If everything is going well and you've been in there before none of these airports present a particular problem. Throw in some weather, communication issues, deferred items, engine failure, etc. then it gets interesting!



And yeah those former naval Aviators....

Do you guys overnight on intl flights?

Almost always except Lima, Peru is an out and back. (Unless you suck some vultures through the engine on takeoff and have to come back, then you get to spend a few nights.)

Oh, and Caracas. We don't stay there. Thank goodness.

Hello I start class on August, was wondering if you could post a monthly schedule or how flights are assigned on each month, and what is the variety of the flights?
How many to South America, Europe?

Thanks

You'll be on reserve for at least a year. Lots of Mexico and Miami-Panama for you.
