Guys are going to have to follow the airplanes offshore.

Does Emirates make you wear a hat?
Ha, yes, and even better, they make you wear your uniform to recurrent. No I am not kidding.

Not likely. Their pilots get paid what we do, but with no taxes. Their Capt's make about 11K a month plus free housing in the Kingdom and free healthcare. Most my friends that work their average about nine days off a month, they see every weird place on earth, and have an upgrade of about five years. Did I mention that most are trying to leave versus sign another five year contract.

Afternoon?

You know, once a guy runs out of Cream, Half and Half, and Milk there is not much left in here except for Vodka.

Too late Bar. I think you're on their "no-fly list".

At my seniority, I know I'm flying over the Holidays so I preemptively asked for a nice high time 4 Day that finished up on Christmas day and would just allow me to commute home and open my presents at night...and maybe enjoy a drink in front of the fire. And bless you PBS computer, you unstacked that very same trip on me.....but you weren't done by a long shot. No, you searched high and low to find that perfect low time 2 day trip to back up against the 4 day so I wouldn't have a 30 in 7 and thus allowing me to spend Christmas night in the Kew Garden's crash pad. Ah, six straight days of duty over the holidays and nothing puts you in a festive mood like eating takeout Chinese food in a highly Jewish Queens neighborhood and then sleeping in a bunk bed with 3 or 4 guys snoring nearby.

Oh, PBS bid computer, I bow down to your superior intelligence...well played sir, well played.
