I have been able to just work my DOD job for the last 6 months and now it is time to do double time. I have so enjoyed being home and not having to travel so much. I am headed back into the cockpit this month. A lot has happened. When I took my break we were Northwest Airlines and now we are Delta Airlines. Delta merged with us last year and we are now the largest airline in the world. A lot of changes.
I had to go back through a small refresher training course in the simulator to make sure I remember were all the buttons are. I guess it is important (What ever). The simulators are very cool training tools. (That is the first picture). They sit about three stories above the ground and replicate every possible emergency including pumping smoke into the cockpit. I had to practice and test out on engine fires, failures and many other emergencies. It has the exact cockpit that we fly in including visuals that are very realistic. Kids if you remember you have been in them and flown the airplanes. Now that we are Delta we have new procedures that have to be trained.
I love flying but miss being home so much. I am so thankful that I was able to get the summer off and enjoy family. Now that I am back in the cockpit I will start showing you the World again as I see it.
