Yeah, I noticed the cat fight and oddities of personality. But the industry wouldn't be complete without these folk. Believe me, I am one of them at my own company!
Found out some good info along the way. I hope to complete my application this weekend. Been busy flying/on duty for between 10-15 hours per day for the past 5 days with 3-5 legs per day. Looking forward to the same amount of time one with just a few legs per trip. So I'll get it done now that I have 3 days off.
Anyway, 'paying my dues' as some would say. US East Coast flying is as tough as it gets I think.
