The divorced guy who picked it up had over 120hr. for the month...
Geez, I wonder why he's divorced?

I'm sure his ex-wife enjoyed her pay raise.
Oh, and I was out racing my catamaran when I could have been flying a 2 day worth 10:30, so that hobby cost me about $2,300 that weekend.
Life is about living...right?
If you want to hardly work just be senior on reserve on the DC9 and bid all weekends and holidays off! Its hard to get a trip even with a yellow slip in.
