AIC

a busy two weeks, went on course on wed - fri (8-10 nov). airline industry course, the title speaks for itself. enjoyed it tremendously, it's always nice to meet diff ppl working in the same big organisation to learn abt the grass on the other side. our group had a lady from Sydney office, she's a cool character, her family hailed all the way from croatia but she's been living in Sydney for a v long time. we also had ppl from the taipei and san fransciso office. not to mention pilots and the Divisional Vice President was in our team too. but he was pretty nice.

so yes, the course is fun but shiong also, cos of the management game we had to "play". basically we were gonna start a new airline with USD50 mil to fly routes w/i SEA. and yah all in the span of 2 afternoons. we ended up staying till 9pm to rush it out. but it was super fun and an "always amazing" experience. and yeah, just in case u were wondering, if you really had USD50 mil, pls invest in something else. an airline is too much work for too little money in my opinion.

and yeah, we got to drink officially on the job! the beer was brought in to "lighten things up" during the session with senior management... and on the last day one of the pilots bought beer for some of us (i was hanging arnd waiting for tj to come pick me up) so it was fun chatting w pilots, they really are an interesting bunch, and friendly too. so everything ended on a nice note...
