all right good morning everybody it is sunday day before labor day i'm all dressed up i'm
going to work a little bit of time off actually a good amount of time off uh i needed it but uh
the weekend posed a lot of opportunity to pick up an extra trip which i picked up a two day and uh
it is going to be a rough one five legs today two of those are deadhead so meaning i'm riding
in the back um i had to park on the roof today because every other floor downstairs was full so
uh everybody's getting out for that last weekend before uh last holiday weekend for a little bit
until we have thanksgiving so i'm going to help you get home or get to where you want to go
all right guys here we are here's our clearance over to san francisco uh doing
the keen stew harbor that's why we'll climb via the sid eight thousand feet to top out
that's already set there expect forty in three minutes twenty six eight and two six six five
we got that here it's also turned on to t-a-r-a just because you can see it on the ground with the
adsv and all that stuff so here's the route that's what it looks like today this is leg one of five
although i can't complain because my last two legs i'm just deadheading in the back so
it's not a true five playing so it's out of here we are doing the kings 2 departure and
harbor transition so let's sit up here brief it up basically we're taking off to the east flip a 180
head back to the west hit harbor and then from that point we'll just kind of b-bop our way up
the california coast ending up in san francisco so it is a little weird because it's been a
little bit of time off i expected to fly to cirrus today but uh yeah i did it for the money
so i'm here fly this two-day trip get through it uh it is a pretty grueling one but and again
it pays well so i'm not gonna complain so anyways that's the deal uh we'll see you in san francisco
all right everybody we are here bravo 13 in san francisco is what it took us
just an hour and a half of actual flight time we blocked 151 so obviously the difference is uh
wheels up to touchdown is our flight time block time is when we release the parking brake to when
we walk into the gate here door opens up parking brake is uh set so that's what our block time
is and that's what's actually used to calculate our flying rules so it's all based on block time
like when you're logging full time in your uh your training you know basically as soon as that master
switch goes on your login time same thing kind of here but uh we're going to be heading over
to denver at 39 000 feet should take us about two hours once we get there and then from there
i gotta run to another flight uh captain's gonna deadhead from denver to portland uh i'm gonna fly
a flight over to palm springs which is my first time going into palm springs in uh 7 37. i hear
it's a little tricky a little steve so i'm going to read up on that we've got some notes that we
can read up on whenever we open up a new station or things like that so that's what i'm going to do
we are here about 15 minutes early so i'm going to run and grab some food i didn't really pack
a good food bag um it was last minute not taking this trip but i'm gonna go grab some food get some
more coffee get the airplane ready we're gonna hit it again it's coffee time coffee coffee coffee
all right guys here we are i just got a clearance uh i'm doing the trucking two emoji then as well
expect 39 and 10. uh let's see 20 point nine and three three one fourth squad we got three
three one four my common item i missed that so getting better at it turned it on here's what
the route looks like it's basically heading up to the north just getting over uh looks like uh utah
just around salt lake and then on into denver this guy's gonna go to 39 39 up in there
so light occasional moderate turbulence uh with our altitude we should be above it but you know
it's predicted so we'll see what happens on our way there but anyways two hours two minutes head
to denver got a short connect time out of denver they want me to go over to palm springs so got
to get out of this jet head to the palm springs jet apply that one down there and then i get to
relax in the back actually i have uh training coming up so i'll be studying on my two deadheads
up to portland make the time uh maximize your time that's what i say alright so anyways that's the
deal let's keep trucking just keep swimming just keep swimming just keep swimming swimming swimming
all right guys here in denver actually this is the second airplane i just ran over from the other
side just because i had a tight connection and uh i didn't want to be late so anyways uh just got
this airplane ready the clearance has come up uh head over to palm springs failure six table then
it's filed we'll climb via the sid the stock is one four one five and then on the ta get this one
go ahead and accept that kind of quick uh scheduled at ten minutes to get to the airplane
get everything ready but we got into denver early uh the airplane just pulled up a little bit early
so it gave us a little bit of margin on that so uh it is a crew change so i am going to go outside
do a walk around on the airplane really quick get in to head to palm springs first time going
to palm springs in the 7-3 so it's going to be interesting uh briefed it up i'll read up on the
notes or sip pages as we call it and i get some information on that then on our way there and then
right on the back two lakes of dead heading one to oakland and then one to portland then
i got my overnight so it's a marathon you got to keep it going all right see you in a bit
all right everybody we are here palm springs first time taking the 7-3 up in this place
well it's serious in here that's nice from denver hour and 39 minutes blocked two hours
a really easy one now i get to jump in the back goes for dollars for two uh two legs so
i'm pretty happy about that because i'm getting a little a little tired all right uh
we're gonna end up in portland today still the same deal uh we'll see you there
what's up everybody all right we are here uh this may look a little different to you because it's
not portland it is oakland uh they changed us up a little bit hey it's all good uh what you should
expect nowadays uh just because you know what we're we're just trying to keep the operation
going and you gotta you gotta flex when you can and you know when the company calls audible your
way you gotta step up and hit it out of the park so that's what we're gonna do uh i actually lost
my captain so uh he's continuing on on another trip uh i'll meet up with the new captain tomorrow
and uh tomorrow now i'm gonna head from oakland to go up to seattle over to denver and then i'll
deadhead back home as of right now so subject to change of course but uh anyways staying at uh
marriott here in oakland it's really nice this is a uh this is a new hotel for us
um brand new so pretty nice microwave but i don't have my meal prep service
i skipped a week because uh i didn't think i was gonna be flying so i don't have any
meals i'm gonna go downstairs and grab grab some food but uh anyways really nice place
um thinking if i upgrade to oakland this might be my hotel that i stay at for commuting all
right guys i'm gonna go grab a quick bite because it is a short overnight um i think only 11 hour
overnight or something like that typically we don't do those here at our company it's
typically longer but obviously we are short so we're trying to uh maximize each crew member out
there so uh you just gotta pull up uh your boots and pull up your sleeves and and hit it right so
anyways guys uh have a good night i will see you guys in the morning right good morning everybody
yeah look at that this is oakland it's supposed to be uh portland but it's okay so gotta roll with
the punches here is our clearance uh we got a new route just because it's early we're gonna head out
on the hush 2 dead head we'll climb via the sid 40 and 10 there's our departure and that squawk
is 3314. we're going to turn that on just for that cp dlc stuff taking an hour and 30 minutes
here's the route on our way up to seattle should be pretty nice it's west coast flying
like we always talk about that's kind of flying because there's hardly any weather so
that's it again hour and 30 minutes about two to forty thousand feet and uh we're gonna start
the day we're gonna see what ends up hopefully we end up at home today that's uh the number one goal
whatever happens in the middle that happens so all right uh we'll see you guys in seattle
that was a little early but uh certainly wake up now so it's good yeah just kidding
um we are here in seattle a little cloudy day typical seattle weather coming in uh summer is
starting to end but uh anyways it's quick flight hour and 36 minutes we blocked 152
got in really early an hour of ground time before our next flight but uh that's kind of what it
looked like coming in basically went over the uh sound there and then uh shot the uh ils two one
six uh right into seattle so really nice one uh actually we broke out right around uh finka right
around the final approach fig so below that all the way down in was was pretty nice on the weather
flew the hawk 7 arrival but uh yeah kind of slow easy day it was early in the morning so it wasn't
much of uh traffic that's always kind of nice but anyways we're gonna get the airplane ready we go
to denver my last leg and then uh roll in the back fly uh back to phoenix then uh hopefully done for
the day keep our fingers crossed but we'll see all right guys we are here uh jetway is not quite up
yet just waiting on that it's a nice day here in denver actually looks really familiar this uh gate
i think i just came in yesterday but anyways uh as of right now we are all done flying we're gonna
ride in the back back to phoenix so i'm gonna head over kind of kitty courier to this uh gate
area here jump on the deadhead flight and head home uh so then we'll be done once we get there
maybe they do have a little bit of time to catch me at the gate they want me to do something else
anyways that's the mission right now we're gonna clean up and head on out three hours later all
right guys we are back where we started this now we're back where we started yesterday it is hot
out there just getting back in the truck obviously had to park on the roof because there's no parking
out there and uh yeah it's a little hot anyways uh we are back the uh dead head went well
but yeah that's it you know i think the key to this this trip was basically staying patient
you know things are going to change especially now with uh kind of how the operation is going
you just gotta you gotta be flexible man just bring your patients be that uh person you were
in the interview where you said you were willing to do anything you just wanted a shot at the job
well we're gonna put you to the test right you're gonna you're gonna have those days like
today where it's uh you know and it wasn't bad it was a little bit of a change here and there
but it is what it is comes with the job so other than that i hope you guys had a really
good labor day hopefully you weren't working hopefully you were spending it with time uh
spending your time with family and loved ones and friends and all that good stuff and maybe
at the lake so all right guys thanks again for uh watching and uh we'll see you again next
up week up going up growing up growing up getting down
