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.

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

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.

you love it and you know it!

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.

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?

yup!


woog I'd be pretty concerned if you haven't flown in that long

Has anyone noticed the spike over the past two weeks?

The trips are gone again. I might go sit in the airplane, make airplane noises and pretend I'm racking up some bonus miles. Maybe I'll just turn my phone off and drink instead.

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.
