My worst trip
This was one trip that I had when I was a corporate puke.
DAL TEB DAL HOU DAL TEB DAL.
For those of you thats Dallas New York Dallas Houston Dallas New York then DAL.
Mind you this was 1 day trip.
I had to use 2 different F.O's for the trip.
I stayed the night in TEB and went home the next morning.
At least I got 4 hours of sleep.
Friggen worst day I have ever had.
Sure glad I made 30 grand a year for such dedication.

The worst pairing that I fly now is just about anything in Asia that starts at 2am body clock time and flys right up to 7:59 un-augmented, at night, and normally through thunderstorms.

CLOSE to New York though.That's like our company saying we fly to BOS, when we fly to PVD (and it's at least an hour drive).
Although we are going to the ACTUAL BOS in Aug.

All reasons I'm happy I dont fly a B1900 and I am not part 135. This has got to be the worst week I have ever seen. Atleast you had a lot of deadheading on the last day bacause I'm sure you were dead in the head by that time.
