Hi Jetwrecker. Welcome from Philadelphia.

Since I've had various inquiries about my username, I will explain. In 1977 I applied for a job with the FAA as an air traffic controller in Islip Long Island NY. The school was in Oklahoma City. I moved to OKC in June. The school consisted of 3 parts. The first was a regular classroom with exams. I aced that part. The second was a hands on lab. You had to be able to direct air traffic without radar. I still think its impossible, but about 1/2 the class passed it. I failed miserably. The last part was a comprehensive final exam that was written. I aced it. But you needed to pass all 3 parts. So I moved back to NJ and after talking to my wife. I went back to college and got a degree in accounting. I have been a CPA for 36 year. I told this story to a friend years ago and he said, "You probably would have crashed every jet in the sky." Hence the name jetwrecker. By the way, I went to college in Louisiana where I learned to love Cajun food and good barbeque.
