harrys,
Judging by your sig pic you may not find my story as funny as I do. Also, I don't want to highjack your thread but hear me out.
I go to my 5 yr high school class reunion. I talk to an old friend that frankly just hadn't grown up yet! Still partying on illegal stuff. He said he was moving to Alaska in a couple weeks. When I asked why he said he answered some ad in a magazine about becoming a brush pilot and was going to try it out. He also said marijuana grows like weeds in Alaska, nuff said.
Fast forward to our 25 yr class reunion. My friend shows up looking clean cut, married with multiple kids. Long story short, he was a brush pilot for 3 years. Flew hundreds of hours in small planes on floats. One of his fly in clients owned a shipping business and hired him to fly a twin engine prop job. He flew cargo around for another 5 years. Keep in mind my friend had "zero" flight school/training. After the cargo pilot job he became............................................ .....a pilot for Southwest Airlines. He loves his job but said to pass the drug tests he had to make a major life style change. To this day I am scared to death to fly Southwest
Morral of the story is anything is possible. Totally true story.
