Ahoy from another wayward sailor

Thanks Friendly! I always enjoyed my interaction with pilots. With rare exception (as with controllers, too), they are truly professional and a pleasure to work with. At SFO the nature of the operation demands attention and prompt action. Teamwork defined. By the way, I spent over a decade at the SFO MOC as a maintenance inspector. I'm sure you flew many aircraft that I had inspected during their maintenance checks (I'm assuming UAL because of your user name).

Yes, I've been at United for twenty years (without a major system malfunction so thanks) and currently a Guppy Capt based at Dulles. Not much room for error at SFO with the closely spaced 28's and intersection operations but I continue to enjoy it like it was the first time I landed there. I'm still looking for my first landing on the 1's.
