| Hello! I’m an airline captain with Southwest Airlines and have been flying for them the past 21 years. Due to the Coronavirus, Southwest has asked employees to take personal leave if able...so I did. I look forward to the new adventure of becoming a sailor. :) I will be taking ASA courses 101, 103, and 104 in September...and, hopefully, will become a useful Crewmember for an ARC Atlantic crossing in November. Also, I was initially trained as an aircraft mechanic...so I may be useful with maintenance items. I look forward to any invites! Thanks! Blue skies, Ed Zawacki | |
