You are most welcome, Woody and Match.

Thank you all for flying so much. Without you I, and many others, could not enjoy the certain magic of working for an airline. Around me, there is a lot of guys and girls who really care. Accuracy and precision are absolute standards in this business and with the years it becomes a mentality, a way to be. So its no coincidence also, that guys like me end up buying the most adequate working tool for us: a Rolex. Way back in time, before working in this business, I was so scared of flying, now after having seen and learnt how the infrastructure around the aircraft works, like a human clockwork, now I enter as a pax on board any of the airlines we serve, with the biggest piece of mind. So the next time you board, remember there is fellow TRFllers on ground, watching over you as precise as our watches can be.

So, ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy many many more flights.

This watch is running -1.6 sec/day, I regulated it last 10 days ago, so that gives you a margin of exactly 16 seconds to reach the gate late without me taking notice, after that, I`m cruel like a samurai and close all doors, just according to my 16710, mercilessly on time.

So the next time, amigo, run, run, run...:big grin:


Sorry, I was kidding.

day date

How about in front of the plane. Taken at AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wi in 2008. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of my Bark Day/Date. I sold it about 2 years ago. You can just make it out in this picture.

Did you like Emirates? I am going to the F1 GP in Bahrain and booked the "suites" for my husband and me-- excited to fly them.
