I have been laid off from USAJ since Oct 30th, and was actually starting to miss the ol job. Thanks for the reminder that it was hell being paged for a trip like that at 10PM.

What did you have to take to Fort Mac and why was your range so poor? That is quite a few legs especially considering they are all in the same direction.

My record in many categories was 3 trips, 7 legs, 6 border crossings and 2 diversions in one day. KYIP-KFNT-CYOO-KFNT-CYOO-KMBS-KFNT-CYYZ-KYIP. The weather was bad, but the paperwork was brutal.

100+ knot head winds, icey runways & customs BS. two tool boxes for some guys that work up there.

what a terrible day.
 
Hellish headwinds the last few days. I was doing 540 kts in the dirty bird coming back from Cali last night. But on the way there the day before I was only doing 280...
 
I would gladly have that pager back, as long as it came with the paycheck and more than 3 days off in a row.
 
I still cringe when I hear a Nextel go off!!! Do sometimes miss the good ole days though... then I wake up.
 
A couple of rotations ago the guy in the room next to me at a courtyard had a nextel that went off all night. I literally had nightmares, and at one point had jumped up and was about to turn on the shower, then I realized I don't work at Cherry anymore.
That was the worst night of sleep i have had since I left Cherry.

Some form of freight dog PTSS, or something...
 
Has anyone noticed the spike over the past two weeks?

No! Nothing yet this week, I have 10 more days of sitting until I can stop worrying about phantom pages. I sure liked it when it was busier, beeping noises didn't bother me as much.
