I would benefit from a "Like" button, because I could pretty much just endorse everything Timbo, Check, Scambo and others have been saying about flying as much as we do.
I would add that we should be able to fly like crazy, at times. We just should have a bow wave system to spread it around, so that those times are an exception, rather than a rule. It would enough prevent the woars that need to have their nose in the crack jar all the time from having enough critical mass as to create an ultra-lean, advancement-deprived airline.
I'm all for productivity. I just don't define it in terms of FAR's. I define it in terms of a sustainable number of hours where one can stay healthy, sane, and married.

Buzz, that's the beauty of it!
BUT...when you fly it, you have to wear your hat, and put the headset on over the top of that, and squeeze your throat when you talk, just to keep the vintage look alive!
