So it's raining outside

Well, as anyone close to me knows - I haven't been doing much flying this month. Not that I haven't been available, just that my employer hasn't called me much to work.

Getting paid either way, so - so be it. Been called four times. First to come and sit ready reserve at the airport for eight hours, no flying though. Second call was to notify me of a day line earlier this week, flew 4hrs and 45 minutes, paid for 4hrs and 48 minutes. Third call yesterday evening to notify me of a two-trip that starts on Saturday at 9am, with an overnight in New Jersey. Fourth call was this afternoon to be notified that the previous mentioned two-day trip has been reassigned.

So, that's it. What's really funny is that I actually had a message from the FO taking the two-day trip on Facebook telling me that I should be getting a call shortly. Small world I tell you. The trip was reassigned for training.

All of the pilots who were on the ATR-72 are currently in training for the CRJ-200, some of them must be nearing the end of their training and as such are they are getting sent out for OE (Operational Experience).

But hey - another weekend at home (or so it looks like) to watch College football, and study for an upcoming LOFT (Line Oriented Flight Training) event in November.

Thanks for the link to my photo on Airliners.net. Small world, eh? I'm guessing you work for ASA?

Yup, you'd be correct. It's a wonderful photo. Hopefully I didn't violate Airliners.net's image use policy.
