a day in the life of a pilot

Wow the last week flew by.  It was my “down time” between work and classes and I was busier than normal.  Class starts tomorrow.

Friday I was in Chicago for a total of 4 hours and it has an interesting flight tale attached.

  1. Flight delayed 2 hours
  2. Flight cancelled
  3. Flight rescheduled for 12 hours later than the original time (for 7am)
  4. Flight delayed 2 hours (so the pilot can sleep…didn’t we know about this the night before?)
  5. Fly first class (for the inconvenience)
  6. Enjoy 2 extra drinks and 1 extra bag of pretzels and 10% more foot room (definitely worth the upgrade)
  7. Arrive back at the airport (after being in Chicago for 4 hours)
  8. Check into the kiosk and realize that my flight is delayed 2 hours (2 hours is the cool amount of time for flights to be delayed)
  9. Hit the “change flight” button and change the reservation to a flight that was delayed and should have left by now
  10. Get out of Chicago 30 mins earlier than I should have (and avoid my delayed flight)

 

Fun times.  The flight was such a great time.  I recommend flying during tornados.
