The History of the Aircraft Wash Guys, Part Three
Arthur was one of the original Tidy Car Franchisees, his dad once owned a small airline in Los Angeles, which flew jets and later had one of the top performing Mail Boxes Etc. Lance often wondered who was worse the government terrorist regulator lawyers or the actual Osama Bin Laden and company. Then as we started get going the FTC hurt many of our franchisees by attacking Car Wash Guys and then the other terrorists of 9-11 just about put the death blow in General Aviation, but aviation people are tough as they come and today the market sector is rebounding.

Flying As A Hobby
You start out with trying to budget for the weekly flying lessons. Then you need (or want) the unnecessary (but fun) goodies that we all need to pursue our passion. Let's see, do we pay the mortgage this month, or get that (fill in the blank) that you just have to have. If your flying hobby is doing more harm than good, if it's dipping into the family budget and time allocation, more than you can or should be spending, it's time to reevaluate. But sometimes those seemingly low cost activities can add up.

Jet Lag - 5 In-flight Tips
The secret to combating jet lag, and arriving at your destination with little or no jet lag, lies in sound preparation well in advance of your date of travel. Although it can be tempting to stay in your seat throughout the flight, getting up from time to time and strolling around the cabin will refresh your body and promote both mental and physical activity. Some light exercise, particularly for your legs, will also help prevent the possibility of deep vein thrombosis - clots forming in the legs. As an alternative to sleep, or indeed in addition to sleeping, try listening to soft, soothing music in preference to watching the in-flight movies. This will not only help reduce the effects of jet lag, but will also help maintain a normal level of blood pressure and good circulation throughout a long flight.

Young Men Trying to Imitate the 9-11 Scenario, Part II
An issue I have currently with the newest pilots coming on board at airlines, who cannot really fly an airplane. This meant we would have more pilots for military, airlines and the like.

They are ground lovers. The counselor at this young man's school did not understand what was a matter with this kid.

Young Men Trying to Imitate the 9-11 Scenario, Part III
The real airline companies who care about their companies and are not looking only to manage stock, buy up weak competitors and consolidate, those airlines are giving customer service are doing fine. But I do point out here and forever that we are simultaneously rewarding those who act out and are not following the program. I am not saying that Teen Challenge, DARE or any of another dozen programs are not totally worthy efforts both in our time spent and the results yielded. Only different in that they try harder or dream more. But those who surpass the program we do not.

Jet Lag - 7 Steps To A Successful Trip
It's nice to be able to get dressed up and go out once you reach your destination but nobody is going to expect you to get dressed up to the nines while you're traveling. Choose comfortable and loose fitting clothes to travel in and tuck a pair of slippers into your carry-on luggage to wear on board the aircraft. Similarly, if you're traveling west, put your bedtime back by ten or fifteen minutes each day. So take advantage of this and don't hide yourself away indoors. Daylight sends powerful signals to your body clock and you'll find that it adjusts far more quickly if it is exposed to the normal cycle of daylight and darkness at your destination.
