I get paid the same whether I'm flying or working the radio so it doesn't matter to me.

Yeah, but its easier to eat when you don't have to talk. I like to eat a lot.

At least one leg every trip until you make a name for yourself and everyone starts calling you "pancakes".

If I don't feel like flying for the rest of the trip (like when I have 4+ revisions to catch up on), I just overspeed the airplane for the entire leg and then pound the landing on. Usually, I don't have to fly anymore after that.
