Just order room service, more time for trolling other airline boards.

Unless you do that on your days off.

Nothing quite like sitting around a hotel room for 2 days straight for $2/hr... maybe you can pick the bed bugs out of the mattress and invent a new delicacy?

That must be way better than making 500k/yr to fly a 7-3 12-14 days per month.

BUT, your airplane is bigger than mine, I'll give you that much.

Pulleeez. No SWA pilot makes half a million by working 12-14 days a month.

Yeah, I’m sure he’s really envious of our route structure and layovers

I actually have never cracked that number yet myself. Upper 4's. I think the key is to get to the point where you can bid a bunch of sit on your thumbs time, then pick up...

I'm a few years away from being able to hang it up as far as my duties in the reserves goes, and I'll qualify for the retirement pay at 52, not 60. I really hope "it" is still hanging out there to scoop up when that time comes. For now though, I have 1800 people and spread across 4 states and 3 countries, comprised of 5 different types of manned aircraft and 1 drone type. It's a 2nd full time job.

The smartest earner pilot I've ever met is the wife of a great guy I flew with a couple of times out of MDW. She just never had any interest in leaving the regional she is with. 20 plus years, a billion dollar @ss and rack, even after 4 kids, and she barely keeps the minimal requirements on take off's and landings. Sure, she only makes 94k/yr, but she only gets aboard an aircraft maybe 10-12 times per year! We do damn near that every trip. She fracking slave drives her old man tough. She's the one living on the keyboard. It works for them!

Cool

I saw that the flight to HNL landed.
Any gouge if FAA was on board, and if we passed??
I’m “patiently” waiting to drive to work!

As the many company emails stated, yes FAA personnel were on board. Along with 7 pilots and I’m sure many mx folks as well. This is 1 of probably 6 proving runs. Along with these, we have some more table top exercises to complete and it should go pretty quickly assuming the govt doesn’t shut down again.
