Wow, Best Summer Job Ever

https://travelguide.wowair.com/

I'd do it, but alas (or should I say, wow) I don't have a BFF.

Yeah that sounds like a good time for sure. Beats my college summer jobs of laying asphalt sealcoat.

This reminds me of the Icelandic “hippie express” flights to Europe 50 years ago. It was said that the seats were cheap for a number of very good reasons.

I have the best job of all - I'm going to be on a cruise ship for 3 weeks. Safe to say I'll be up long past 8 PM every single day. Wheeeeee.

My summer job in college was flying Grand Canyon air tours. I got to meet a diverse group of people and enjoy the odiferous emminations of their body odor. I encountered plenty of euro trash back packing hippies all while confined in a boiling hot Cessna 207 in the Arizona heat during the summers of 1989 and 1990.

That was a truely formative time in my life. I could tell you the approximate BAC level of my passengers and or the contents of their previous meal simply by the distinct oder of their vomit, no visual confirmation needed.
