Burns: The Critical 50’s

    Thinking out loud about a possible job move

    Didn't get past Option 2 of your post Ceberon. Take the low commute, low stress, more time off option. The monies lost will be gianed by less medical issues due to stress and the like. Living to with the only reward is hours 8 sleep isn't worth it. Just my opinion

    Another one "gets it"

    Lets see, 2 chronograph clocks on the forwad dash. 2 set up in the navigation comp. 1 in the air ground link, 1 on the First officers wrist, and a boatload in the back of the airplane if desperate.
