Sorry for the drift. But myself (and many others) are about working smarter not harder. Whenever I hear a guy in the crew talking about how much flying he's doing I wonder why he's trying to kill himself.
Don't know if it is necessarily drift - because I can understand wanting to get paid more for less work I guess. Since I don't get paid based on the amount I fly it is hard for me to understand. I talk a lot with our reserve guys and listen to them while they try to explain how they work the schedules to get paid more for flying less. I'm not there yet obviously so it is a hard concept for me to understand. I guess I still love the actual flying part right now. Even if taking that flight in the day means that I stay until later into the night to do the paperwork - I do it. I've taken this week off for the holidays and it is killing me looking out the window at all this beautiful weather we're having and not flying! I'm sure I'll get a lot smarter as I get closer and closer to that hopeful new career. Thanks for sharing.
