Travel day

(Typing while on my flight to Tucson via Houston)

I'm on my way to Tucson where the weather is sunny and 29*C. I just hope it's not too hot, I'm not used to the warm weather anymore... It will be a quick trip, arrive at 6pm Tucson time (8pm Winnipeg time) and we leave tomorrow at 3:45 or so. Purpose of the trip - talk to Bombardier about some upcoming projects and how we can work together on projects next year.

From there I fly home to Winnipeg (yay!) for a weekend and then to Orlando for a business aircraft conference called NBAA.

I'm actually looking forward to the flights to and from these places, gives me a chance to relax and unwind a little bit. It's been a busy month so far.

Yesterday was quite busy - received some training from one of our electrical specialists on how to test aircraft systems for interference. He had me sitting in the co pilot seat and by the end of the test I was tuning radios and watching for any forms of interference. Pretty neat if you ask me.

From there, I had an inspection to do and afterwards left the office to make my way to a career fair downtown.

The career fair was quite interesting. According to Olivier (one of my colleagues here in Montreal) our booth was one of the busier ones. I claim it is because not many people know who we are or what we do. Other companies like Bell Helicopters and Pratt and Witney are pretty well known. We talked to lots of people ranging from new grads all the way to people with over ten years experience. It will be interesting to see if anyone is a good candidate for our open design positions.

Well, time to get back to my book and hopefully an afternoon nap (gotta love napping).
