17 is the pilot who answered the questions in this post. Gosh, he sounds cute! He lives all the way up in Deerfield Beach, though, which is practically in Boca. Also not a Spanish speaker. Oh well. We had a fun conversation. He is a middle child. Grew up in Michigan.
You know, he may drink a lot. He said right now he's only flying about 35 hours a month because of the economy - he flies for a private charter company. He said he makes enough to get by for now while the economy is bad, although he made a lot more before. Has always wanted to be a pilot, so I don't think he'll change careers. Anyway, it sounds like each time he goes to a town over night, he heads to a bar he knows to hang out.
If I were living that kind of life, I would probably get lonely staying in my hotel room alone every night. So maybe that's not so crazy? Especially since he's on call and doesn't generally know more than a day or two in advance about his scheduled flights, and he can end up staying in a town for days based on what the client wants. I dunno. Just verbalizing it so I'm not keeping to myself, which usually leads to trouble!

Why does he need to speak spanish?
Join the mile high club already, woman! ;)
Hee hee. He doesn't *need* to speak Spanish, but people that don't speak Spanish and don't like Miami probably will never learn Spanish and never like Miami. Which is problematic, since I don't like Broward.
His answers to your 5 questions were much better than the other posted answers. So clean up the feet and head up to Boca (it's not like you're going all the way to West Palm).
LOL. I'm intrigued that you think his answers are better.
