COVID-19 Relief Flight Series #3
As mentioned in my previous installment, this is a continuation flight to ferry the remaining relief cargo which we picked up in Brussels on to the island of Palma De Mallorca (LEPA). At the time of the breakout of the Coronavirus, the resort island was packed with tourists and unfortunately not all were able to…
COVID-19 Relief Flight Series #2
While my first installment brought us to Europe, I’m going to spend some time flying and jumping around to a few different payware airports which I haven’t visited in a while. Much like flight #1, these may not be actual routes served by the carriers I’m going to simulate. But these are flights my imagination…
COVID-19 Relief Flight Series #1
As I mentioned in my update post from yesterday, I have been spending some of my free time flying. It helps me destress and gives my mind something to focus on. The title “COVID-19 Relief Flight Series” has dual meaning. First, yes…in my imagination I’m flying some form of relief supplies from point A to…

A Pilot’s Life Storyteller Series–S1, E10
The situation is getting worse. Since returning from Portland, it’s been more than 10 days since I’ve worked and I’m looking at my options. Before I accepted the transfer to San Francisco, I had been contacted by Southwest Airlines. I’m currently in discussions and weighing all my options. Something has to change. But for now,…
A Pilot’s Life Storyteller Series–S1, E9
While I’ve only been based at SFO a short time, I’m starting to sense a bit of an uneasy feeling. Some of our pilots have had their schedules cut and others temporarily furloughed. While I enjoy a relaxed schedule, I also need to work. After all, if we’re not flying…we’re not earning a living. I’m…
A Pilot’s Life Storyteller Series–S1, E8
Our new San Francisco adventure starts now and I’m really excited about this new opportunity. My first flight out of SFO will be a trip over to Vegas and back in the 737-800. I’ve flown into and out of SFO many times, but there’s something a little different about this first flight out, as now…
Real World Meets Sim World
I know I’m not the only one who enjoys simulating their real world flights either before or after any trip. I’m actually a little superstitious about it to be honest. In the past dozen years or so, there’s only been one real world trip which I didn’t fly in the sim before hand. It was…
