KEEP VOTING FOR Angelina Jolie if you are still interested!

Cook,

There you are. :) I didn’t know if I’d see you before lunch, so I left you a message on the joke thread. Let me know, ok?
I’m just achy and feel like jello, but I’ll be fine. It’s just going around.
I’m not complaining either. :D

Excellent response. I just love it when a fan can put across an intelligent argument without lowering themselves to the haters level.

From Lee Maisey

I have sat down a few times trying to write this story but I couldn’t think of a title or direction. Was it to be ‘Life after Qantas NZ’, or ‘Do Babies and Flying Mix?’, or maybe ‘Having your cake and eating it too’. So I’ll just start at the beginning - a very brief story of my last year and a half…

August 2000 was the beginning. I had just started with (the then) Ansett NZ flying the Dash 8 and found out John and I were expecting our first baby. That was interesting times. 3 weeks of ground courses, 14 days in Sydney in the simulator (to make matters worse, my sim times were from 11pm till 3am - meaning getting back to the hotel at 4.30 in the morning). Not that flash when I was 11 weeks pregnant and sick! Fortunately when I returned from the sim and starting flying the real thing, my sickness started to subside.

As Qantas’ first ever pregnant pilot (believe it or not, even Qantas Australia has never had a pregnant pilot), I had to sort out myself what I needed in regards to uniform. They first offered me the flight attendants preggy dress! (The Dash has a 5 point harness and control column that comes up from the floor). I flew until I was 25 weeks pregnant and definitely showing. Then it was home to rest and have a baby. I got VERY large in the tummy department and very bored (being at home for 15 weeks with no baby and no work). Life was very blissful - until it happened… Not the baby - but Qantas NZ went under. John and I found ourselves unemployed bums!

6 days later Max decided today was the day (actually the doctors decided), and he was born with help from an induction then unplanned Caesar. I was very disappointed not to deliver naturally, but soon got over that with a bonny big boy weighing in at 9lb 4oz.

When Max was a week old, John had an interview with Air Nelson, and four weeks later found himself in Nelson on a Saab ground course. We sold our house in Wellington and moved to Nelson.

Max was about 7 months old when I decided I was almost ready to go back flying. I scored myself a permenant part-time job with Origin Pacific. I am now a Captain on the Jetstream 31 two or three days a week. Which is just fantastic. John has jumped ship, and is now a Jetstream 41 Captain with Origin. We have brought a lovely house in Nelson, and are very happy in the sunniest part in NZ.

Through all this chaos, I have found what really matters in life. I thought we had it made with Qantas, and was very disappointed when it collapsed. But our lives are better than ever. I now have the best of both worlds. Flying with great people, in a cool little aeroplane, all around the country, at home every night AND I spend lots of quality time with John and Max. I believe I have my cake and am enjoying eating it! In answer to my first question ‘babies and flying do mix very well’.

Being successful is not measured on the size of aeroplane you fly. It’s about balance, quality of life, and enjoying what you do. So whether you are circuit training in your Tomahawk or cruising across the Pacific at Mach .85 in your Jumbo make sure you enjoy it. Then, go home and hug your family.

Keep smiling, Lee

#244: black, your parent took your life in their hands every time they took you in their car. Heard of accidents on the road? Same principle.

#380: Maureen, that was a sweet article. Some people enjoy flying, some enjoy deep sea diving. Whatever it is that they feel still capable of doing whilst carrying a child without endangering it, they should do. Life is short. A happy mom means a happy baby.

estelle @ 03/12/2008 at 3:28 pm Maureen- thanks for the article. So sweet and lovely. Now we are back in time to the flying or not flying gate?….hahahahaha.

Can we go back to the she’s not pregnant gate or she’s wearing a pillow under that dress gate?….I think it’s more fun.

***************************************************************
LOL. How about we shouldn’t have pregnant women in government…politics is dangerous. Or no women motorcyle drivers? It’s unseemly (not to me but my elderly neighbor thinks so). ‘Cause you know, women who do these things are simply reckless and selfish.LOL

Merhabalar Guli-

Nasilsin? Iyimisin? Umarim guzel kizin da iyidir.
Bizim buraya bahar gelmeye basladi. Agaclar cicek acmaya basladi. Plum and cherry galiba.
Yarin Ankara’ya biletimi alacagim. Nisan’in ortasini dusunuyorum.

Mystify- Merhabalar. Hangi sehirdesin? Hosgeldin!

As soon as I saw pictures of Angie looking over her plane, I knew the “Oh- no- pregnant- woman- flying- her- plane” gate was about to descent upon us. Whatever happened to women’s movement? Isn’t this the 21st century?

I lived in Texas for seventeen years. Texas has the most beautiful open skies, and Austin area is the most beautiful with its rolling hills. Great place to take up to the skies. Go Angie!

#366: goes to show you, they haven’t moved on. They’re still gawking while time flashed them by so they still think it’s the same pregnancy. Maybe they’d still be there rooted at the spot when the one after this comes next. Then they’ll wake up and wonder how come the JPs have six or seven children now when they only had the two before.

Maureen- LOL….oh, just wait, I’m sure the trolls will open those gates soon enough. Goodness, Angie can’t even far t without these trolls complaints….hahahahaha

I have been reading up on Atlas Shrugged and I see that both Brad and Angie are rumored to play the lead roles…I’m not gonna lie and say that I will read the book but I would love too…I know that someone stated the other day that he/she were reading the book and that’s why they haven’t posted as much. I wonder how it turns out and it sounds like they would be great in it…All I’ve read are the summaries and commentaries online…
