My typical day consists of flipping through the DirectTV channels until I find an episode of Family Guy, aimlessly wandering the internet, and occasionally venturing into the kitchen for a bite to eat. Eventually the phone will ring and I will get called into work. I'll report to the crew lounge for my assignment, go to the gate, and find that the flight has been canceled. Typically at this point I'll be assigned 3 hours of "airport appreciation time" (ready reserve), after which I return to the crash pad.

Those in the know have already figured out I'm an FO on reserve in Chicago.

That being said, Skywest has some terrific people and I'm happy to be here. Can't wait to hold a line though....
