I’m rated on the A320, TT 15000, PIC 5000 TRI & TRE.
I appreciate you're comment’s
The 747 is attractive... then the gear comes up. You look down at the FMC and realize you have 15 hours to go, you then take a look at your PCD, crap a schedule change during taxi out. After my 15 hour flight, I’ve got min rest of 10 hour, then a 15 hour flight back to CVG, wait- then another 10 min rest, to fly another 15 hours back to Korea... then it hits you- I’ve got 17 days of this, oh gosh- I hope they don’t extend me into my X days, that will be a 21 day trip... when will
I sleep, when will I eat... a few weeks later you’re still working, then you get a $1700 paycheck for all your hard work-
Then it really sets in- I’ve moved millions of dollars of freight, flying 100m dollar airplane, and they gave me $1700 bucks.
You’re welcome to come see for yourself - but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
