Hey ya'll,
Agreed. Flight deck forward I'm pretty happy but getting to that spot can be a real grind. Today is a case in point. Super early report and didn't have my act together yesterday evening, so it's late.
See you out there, day 2 of 4.

Todays cartoon is a great case why our profession is the way is bc of unions and why we need them. Someone is always willing to do it for cheaper or even free bc it’s “fun”. Looks at most of the rest of the world. Pilots work a lot more and make a whole lot less.

Noisecanceller,
Crazy dynamics at play with how the career ebbs and flows.


June schedule is different, hence why I'm a tick late today folks. Day 2 of 4. Girls off for summer break so I can have trips touch weekends which normally is heretical in our home.
This one is definitely inside baseball for our tribe, but it's one that's been needing to be done for a long time. So here it is.
Cheers,

There are definitely controllers like that, but now having to call for a clearance is so rare I sometimes feel like I’ve forgotten how.

tnkrdrvr,
Been flying South of the boarder and some of them don't have CPDLC, so like this morning in MMGL, I had to make the old-fashioned call, on Tower freq no less!

And It's Monday again...
