It's not every day...

It's not every day that you get to fly on the corporate jet with the CEO of your employer, but Andy got to do just that. I actually laugh every time I think about it. A few weeks ago Andy mentioned that he should just hitch a ride with Jim Turley up to Utah. He knew Mr. Turley was going to be in Houston for an event on Thursday night and then would be flying up to Utah on Friday for a recruiting event at Sundance. Not thinking it was a reality, Andy and his fellow coworkers all booked flights...

Well, on Thursday he got an email saying Jim Turley was inviting the BYU guys to fly with him to Utah and that they would keep them posted. Well, finally on Friday morning (about 3 hours before his scheduled flight) he received an emailing confirming the plans. So, that afternoon I drove Andy to the little Sugar Land airport for his flight on the corporate jet. We even watched him fly over us as we hung out at a nearby park after dropping Andy off.

This wasn't the first time Andy's met Jim Turley, but it's not like Jim remembers him... :) Andy said he could definitely get used to flying on private jets - very nice, no security, and a lot faster. Plus the commute time to the Sugar Land airport is much better than going all the way up to Bush Intercontinental. Andy did have to fly home on a domestic flight Monday night. I guess Mr. Turley wasn't sticking around for the interviews on Monday and had better things to do than get a bunch of guys back to Houston. This was definitely a unique experience for Andy. And who knows, maybe one day Andy will have a corporate jet at his disposal. You never know what life is going to bring...
