Dude, someone should actually record this - then everyone could film themselves singing along. You'd have one hell of a funny video if you put them altogether. Sorta like this guy ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uSlqI1AVUk

Yeah, Dad loves the international stuff. Plus its the only thing that is commutable in EWR. Now that he is a CA and junior, he gets to visit all those cities that he hasn't been to before. Open time was nice to him this month though. Traded a Belfast Northern Ireland trip for an Athens. Both the FOs on the ATH trip are WAY senior to him. The difference in pay between those trips is about what a regional FO makes in a MONTH If I do the flying thing, I definitely want to do the international flying.

I'm still debating holding for ER captain, which isn't all that far off, or bidding back domestic captain after my lock is up. Not quite sure what to do yet

He waited until he could be a lineholder 756 CA. FWIW.

| Old Skool | Doesn't matter what you do, you'll find it new and interesting in either situation. I know you were burned out on the whole domestic thing, but you'll probably find the additional challenges of being in the left seat on par with what you've found with international flying.

| Agent Smith | January 10, 1998. DAY to MKE. Landed to the north, walked past crew scheduling's door, Brad the scheduler tried to junior assign me a trip for the 11th, I told him that I wasn't going. He told me to report to the chief pilot's office for failure to cover a trip. I told him I was leaving for Southernjets. He asked if they were hiring crew schedulers. (insert Chris Hansen "HA!" here)
