I’m just a pawn. My company just announced new service out of JFK/LGA which likely means less service out of DFW….maybe ORD…probably DFW. This could once again mean me up for losing my seat….maybe once again….commuting. On the plus side, we will now have many more options to get to and from New York. Hmmm…even [...]
For the first time since February 09 I have a month of getting up early like a normal person. For April I have the 6AM-2PM shift for airport standby. I hate this shift as I have to leave the house at 5:20AM for a 10 mile drive to work. I get to the employee lot [...]
As of last Friday we were married 5 years. Wow. Flight out was fine. We took the first flight out which meant a 6:45AM departure. Very open flight, we got a row to ourselves! I rented a “mid-size” car from Alamo for $60 all in. Once at the facility I noticed a severe lack of [...]

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.
