At Horizon we used to do Pullman, WA to Lewiston, ID. 22 miles straight line and usually planned under 10 minutes. I only got to fly it once, but it was pretty cool. Busy, though.

I did nothing but standups for almost a decade. Would fly 300 block and credit 1000 ☺️

At Eagle I felt like I flew 1000 and credited 300! And standups for a decade? Gross! I’d rather do DFW-SPS for a decade. Wait, I think I did.

There is a giant difference between good (low block/long rest) standups and bad ones.

PSG to WRG in a 737 is pretty amazing. 27nm. I only got to do it once but it was 30 minutes gate to gate.

The ones we had BOS-BGR were pretty great. Just under 8hrs rest but the hotel was attached to the terminal

I ferries a 737 sfo-sjc I think paperwork said 11 min enroute and we were at about an hr because of all the vectors.

Did 91k. Shortest revenue flight was TEB-MMU, 17NM. Taxi time in TEB was probably the same as the drive would have been. Did lots of repo flights between Metro airports like IAH-SGR, DAL-DFW, ORL-MCO, HPN-JFK, because rich people don't want to drive for an extra 5 minutes. Shortest one was LGA04-TEB24. Hobbs was WOW and didn't click over. Company added 0.2 for taxi time. Block 0.2, Flight 0.0.

Looong time ago sat on the JS on a RTM-AMS, 24NM straight out RW06, straight in RW06, repo flight on a 737, in the middle of the night. Captain didn't believe in 250 below 10, so got to over 300kts at 2000ft. Didn't take very long.
