A Whole Lotta Sitting Going On

May 19th, 20106:34 pm @


I’m on day 4 of 6.

Sunday – Airport Standby 6AM-2PM…never called for a flight

Monday – Airport Standby 6AM-2PM…never called for a flight

Tuesday – Airport Standby 2PM-10PM…never called for a flight

Wednesday – Reserve Callout 10AM-2PM….called at 4:14PM as I was heading out the door to take my wife to dinner for her birthday.

Thankfully I was just called to go sit…Airport Standby at 6:15PM. I changed into my uniform pants and shoes and put on a polo. I tossed my uniform shirt in the car. After dinner my wife dropped me off and here I sit until 10PM. Tomorrow I was going to have….Airport standby from 6AM-2PM. No longer legal for it. Now I will likely be on a reserve call out again from 10AM-2PM. My last day of reserve for the week will be on Friday…marking 6 days in a row. Ouch.

If I was a commuter I would be hating life as I would be paying for either a crash pad or hotel each night. Things could always be worse. I don’t see myself flying anywhere tonight…..just a whole lotta sitting going on.
