They were the best of times, and.....
Previous passenger, now freight( Atlas Air ). I enjoyed both, and at times, I hated both. I currently enjoy the ever-changing schedule. No, not the one that changes before a BKK or PVG layover, but the bigger picture of changes that keeps one from getting bored. Years ago I jumpseasted on an AA flight from PHL-MIA. The crew must have flown this for years, as they were bored ****less, knew the controllers by name, as well as the localizer,ect. I swore I'd never live that life. True, this life is frustrating at times, and it takes it's toll, but what doesn't?.
