I have a feeling that this year will have a whole lot more driving and a real struggle getting to Plat again using only work flights. Time to start planning some weekend MR's.

Long drives really irritate me.....I'm good for about 90 minutes tops before I start really getting bored.

Took a nice drive down through Topanga Canyon and then up the PCH to Oxnard this afternoon. The wind really started kicking up, which made it a little sketchy at times on some of the more precarious parts of the PCH.

Was just looking at Co Jobs and noticed that the Newark Hub is currently looking for a manager. Hope this was not in reaction to the security breach a few weeks ago!

Based on the salary grade posted for that EWR manager job, I tend to doubt the Station Manager (he who gave us the "hublet") is gone...pay tops out at $5,075/mo, which is low $60ks/yr.

Yeah....tell me about it. According to company policy, I'm supposed to drive to every appointment less than 4 hours away (and apparently in the vicinity of 4 hours if it costs even a little bit more than flying there)

Did I forget to mention that I finished last year $11,000 under budget??

:rolleyes:

I feel your pain. My manager had to take 5 layovers on an Asian trip because it saved the company $50 or so. The times we live in are :rolleyes:.
