The Charter

Feb 08, 13 The Charter

For a change of pace, at the end of December I bid a three day trip. Now, as most of you know I usually only fly turns. I like being at home every night, in my own bed (soon to be upgraded to a queen from a full, mind you) but I have grown out of the “partying” on my layovers phase and in flying turns I can get my minimum hours...
