Pilot actually forced to sleep on plane or another media hit job? How is this FAR 117 compliant?

Imagine getting 15 min of fame because you posted on FB you had to divert and company had no hotels because they’re all booked and it was either shuteye in the plane or Uber for hours to who knows where. Oh wait…… I mean why is this even news?

It's not. It's a clear violation and she should have refused any work after landing..

Not so sure about that. Seems like attention is what this person seeks. I’m sure her employer and United weren’t as thrilled for the attention though.

“Qualified to fly over thirty types of aircraft, Taylor currently flies Bombardier CRJ aircraft for a regional carrier”

Haha. Sure.

I guess I’m qualified to fly a c150, c152, c172, c172rg, etc….

The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.
​​​​​​... What? ​​​​​​😂

Obviously this person thinks that this is some kind of deeply profound commentary on the human condition (probably because they are blinded by the fact that their head has disappeared completely up their own ____) but I must be missing whatever the hidden meaning is.

Takes some serious narcissism to quote yourself at all, let alone this pseudo-philosophical hogwash​​​​​

Yeah he/she/ze doesn’t hide what or for whom he/she/ze flies (sorry, I don’t know the preferred pronouns and don’t want to offend anyone). Was a CRJ FO “flying the aspen route structure” and now a 175 captain. Yeehaw.
