Southwest Airlines is a really good airline overall. Most of the employees are happy ( I talk to a few and they have the same issues that pilots at my airline have) and the flights are normally cheaper than other airlines. My brother in law might need to fly to Orlando for our vacation. I [...]
Apple has made me pissy for the first time. When I bought my Macbook Pro there was a setting on the toolbar that I could easily change the power settings. If I was on battery power I could select a setting for maximum battery life. If I wanted max performance I could select a setting [...]
Kelli flew on a plane I was flying (technically flying…it was the Captains leg…I did lower the gear and the flaps though!) for the first time on Sunday.

This blog follows my day to day life at a major United States regional airline. I typically post 10-20 blogs a month.

This has also been the most rewarding time of my life. I hope you enjoy my blogs.
