Putting all emotions and hurt aside, how often are you really DHing twice for one leg? Every day? Every other day? I understand the frustration, I fly part 135 right now, but I do know that the majority of the time everything is fine. Once a month or every few weeks #@$%# happens and at times I feel like it's "ALL THE TIME", but realistically it's not. Originally Posted by Jecain7

Pilots all seem to be Type A and a bit gung-ho but often a little over-entitled and exaggerated. I did 8.5 years as an Infantryman with a few deployments in the US Army, I know what suck is..... Sitting in my 40ft gooseneck trailer, chilling on reserve, 15min away from the airport isn't sucking, in my opinion.
I have unpaid reserve here at my part 135, but I chill and relax and if I get called I go fly. If I don't then I've sat for 2 days straight unpaid and played the #@$%^ out of my PS4 or PC and had a good time.
On a more serious question though, how often are you getting converted to HOT reserve? I hear HOT is not used every time at PSA. I might have to take my laptop to the airport and play my movies or games there..... That might suck,
