If you can find a good reason to smile these days, go for it.

Actually all kidding aside they may not want you to.

Not allowed to smile. You are supposed to pose the same as for a passport photo.

I got mine in two weeks...Pacific Region. Now I'm going to carry this sorry-assed excuse for a licence until it falls apart just to see how long it will take.

I keep my licenses in my wallet tucked in a slot behind my credit cards, every six months I know where to find that piece of paper the doctor has to sign for my medical, otherwise I never have to get it out of my wallet.

Can I tuck the new one into my wallet?

The most difficult thing about flying is knowing when to say no.

After over a half a century of flying I can not remember even one trip that I refused to do that resulted in someone getting killed because of my decision not to fly.

Applied just before Christmas; got it mid Feb. Now for the best part; carried the paper one for 35 years, lost the new one in a week. #*##!!!

Guess we'll see if $35 will get you a replacement.

I finally got my booklet the other day. There is a page entitled "Competency Record" For me it's page 13. Is this where you list a PPC? Does this mean you no longer have to carry the PPC card with you?

Thanks.
