Before you and the rest of the ladies continue gossiping let me inject some knowledge into this PTA meeting. A lot of MAG pilots liked the standup lines. Why you ask? Some people don’t live in base (we call these pilots commuters). Standup lines usually commence in the late evening and conclude in the early morning, making it very easy for the “commuter” to get to and from his domicile (his place of work) on the same day.

More specifically the Canada trips (that’s the country to our north) depart around 9 in the evening and return around 8 in the morning, crediting (that means how much you get paid) slightly over 7 hours. This means the pilot (the person flying) basically gets the entire two days off.
