You don't know what day of the week it is, what city you're in, what city you just came from and what city you're going to next!

...you are a career professional pilot and go into Starbucks and respond to the "what can I get you today" with "do you have any jobs available?"

Sadly, no. I wish that was my excuse. Just too much time off. Flightinfo, APC, JetCareers, Bluepilots, JetBluePilots (yes, those are two different sites). I gotta stop getting all my chores done in the morning so I have something else to do in the evenings.
