Finally getting somewhere
A got called last night for his LOFT. FIN-A-LY! They called at 5pm thurs. and told him he needed to be at the schoolhouse in IAH, ready to go for a 2:30am sat session.
He’s nervous, I can tell, b/c things have turned into a crazy rush. Had to get the 3 hours worth of Jepp revisions done (thank goodness we had them on hand). Fly out at 11am Friday, shuttle to the training center to pick up uniform since he’s in IAH, clear up some issues with the training dept, find out what hotel he’s supposed to be at, shuttle back to the terminal, shuttle to the airport, sleep from 3-12 (or at least attempted to), wake up, study refresher, report to sim at 2am. Once he’s finished with the sim, he’ll be on his way home again. I’m sure it will go fine, especially with all the jumpseating he’s done recently.
Once this is done, it will just be the wait for IOE, hopefully not more than another 2 weeks.

I kept thinking I should start a pilots wife blog….you’ve done it for me! Kudos to you. We’ll be living in the south/based in the northern midwest if he passes his upgrade checkride this fall. I’ll be checking in to see how you’re hanging in there. We’ve got boys, ages 4 and 2, that he’ll be missing if he has to stay away for any length of time. We’ll be fine; the pilot is the one who it effects the most when he’s away!
Good luck and hang in there, we will be too,
