The "followed by a deadhead" angle is another story. I hate to deadhead but I find it to be easier in uniform. Just so I can go down early and stick my bags in the overhead. (that's domestic. I actually enjoy international deadheads. In civvies. With a nice Courvoisier and some breadsticks
)
Thanks Check.
Yeah, I just got nailed by crew scheduling, unbelievable so. I bet they are still laughing. Since March 21st I've flown 90:28 so until April 18th at noon or so, I'm only good for 9:32. I'm on call thru the 18th, silly me, I thought (in my international category) I'd be sitting at home. DOH! I just got called for a 6 day trip that gets back about 0900 on the 18th. Scheduled block is 6:45. DH to NRT layover DH to SIN layover ferry flt SIN to NRT layover DH back to SEA....
The sad part is I thought I had worked my schedule to perfection this month. But for this trip I have.
Bring on the breadsticks and keep'em comin'!!!
