"It is always........

The toughest part of the job is getting to the jet, then into the left seat and the jet off the gate and to the departure runway. The second toughest part of the job is getting the jet off the runway after landing and back to the gate.

Most of my exposure to really "bad stuff" takes place during those two events. It's frightening how fast things can go from benign and routine to career and life threatening in this field.


Take care out there as you move the metal; as "it is always a test"
It will be interesting to know how long the RJ crew had been on duty

Respectfully,
