| | Been some time since my last update. I'm done with IOE and all that. They've based me near Washington D.C.
I'm currently staying out of a crashpad that's about 15 minutes from Dulles International Airport. Although I didn't get my first choice of La Guardia Airport, it isn't too bad, as commuting is easy with the jumpseat privileges. A direct flight from Dulles to La Guardia is typically less than an hour. For most of January I sat reserve - which sucks, because I typically had 5 days reserve and 2 days off. I actually have a pretty set schedule for the month of February that looks pretty good - no reserve days, all overnight trips, and a total of 13 days off in the month. I've already been able to utilize the perks of being an airline pilot - such as the free travel (for myself and my girlfriend). And of course we get discounts on all types of different things. My last post focused on a negative aspect of the job. I still stand by my previous statements about commitment to aspects of my life that are more important to me than work. But airplanes need to be flown nomatter what is going on in my personal life - so that can make things tough. Overall I'm happy that right now I get to do something I love and call it work.
