Things I Like About Flying The Line

[SizzleChest]

and this...

* being diplaced and pay protected for your whole line to be reassigned to training all month and having space positive too/from home in 1st class while line pilots loose pay for WX CNXs.

 

[rausda27]

*Calling in times at the end of your trip and NOT being told to call crew scheduling...

*Showing up for your PC and find yourself assigned to KM for the check..

*Walking out of the terminal and seeing the hotel Van waiting for you...

Just a few from what I remember..

 

[Mesabi Miner]

* "Mesaba ____ cleared Direct... (anywhere) /G!
* Hoops in PIA
* Convective Sigmets for the east coast (when we're in Ohio.)
* "Mesaba, you're #4 for departure, can you take the intersection?"
* Vacancy notices
* The new hydraulic QRH

* and, the four reasons I got into airline flying to begin with - chicks, money, power, and chicks...

- not being worried about wx in ATL since you are on day two thus you don't have to commute....... yet
- can you take a short approach? (in CVG right downwind 18R)
- followed by: can you take 18C?
- Peet's Coffee in Conc A CVG.
- SBN overnight doing the blazin' wings... followed by an explosive diariah just prior the 5am van but at latest (hopefully) below V1
- seeing someone moving on to a good company
