Unless DCA has changed in the last year it was like slavery.....U fly as much or little as they want u 2 and wear full uniform even in the Florida summers. Get in good with Nick in scheduling and Leslie in dispatch and life becomes bearable. Still have a lot of friends stuck there so PM me for additional details.
Yeah, but you were probably working your ass off. I'm earning less now than I was instructing but have flown a grand total of 40 minutes in the past three weeks. It's all relative, really. I'd rather sit on my ass and get paid than to be a slave to the instructing schedule I used to have. That wasn't fun at all.
