Re:Quest Aircraft
My son-in-law works at Quest and has nothing but praise for them as employers and as good folks.
Assembling these amazing little planes is a very precise task, and errors of microns in some cases will force an entire component to be redone. But while he was making inevitable newbie mistakes there were never any recriminations, insults or threats, just someone jumping in and sharing their experience on how to do the job better.
Also terrific medical and GOOD money!
We need to pray fo the Bundy family.
We should also ask the lord for a little earthly justice through our court system, so that those who perpetrated these crimes against these people and all people of the U.S. are properly dealt with.
I beseech thee o’lord…… amen.
