The tradition continues, it's that time of year. How did y'all do?

Got 5 more days of reserve so close enough. It was a great year and feeling super lucky to be able to do it.

398 hours block in the Guppy
~1205 credit (worked the system a bit)
69 landings
145,018 miles

Still have 2.75 trips left to finish so there will be more. But as of today 520 block, 103 landings, 168,412 miles, and 27,894 passengers successfully delivered. Zero clue what I credited but it paid for my pool so enough.

And if we wanna include my commutes the mileage goes up a bit more. More interesting to me is the 52 hours of my life stolen by delayed operations!

I was out on medical until June recovering from ankle surgery, and then was mostly doing ALPA work for the rest of the year... only 14 flights and 92 hours. Hopefully back to more normal flying in few months.

That sounds almost as bad as me. No wonder you're not happy!

Try again in the kindest way possible: I'm not unhappy. I'm simply pointing out that things could be better. Or there are real structural issues with growth at my airline.

All the emotional stuff: "you're miserable, you're angry" etc. That is all coming from forum members who IMO have some real underlying issues they should get some help for.
 
I flew a big goose-egg (of course) this year. However, I'm excited to report that my son will start flight training in the fall, and he and I are going to go ride with a friend of mine sometime in January. Naturally, I'll probably never log another hour of flight time, that's fine, I got enough for one lifetime, but it's very cool to see my son so excited about flying and airplanes, etc.

I have a deal for him, if he can get good grades and do a good job in high school, then he can get 1 lesson per month. This was exactly the same strategy my dad used to get me to care about school, why I ended up becoming a pilot, and choosing to make a career out of it. We didn't come from money or anything like that, but dad was pretty smart, that $100-200/mo went a long way towards making me care about school. I got good grades even in the classes I hated so I could get in the airplane. My son seems extremely motivated for this himself, so it's pretty cool!

Next year when this thread pops open I'm going to report back on how much flight time my boy got and not his washed up dad.

Honestly, my mistake. Personally, I'm very not happy working this hard for this long, and I thought I read similar in your responses.
 
409 or so hours. Evenly split B757 and 767 (like almost exactly evenly split, somehow). One week a monthish in the office. Would be closer to 500 if I wasn’t out on leave taking care of my fiancée (she’s fine, better than fine in fact? the last few weeks.

I did a lot of deadheading since charters were involved (in fact I did way more charter 757 flying than regular 757 flying—it’s a fun little operation that I am going to miss).

Got a Kona over Christmas and a DCA SEA LIH schlep over New Years and a training date in March, which if you’re going to go to Atlanta is a fine time to do it.
