So if tomorrow you failed the ECG on your medical/lost one eye/had a small stroke while laughing too
hard at an avcanada post, what's would you do for work instead of fly?

I'm posting this here in hopes that bush/specialty types will have more interesting plan bs.

Porn star. Pack up the bags and off to the San Fernando valley in California. Heard they average a movie every 45 seconds. Not sure I could keep up with that, but it would be nice to try.

Always wanted to be a wartime photographer. Exposing the truth about war while bullets rush by me. Or I could do wedding photos...

I could see myself as a farmer or a mailman.

Farmers are always out standing in their fields.

Always envied them.

I wish!

Porn Star eh! but could you pass the physical??

CS, I'd look into being a fluffer instead. Really get to know the ins and outs.
Now that's applied physics!

Move to the Kootenays, and smuggle 'stuff' across the border by aeroplane. If you're going to fly illegally, then might as well go whole hog!

I think that there's a bit of room in my organisation for just this eventuality..

My plan would be to try and get healthy again. I knew of a one eyed airline Captain. I also knew a fellow that had a stroke and made it back to the left seat of the 767 and then retired off the 747-400.

I would also plan on instructing and maybe checking in simulators.

Anyway that is my Plan B hope I won't have to action it any time soon.

It is an eventuality for me. Damn spinal damage. Lets hope I can put it off for a few years (decade or two), but in the mean time, I'm putting together plans for the purchase of a lucrative franchise! Why make money for someone else?

Turn wrenches. I think doing an alternator change on the rear engine of the 337 on the Elk Valley ramp was just as fun as the formation flight back through the mountains with the guy who brought the parts.

Central Kootenays. Here in the East Kootenays, we only smuggle low priced consumer goods and fuel from Alberta.

Going to Nelson tomorrow, maybe I'll do a little ad hoc on the side.

East, Central, West, it's all Alberta east of the 2nd Narrows

And it's all Hong Kong west of it!

I've always wanted to be a lion tamer.
Also, I have this idea for a novel. An English private school for wizards.
I'm more likely to trailer my sail boat south and hit the Bahamas.

Ahh, no. The Lebanon and Iran are west of the Second Narrows, Italy is just east of it. San Fransisco is found south of the Lions Gate. Hong Kong is south of that, just to the west of India. Sheesh, don't you know your geography yet?

Booo.

Worst

Ever.

No. Worst ever:

Celine Dion walks into a bar. Bartender says, Why the long face?

I supose if something ever happened where I couldn't flip burgers anymore I would finish my CPL.

Gawd this thread makes me miss the MISC forum/Watercooler...

I figure I'll sell me some chocolates..

Move to Thailand, open a brothel and shag away all the profits!

I'd like to be a rich Gadabout. Hey, I'm working on it!

Sorry Rowdy, but that's an oxymoron. The company that sells the franchise makes the money. Ask M&M or other franchisees,

If bad livers don't blow up in space, I'm thinking astronaut. Just flying around in space is kinda cool. I would circle uranus looking for kling ons!

I'm half way to being an eccentric multi Billionare.
