This place makes money despite itself. 5 and 20 are all that matter to me and I want those two days to be as amazing as possible for the rest of my career. The rest is noise.
This job is a lot of long, frustrating days and repetition. I try to manage that by giving the least amount of fu*ks as possible and taking as much time off as my sick bank and vacation weeks will allow to recharge my batteries. My sick bank will never get me a management job and I am perfectly ok with that.
I have been flying with a lot of new guys and their unbridled SkyWest optimism is actually like chicken soup for the grumpy captain soul. I get a laugh out of some of it, but it's a good balance to the negativity that literally lurks around every corner here.
Jesus. Why’d you have to upgrade because we’re totally on the same page as far as this job/company are concerned. Imagine how little fu*ks we could have given together? It would have been epic!
I get so seriously frustrated with the peeps I fly with when they get all worked up at the dysfunction of the operation or especially WX. Thanks to a lot of our work rules, CHAOS IS CASH BABY! Since they’re not going to fix the operation, we just have to ensure that their dysfunction equates to even more $ and/or time off for us.
Between Report Time and Release Time let’s ensure maximum $ signs, mmmmmmmkay?
