CONGRATULATIONS BROTHER!! The interview is basically a formality. Unless you do something really stupid, (which you won't!) you're in! I won't be a full time instructor for this class, that creates too many problems at the airport, but I'm sure I'll teach a subject or two. Still waiting and hoping to get promoted, but I'll be surprised if that happens before early next year.

Stay safe and keep in touch!
