I meant good luck with the rest of your career and retirement, your going to need it.

Not really. I married into a wealthy family. My mom always told me "you can fall in love with a rich girl just as fast as you can fall in love with a poor one." She was right! Thanks anyway.....

Why doesn't it surprise me GL, that you're as dependent as a child?

I can't believe I hit the lottery TWICE. Once in love, and the other in my job. I am so happy. No West Texas flying ever!

I hit the lottery an infinite number of times! Once in love, once in my job, and every time I don't have to fly with a certain d-bag!

Don't call Redflyer names. He usually doesn't take it well.

Funny how the American dream used to be work hard, create something- make your own name and your own money.
But claiming your wife's family is relevant to your retirement? You can say you're lucky and you are if in love- but I just wouldn't ever take money from a woman or her family. Her money ought to be irrelevant- but that's not what we lazy Americans like anymore- if we can leech instead of create- why not? Right GL?

I can't help it if I FELL IN LOVE with the daughter of a rich guy. You can either embrace that, or rebel away from it. I choose the first. And, getting great Tee times at the very nice Country Club is awesome. Why is that leeching? It's called embracing. I do well on my own, but I don't have to stress out about having to do better. I am not lazy at all. I still do plenty of 12 day trips, primarily to give me 18 off in a row or more, though. (12 on in the beginning of one month, and then a 12 day at the end of the next. You can have 35 off in a row if you can hold it)

Thanks Andy. You and I have had our disagreements in the past, but I have always found you very intelligent and hard to argue with sometimes. Thanks for your input.


Bye Bye--General Lee

How many credit are the 12 day trips on average?

Too bad he only does only 7 legs.....That's a usual day for you Burger...Don't be jealous!

How many credit are the 12 day trips on average?

It depends, but I have seen 12 day trips worth 78 hours, and 13 day trips worth 83. They all have INTL override, which is an extra $4 an hour, and the perdiem is an extra 50 cents per hour, which on a 12 day trip can add up. But again, I do it because it is easy. I usually deadhead to SFO or PDX, and then fly the next day to NRT. I do one or two turns back to those cities, or go to Honolulu. I even had one that had me deadheading to Honolulu, and then I went back and forth to Nagoya and Fukuoka Japan from HNL. One of the layovers in Hawaii was 48 hours too. Really nice work. The other thing about INTL layovers in Japan is that the taxes you get back because you layover in those cities. Cities like Osaka and Nagoya have a per diem allowance of $46 PER MEAL by the IRS.(DTW layovers for example are less than $20 per meal) I don't spend that, I usually go to my Gyoza or Sushi places that I know aren't too expensive. But, your IRS tax return is a lot more. Then again, my wife has a great job and her dad is "real nice" to us, so who cares. Still, I enjoy it a lot.

I had a Delto jumpseater recently ask me "how many legs today"?, I said "uh three" . I think some of you guys actually think we fly seven legs a day, Delto is definitely the home of the most uninformed pilots in the industry. It is no joke that all of you guys are cast from the same mold, unfortunately its a rather incognizant mold.
