451 hours in the mighty BE400. At 4 bags/hour thats about 1700 bags and numerous stained shirts from backing into the left engine cowling.

38 approaches, none even close to a miss.

Seems like a million trips between TEB and South Florida.

Countless yummy ham and cheese crew lunches with pasta salad.

Christmas, Thanksgiving, Anniversary, and Wife's birthday off. Next year - none of the above.

Paid commute, not having a crash pad, 7 days off at a time, and not caring a bit if the airline ever calls me back ...... Priceless.
 
1920 hours "office IMC" sitting left seat with 3 Dell Flat sceen Monitors, 14,040 flight releases [18days/Mo x 65 releases/day x 12 months], 5 phone lines, 400 pilots, 5 grumpy captains, 2 emergencies, 216 meals at my desk, thousands of snaks, and a partridge and a pare tree!
 
And to think I tried to work as little as possible...

733 hours in the B777, upgraded to Captain with 587 as PIC.

Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE about all those statements?
 
734.0 Hours in 2004
1029.7 Hours in 2003

I guess that's what I get for switching from flying checks to flying pax.
 
126 hours in 2004 - from zero time to Instrument rated and (almost) Commercial Single...

Logbook Pro pulls up the break down:
126 Total Hours (decent)
38 Approaches (tons of misses)
7.1 Actual (such a turn on)
55 Cross Country (50nm or more)
69.2 With landings at another airport (135 baby!)
36.7 Solo (whoopie)
92.5 PIC
15 FTD (ATC 710 - my instructor insists it's a "simulator" but...we'll just leave it under FTD)

Dang that was easy with logbook pro...

Resolutions for 2005
1) Lose enough weight to comfortably fit into something with people in the back.
2) Get in to something with people in the back.

dont worry.. it'll surely be a lot less this year... :P

Maybe if you leave some of those day combos for us junior guys, your totals will come down.;)
 
700 hours in 2004
 
200 hours total

30 hours in the dark
12 hours in the soup

2000+ hours in a machine shop helping to save the family biz (aka Dad's retirement) :)

Hopefully having an ATP after next week will help the employment search and raise the numbers for 2005.

Happy New Year...........

Yepp, this is how it starts, then the next thing you know you're flying turkey day, christmas day, new years, and every day in-between. Good Luck and Fly Safe!

I hope it doesnt come to that... I take it you had a bad experience?
 
378 hours - mostly in the Airbus, and a few in a little Cessna. Averaged 6 days of flying per month while on reserve...lots of time to golf and play with the new baby.
 
Cute lil' Cessna, ain't it? :)


Even cuter baby though.
 
TGates--Yep. They're making me get qualified in the GIV. Guess I'll have to dumb down again... ;) TC

According to the company records, 525 hours. About another 150 hours on top of that for recreational and other flying. Approximately 160 days away from home. All this for way too little cash.
