	I had a very favorable interview today with a company called Avantair, <br /><a href="http://www.avantair.com/">http://www.avantair.com</a>,<br />and my hiring is pending on the outcome of my drug test, though I started the paperwork process after the interview. I was told it could be two weeks before I'm contacted, maybe sooner. I said no problem, I was hoping for a vacation between jobs anyway. It's for a position as mechanic and avionic technician on their Piaggio Avanti aircraft.<br /><br />Btw, I was officially let go of my old job last Thursday, along with another guy. Perfect timing.<br /><br />So I'm at a hotel in Lakeland for a week, and may be extending it a second week.<br /><br />I'm hoping to meet up with some of the gang while I'm down here. I got here about a day too late for Sun&Fun. And I hope to visit PA and see the new LSX.<br /><br />Assuming I get the job, I will be looking for a reasonable rent place to move to. Avantair is in Clearwater, but am thinking of the Lakeland area as long as drive is not too long. I could use some ideas or suggestions.<br /><br />cell phone is 207-299-7348.<br /><br />

	I think the drive through Lakeland and Tampa will be a bear at rush hour. North of Clearwater is New Port Richey or you might consider Zephyrhills which has a good airport and hangars.<br /><br />Did you study for the drug test?


	I agree Jon; the drive back was bad through the Tampa construction. I'll look at the other areas. This will be after working a night shift, too.<br /><br />I did take a couple of Ibuprofen this morning, never thinking of a drug test. I'm hoping they don't give a suspicious result.


	Mark - I drive from Odessa (8 miles North of TPA) through Clearwater, to Bay Pines. It takes an hour at 6am & 1.5 hours to get home at night. The Piaggios are a very busy air taxi service out of Clearwater IAP. Lots of very cheap housing very close to Clearwater if you don't mind sleeping armed. Actually, just write me back channel. I can even recommend an agent.

	Let's look at the equation Mark:<br /><br /> 1. Your job will be at an airport<br /> 2. You own a Stingrey<br /> 3. The weather is nearly always beautiful in Florida<br /> 4. You don't want to be bogged down with rush hour traffic.<br /><br />You see where this is going......Fly the Stingrey to work! I can just see that big Stingrey GRIN as you skim over the masses sitting in traffic.


	Except for getting home thru the thunderstorms... naw, just rent a hanger at the airport and live there.
