I couldn't agree more. While he was most likely on his 3rd leg of the day, I was on my only leg of the day. That was Tuesday, its now Thursday and I have been golfing the last 3 days in Monterey, heading home tomorrow. Enjoying the hotel, rental car, and all meals courtesy of my company expense report. Can't complain about that schedule. And as far as the compensation, I'm not sweating the light bill and I pay cash for my new cars.

You should have asked him how the paycheck was.

I had a drag race out of the gate with a 757 and my baggage cart today in ATL. I had to drop the cart but I won.

There is NOTHING fast about the dash 8. People like to feel that we are because we are the fastest 121 prop out there but if you put it into perspective we are the SLOWEST 121 jet out there if they want to put us in that category.
I have only flown the -400 and there is nothing special or magical about that plane. I have heard great things about the -1,-2,-3 series as far as their handling and what you can make them do.
We are faster than the CE-500 series but only until we get stuck in hard IMC topped out at FL250 and pull it back so we do not get our wings torn off.
What were we talking about again? Oh yea, who gets to golf more and its not me.

I used to love in my instructing days flying to Memphis (KMEM) during the Fed Ex push in the Seminole. We would hold it at Vno+ all the way until the last min and would go think it was hilarious when they told the MD-11 to pick up speed and told us to slow down.

When was the last time you took your citation from 6000 down to a surface elevation of 900' inside of a 6 mile final. Mine was today since ELM approach left us high and dry so the Pinnacle Barbie Jet could land ahead of us.
Flaps 35 and Props Max and just floated home. oh and it was only leg four of a 4 leg day.
