Hello FTers. I have been a longtime lurker and finally decided to join to take part in the discussions.

I am a former airline industry employee, consultant, and GA pilot/CFI (I guess I am still technically a pilot, although I have not been current for several years).

For a few reasons, I currently do not fly at all at this point (as a passenger), which is ironic considering that I have always been pretty much a commercial aviation geek (I mean, uh, "enthusiast").

I still follow the industry closely, however, and hope I can contribute.

My username is a tribute to my fly-fishing hobby, in which I don't get to indulge nearly as much as I would like.
