@comebackdaddy is a entertaining read - she's the wife of a UAL pilot, shows the other side. She's got a blog too that's not bad.

@renewedPilot is a UAL pilot who's been through the double-furlough there, he's entertaining. Has a blog too.
Perfect. Thanks!

I want you to time the APU start so that it becomes available just as we stop at the gate and then immediately shut it down as soon as we get external power. And note I said external power, not air, power.

Hey! I've flown with "that guy" too. The same guy who likes the 2nd engine to be running for exactly 121 seconds when you are cleared for t/off.
