It's pretty much been what I thought it would be. Then again, I've worked in the industry in other capacities for quite a long time before I started flying them. Airport reserve sucks when there's nothing to do. I'd rather be flying.

I've already had the "Are you old enough to fly?" question posed. The other thing I've learned, the stripes on my shoulder automatically mean I know where every bathroom, Starbucks, and gate at every airport in the U.S. is.
