What were some flights that you either were tough and you really kicked ass or just that we unique or especially fun? Tell those flights that stand out in your career.
I would absolutely love doing JFK-LGA ferry flights. I've done a couple at the two airlines I worked at and it was always fun. You plan as best as you could but you know what no matter what you do, it will always change by ATC just tossing them around. A good chance to place a monetary wager with your teammates on what their actual airborne time will be!
Otherwise, I loved the challenge of doing over-land ETOPS over Russia. Flying from Kyrgyzstan to Japan was easily my toughest flying ever. Making sure that those ETOPS airports in Russia were ARFF-ok and monitoring their TAFs that amended seemingly twice an hour with drastic changes to keep it all legal.
