Yep, Still Here

Franky, I've been busy since my CRJ200 checkride in December. I have been flying all over the east coast.

My time at JFK ( I was based there for only one month ) was very ...ah interesting. Such a large mass of humanity stuffed into one space. And I'm talking about the airport itself. Very confusing setup at the terminal. The actual flying part was cool. Very complex airspace and the controllers don't have a whole lot of patience. Even with that being said, the flying wasn't as hard as it might seem. Now I'm based in Cincinnati, and the flow into and out of there seems a lot easier. I continue to fly into New York on a regular basis and it's good practice. Incidently, if you fly into the JFK airport try not to schedule a flight into or out of there between the hours of 5PM and 10PM. That time frame is when the big international push happens each night. It is cool to be taxiing between a 747-400 and an Airbus A340, but when that taxi takes 2 hours it doesn't seem quite as cool.

In June I make the transition from the CRJ200 ( 50 seater ) to the CRJ700 ( 70 seater ), so I'm excited about that. Hopefully, since our pilot group signed off on a new agreement so things within the company will settle down and I'll start moving a little in seniority.

Signing off for now. Cheers.
