bud, you're scaring me. We're airline pilots. We don't fly missions, we fly passengers.
We need pairings that allow adequate sleep on a normal schedule. Not Ambien.
Brings back memories of some guys I've flown with, unfortunately they talked, acted and though they were still fighting a war...but that didn't showed until they were in the left seat, their way or no way. Scares me too.
Figure that!
On the other hand, some of the best CAs I've flown with are ex military pilots.
And then you have the ones that ACT like they were on the military, trying to fly a mission from FLL to TPA and they learned everything watching Chuck Norris and jimmy Stewart.
