Apparently I must know the right people. Today on the way back from ferrying an Aztec with a friend we stopped in Addison on the way back from Cincinnati for dinner with a few mutual friends. Wayne (someone who has been flying longer than my mom has been alive) picked us up from the airport. We went to the Saltgrass steakhouse and had a nice dinner, BS'ed for a little while, and then Wayne took us back to the airport. We said our goodbyes, shook hands, and then Wayne said "Dave, one last thing. I didn't want to tell you at dinner because I didn't want you to have an uncommanded trouser spasm, but I've got a gig for you flying right seat in a Citation. After a couple hundred hours right seat it will probably end up with you getting your type rating. I'll send you all of the reading material. You start in March."
I was speechless. Most likely I won't get paid (it's like an internship almost) but a Citation costs about $3k/hr to run, and turbine multi time in my logbook. It's most excellent.

What flavor Citation? And why won't you get paid?

That's awesome news David!

Because his friend knows that he would be too excited at the prospect to bother to ask for pay?

Man... I remember the first time I met you, you were just getting into the whole flying thing in real life... And here we are, how many years later, and every time I hear from you, I'm more and more jealous!
