Saturday, 11 July 2009- The Third Annual Pilot Appreciation Day

Saturday, 11 July 2009- The Third Annual Pilot Appreciation Day
I spent nearly the whole day wishing twitter and Facebook pilots a happy “Pilot Appreciation Day”. I was disappointed with my uninteractive delivery of the greetings which stemmed from my lack of being online continually. In addition to that, I was still mourning the death of a three year old dream that I recently buried six feet under. I received some positive feedback from some of the pilots, so the third annual Pilot Appreciation Day wasn’t a complete disaster.
