Lyrics:

Back in the High Life Again

It used to seem to me that my life ran off too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run, it's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in the bright part of town

I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched me once
Will smile and take me in

And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
I know I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

Girl, you used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance the mornin' sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop 'til we're done

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
Though we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
High life
In the high life again

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
Though we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
(Back in the high life)

Oh, we'll be back...

Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),

IMPORTANT MESSAGE PCN having technical difficulty with original Google Group

ALMOST CANCELLED – We are currently unable to mass email our group so you are not receiving notices from the PCN.

We have use some services from Google for years to help us with communication to our membership. We use Google Blogspots for FlightWest and for the PCN HighLife. We also you Google Groups for emailing notices to our membership quickly and relatively painlessly. Currently that service is down. Normal email servers are geared to prevent spammers and limit emails sent at a time to either 50 or 100. With Google Groups because all of you are within our group, Google allows a notice email to go to all 2700 of you instantly. That is a big benefit to Carol and I as we try to post notices of News, Deaths, or the HighLife. But last week Google cancelled us. They not only prevented us from using the email function they ERASED all of our previous notices as if we never existed. This was supposedly done because we did or said something wrong or contained within one of our death notices or HighLife notices something was included they did not like. Wow, such power by these social media giants which seems like a when they get it wrong people suffer. We think that they have got it all wrong and have appealed. But if they don’t reverse or I cannot fix the original PCN Google Group I will be forced to try and create another group called PCN II Google Group. If you receive a notice that you have been added to PCN II than you’ll know why, and it will be because we couldn’t get the original group back up and running.

Sorry about the inconvenience, but what it really means to you is that we can still publish the High Life, Death notices at Flight West, but we just cannot inform you easily of that fact.

So please Bookmark the following and check periodically until we can remedy our service of notification emails:

https://pcnflightwest.blogspot.com/

and

https://pcnhighlife.blogspot.com/

Thank you for your continued interest and connection with the retired Delta pilot community and with your patience as we iron out this technical glitch. And if you see us adding your email to a PCN II or III Google Group that would be us trying to recover our functions and ONLY because we could not FIX the original Group. Stay tuned.

Fall sports are the best. Some time in the woods, plus football, and of course the World Series. Philly is having a great year in both MLB and in the NFL. Not my teams but I always appreciate different cities see some success. Anyway, couple the pros with all that is happening in college and the Fall is certainly a great time of year for sport.

Crewmember Hotel List UPDATED 2021 - PCN, this list used to be easily available to us retirees as we had web access to the DAL FltOps section of DeltaNet. However, since 2018 that has changed. Through a little bit of luck this hotel list has been updated as of Nov 2021 and for any former crewmembers and retired DAL, the hotels listed “may” offer a discount for retired travelers. Please check it out in the Travel Section.

IMPORTANT SURVIVOR section repeated in INSURANCE section of High Life 340 and FINANCE section of 336.

New PCN subscriber Sign Up:

As you most of you know our PCN is a private subscribed to online community. We maintain a list of that virtually eliminates spammers or other online undesirables from joining with a simple sign up procedure, so the applicant can be screened. I am very happy with how this has worked as we can be assured that everyone on the 2670 member list is legit.

If you know of a pilot who wishes to join our community and receive our notices they can easily and painlessly become a subscriber for FREE by simply filling out the SIGN UP form. If a current member vouches for a friend and simply sends in their former Delta position and email, I have always considered this an appropriate vetting and added them directly to the list.

Thanks for helping the PCN remain the largest retired Delta pilot online community and for helping keep our mailing list made up of all legit subscribers.
