It is winter now, so I will have to endure it till spring, but I am convinced that the previous owner never did clean out the vents.

((((shudder))))

How're all the Early Birds this morning?
All is well here...just a bit cool!
No snow or other drama!
Hope all of you have a GREAT day!
That ol' weekend is on its way!
((((hugs))))

Now is a good time to take on Phoenix Sky Harbor. If you go through there in the summer, you take a chance on having high temperatures affect air density.

I can remember a day when air temp was 122*F. Our Mesa Airlines flight was limited to passengers or baggage; not both. The passengers opted to have their baggage come down to Ft. Huachuca the next day!

[SkyDancer]

I go where my routes are for the day. I bid on routes like other pilots, trade around. Those with more seniority get first bids on preferred routes.

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

All is well here, just kind of chilly. Not freezing or anything.

Is it too cold for you and Bo to get out to the lake today? I’ll bet both of you are ready for some roaming! :)

....and pie!!

[HiJinx]

I thought that was the way it worked.
Until you get some seniority, you’re sorta stuck with what you can get - leftovers, as it were.

[SkyDancer]

Yep. The only way you could get a preferred route is if a senior pilot needs that route because of some reason or other and you switch. I usually have my routes planned out for the month as soon as the routes are posted and I bid on some I want.

[E.G.C.]

It may be but we’ll see. In the upper 20’s right now.
