I thought it was a well written article. Makes me wish we had days like that and crew meals on the maddog.

I have yet to read any flying articles or books about the career that didn't sound (to me) boring and read like "Bio of a Greyhound Bus Driver" type stuff. The only exception is Fate is the Hunter.

stories about your cockpit partners, gate issues, in flight meals ? really ?

Might as well title the book "Adventures at the Bus Terminal"

You have to take into account the audience he's writing to. I assume its not written for current airline guys but for the weekend warrior private pilot type. The majority of Flying readers probably are curious about that kind of stuff.

The 175's are gone to the Sky regional guys, Ironically A LOT of whom are retired mainline guys. Hilarious??

190's still on property. AC costs cant justify flying anything under about 100 seats.

And the commuting to a seedy motel crashpad, hot bunking it, to sit 20 days of reserve a month. To be called in to repo an airplane with more deferral stickers than one as fingers. Its a great job....
