I've been displaced 3 times already. it took me about two months to get it after IOE was done, and if you still want to fly down south we have trips that go that way. only one 4 day for march, the rest are 3 and 2 days with standups thrown in. small base so you get to know the crews really well, I enjoy that aspect a lot. I think i'm rambling now, I'm just happy crew support called and canceled our 5am show for tomorrow. wooo
I probably heard you on the radio today...the broken overcast throughout OR/WA/BC today was absolutely incredible. Breaking out for the visual into Vancouver was unreal! So where do the PDX trips take you?
