The less the merrier....

Back when I was on the 727, I worked about 10 days out of 28 and flew around 100 hours a year.

Now, since I'm on the 757, I'm working about 9 days out of 28 but flying around 600 hours a year. It's day flying, though, and I'm home every night.

I guess you could say I don't like flying so much now but the combination of day flying and being home makes it worth the extra block hours.

About 5 of my 7 hours a day are sooooo boring. If we could just get internet access at FL370...I'd be set....
