Still on the Job, but Making Only Half as Much

MECHANICSVILLE, Va. — The dark blue captain’s hat, with its golden oak-leaf clusters, sits atop a bookcase in Bryan Lawlor’s home, out of reach of the children. The uniform their father wears still displays the four stripes of a commercial airline captain, but the hat stays home. The rules forbid that extra display of authority, now that Mr. Lawlor has been downgraded to first officer.

Must have been a slow news day

Slow perhaps but it is still very good to see the state of aviation being pushed into the public eye. If anything but to give us a little sympathy while sitting in the airplane waiting for departure.

Got to respect someone willing to share their lives like that with the media. I thought it was pretty good.

Wow Bryan some very personal info revealed in that article. Tastefully done though I wouldn't have felt comfortable with the financial details of my life revealed. All I can say thanks for sharing, I hope this turns around SOON!
