when I flew the 727 ,for a soon to be defunct non-sched, the variety of the flying, everything from sports teams, Marines, to convicts ensured never a dull moment. One days mission would take us to Venezuela, the next to LAX, throw the classic 727 on top of that,it was great,great fun while it lasted.

I was not happy bouncing between the same two cities 8 or 9 times a day. The whole process lacked the creative outlet that other forms of flying offered.

In time it all began to blur into endless strings of three and four day trips. Same hotels. Same approaches. ILS to ILS. Like the movie Groundhogs Day. You even wear the same clothes every day.

Some people like that kind of programed and scripted life and I would have continued to do it to, but to be bored and poor is too much to ask. Oh yea,, and I also got laid off.

Or as they say, "hours of boredom followed by sheer moments of terror...":eek:

You must be that guy from Office Space...:D

Quote: "So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

P.S. "We need to talk about your TPS reports."

It's all perception. What you say is rote and rehearsed is just good standardization training. I don't know about 121 scheduled domestic but in the non scheduled international world, the variety of destinations definitely keeps things interesting and the standardization keeps us alive.


All of that aside, IF I were to get bored, I would rather get bored in a cockpit than get bored in a cubicle any day. Enough said.
