Exclamation

Will someone describe in detail a long 12-14 hour day, which was preceded by 5 hours sleep in a noisy hotel, and how many weather/technical problems were involved, which earned some of you just part of those salaries?

A neighbor (a very fortunate CPA) down the street asked me how much we work per month, and I forgot to qualify our average 80-hour month. Forgot the preflight times, long delays with no rest periods etc, rapidly changing weather/mechanical/fuel status, living many days on lousy stale sandwiches, lousier coffee and Pepsi-Colas, and gone from home on many Christmases and birthdays, relatives' funerals...
