Since I retired in 1986, I have been working as Pilot Training Instructor for Flying Tigers/FEDEX on the DC-8, B-727 and B-747. Went to Phoenix Az. to work at America West Airlines teaching the Airbus A-320 then move Charlotte NC to US Airways, to set up the training program for the new Airbus A-330 wide body twin.
