The August 7, 1997, in Miami airport, a DC-8 cargo plane company Fine Air had come down after taking off due to errors in estimating the weight and balance of the aircraft. Four crew members died and one person on earth. What I never would have imagined that this accident is going to affect me in work.
wore to the end of 1999 and two years working in a company as assistant aviation mechanics. Our company was responsible for overhauling the engine cover of the DC-8 aircraft of the air cargo carrier Fine Air.

After the accident the company began to cut back and gradually were seen as laying off one every week. I wondered when it would be my turn and where to go look for work. Came in 2000 with the news that I was the next to be fired. Worried about my situation I had no choice but to seek a temporary job at an employment agency. In this agency could happily every day to find a different job. One day rose boxes in a warehouse, another day cleaning the floor in a hotel, another day was cleaning boats and the variety came a little relief to the economic uncertainty.
One day I had to go as an assistant in a store where processed wood and iron frames. I remember the boss told me to sweep out the entrance ramp. I heard the sound of a Falcon private jet approaching the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and gave me a few seconds of pleasure to follow the view and enjoy knowing that was a pilot and kept alive my hope of flying again. To my surprise turned to instead listen another Falcon jet approaching the airport. A few minutes later as I listen and I realized I was doing the same aircraft may a flight test or training ... "Training" ... That was what I wanted so badly at that time. I looked at the floor while sweeping and I said - "How wonderful it would return to aviation training ... back to being in a simulator ...- I went to see the same jet passed just above me and I looked up to heaven - God! Give me the chance again to start in an airline ... - I came back to infect the quantum field and the sky was already a miracle to me a few meters and seconds of that appeal only to the universe.
-! Hey girl! - I cried a black man who worked there and was responsible for making the welding of iron frames. -! Come and help me sustain these tubes! - I put the broom aside and follow his orders from him helped RIEF tubes while closing his mask to his face and told me -! Do not go to watch or go blind! - I was curious to watch but decided to take care of my eyes ... I think it was the voice of the universe telling me ... obey and do not look ... because I was witnessing what I define as a miracle. S interesting technique of soldering and I got to thinking that this worker should be your good bucks. I started chatting with this black man and asked him about his fee and actually knew very well earned. Then I asked about his studies and told me about the process to be technical college welding. On seeing the kind of questions did you told me - Hey, you look like a person who has studied something ... do not tell me you've lived alone for these jobs because they do not believe you. - I confess I started on my studies in aviation and my experience as a pilot in Colombia. The opening his eyes tells me -! And you make sweeping winery here! - And I said - Well, something I have to live while I'm studying. - The black man followed several tubes welded and after a while asked me - Hey, you that such people are trying to ... general customer. - I was surprised at the question and thought I just wanted to know how to treat people. What is that I never suspected in this remote warehouse and this black man was welding I hear the first question in my first interview in the arduous and wonderful road to an airline.
