Hello from Atlanta

Hi guys. I feel extremely lucky to find myself in the unique situation of being a work-anywhere telecommuter and having ties to an airline. I'm on a "working vacation", visiting family, as I type this http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...>/rolleyes.gif . Unfortunately, not too many of my friends can muster up the free time AND the ability to affordably travel. I figure this is a great time to expand my circle of friends then. When I travel, I mostly like to make it active. My outdoor hobbies include kayaking, SCUBA diving, snow & water skiing, driving cars, motorcycles and bicycles way too fast, hiking and general exercise. I'm kind of a party guy, as I enjoy exploring the night life in new cities too. I've learned a lot, as I've been non-reving since 2005. Really happy to find this forum so I can share some of this good stuff and hopefully find a new buddy or two to roam the Earth with on a whim.

Welcome aboard Eric. I see you've found your way around the place http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...DIR#>/wink.gif See you on the board.

Hi there and welcome http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...#>/biggrin.gif

Haha sounds good... what sort of an industry is that?? http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e..._DIR#>/huh.gif

Thanks for the welcome. My ties to the airline come from my wife. My telecommuting comes from working as a network engineering consultant. Our worldwide sales team signs up clients, then they give the design work to my team. Since it&#39;s not practical or required for the designers to fly all over the place, we can do the work from a fixed location and discuss requirements via conference call and/or some sort of online collaboration tool (Webex, Netmeeting, Live Meeting, etc). She may be telecommuting soon too. Delta has started allowing some groups to do it. She&#39;s just waiting for it to roll around to a job she&#39;s interested in.

Interesting interesting. What does she do at an airline that would allow her to telecommute?

They are allowing certain groups of reservationists to work from home, Nick. It&#39;s oddly easier to do so as a part time employee than a full time one so far. Slowly but surely, we&#39;re hoping it will be her turn soon.

Interesting. I dare say I could do 90% of my work at home (res) but how would one&#39;s boss micromanage? http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...DIR#>/wink.gif
As for the load control and DG checks, well that might be a bit hard for now! My radio does still work at home though...
