I’m back home for a couple days. Didn’t make it to church this morning, though. Yesterday, things went about like they have been lately: not as planned. Instead of being home around 7 or 8, I didn’t get in ’til midnight (after 1:00 a.m. to the house). So I didn’t … Continue reading
In other news…. I’ve had regular bidlines every month that I’ve been able to bid so far. That’s June, July, and August (which I’m in the middle of now). So far, I’ve done two legs of flying as originally scheduled (on time, same cities, etc.). Tomorrow, I’m supposed to fly … Continue reading
I just received an operational bulletin from work that was a pleasure to read. Even more, it was about something the government did. How rare is that??? The 1st Class medical is required for those who are exercising the privileges of a Airline Transport Pilot certificate. That basically means anyone … Continue reading

I was supposed to go home yesterday (the 3rd), but there was apparently a sick call at work and they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse to take the trip. It was from Dover, DE to Leipzig. I wanted to make it home for fireworks (which it appears I … Continue reading
I thought it might be interesting to review the month’s flying from the standpoint of all the things that I’d call eventful. Eventful is the kind of day I prefer not to have when going flying. Boring and unmemorable is best. This month has been more eventful than boring. I’ve … Continue reading
When I upgraded to Captain at Comair, I had a hunch that my great life as a senior F/O would be ruined. Indeed, I was right. But all’s well that ends well, I wound up with this job and that’s good. What I didn’t expect was for the job itself … Continue reading
I never found places to play in Osan, Korea, or Okinawa, Japan. Maybe I didn’t try hard enough. Or maybe there wasn’t much going on. When I started doing a lot of Anchorage flying, I didn’t immediately go find places to play. But eventually I did and it became my … Continue reading
