I-am-a-pirate. I do not need credentials!
And a first leg red-eye. I seriously don’t mind red-eye flying but having to start a rotation with one is brutal.
I have no problem doing a red-eye to start. I'm usually up until 1 or 2 AM PDT anyways so having to stay awake long enough to land on the east coast is really only 2-3 hours later than I usually go to bed by the time I get to the hotel. Plus it makes the commute in a lot easier for me than the early AM shows and the walk in the dark down Century Blvd because inevitably the hotel van is over crowded.
It's the switching to AM shows by the end of the trip that mess with me. That 4:45 AM show in BWI is brutal. Especially after 12 hour overnight and the long van ride from Annapolis.
