Here's how one month went for me...
Day -1, fly out to IAD then sit around for the 950pm, get in at 11:30, sleep in the "pilot lounge" upstairs using the office chairs as a bed (Or the futon.) 4:30 showtime for the ATL overnight 2 day...wonderful 7:59 day without showering the morning of.
Day two get in at 11:30pm, go upstairs and repeat Sunday night, wake up at 5:00am to jumpseat on the flight out to IAD, get home at around noon. Cry.
Those two months took a couple years off my life.
(Wasn't supposed to live past 25 anyway, right Kanye?)
