I’m really embracing my new found point of view on gender pronouns and the whole issue with labeling people. I feel totally woke. I’ve been making sure that I treat all my coworkers with the respect they deserve although when I asked one of them what their pronoun was she laughed and winked at me. It’s almost too complicated for me to figure out. … Continue reading Banter at the Border
In the wake of watching Jack knocking out his super-white teeth I’ve actually been doing quite a bit of work. As much as I “like” working I’ve been finding it getting weirder and weirder in the last few months. I just seem to get landed with strange people on every trip away and before you even think it – it’s not me! As is … Continue reading The Truth About Chemtrails
I have been back in Dublin just a few days and I can’t say enough about how much I love this city. Simple things like a decent cup of coffee are hard to come by in the desert so I am thankful to be home. Telling my sick Dad to give me a break to write this seems kind of mean, but it was just … Continue reading The Battle of Jakarta
Since I collapsed on the flight deck and proved that the coffee diet I invented is one of my finest moments to date, I have in fact been to a number of yoga classes. Fitting it in around a roster that has me going East and West like an explorer in the middle ages is tough and although I decided against the yoga pants … Continue reading The Force Is Strong On The Flight Deck
It’s a new year and it’s a new me! Well, that’s what I’m trying to convince myself of as I sit here bored off my tits at 35’000 feet. I definitely consumed too much food and drink over Christmas and I am severely bloated as a result. My uniform pants are feeling way tighter than they should and I’m starting to wish I caught the … Continue reading New Year, New Me?
Having gotten over the failure to launch on Halloween weekend I’m heading to Bangkok for a few days. Flying with a decent crew; Jim is a pretty superb Captain, he misses the odd thing but so do I and sure that’s why there are two of us. We had talked about the chances of thunderstorms or CBs, that’s “cumulonimbus clouds” to the uninitiated, on … Continue reading Crosswind Concentration
Halloween is one of my favourite times of year. It’s pretty much a license for all involved to engage in a level of absurdity and promiscuity that normally causes fights and breakups. This year I’m in Dubai and I’m rolling with some of my best mates from flight school – Craig, Bill and Ronald. When we hang out together we have the most epic … Continue reading Stranger Things Have Happened
Making my way to Head Office to discuss my inappropriate use of the fire test system inflight proved to be a shittier day than I had expected. They basically read me the riot act. In honesty, I feel that’s a little harsh but I couldn’t defend it as a revenge project because that would be pretty unprofessional. Thankfully they’re letting me stay on the … Continue reading Go Pro No-No
