Ed,
That old truck is certified to 41,000 feet but the
dash-10 DC-10's take forever to get there. The cold
weather helps but it doesn't make much sense to climb
into a headwind (Westbound). I first got interested
in sailing flying to Vancouver, BC as a new hire. A
captain I flew with a lot kept a sailboat in Seattle.
We used to have four-day layovers in Vancouver and
he'd drive down and spend the time-off on the boat.
Unfortunately we no longer have anything more than two
days off conus, and I fly daytime only which means
short layovers. As the DC-10 fleet gets whittled down
through the conversion process to MD-10's I'll be
forced to fly something else, like maybe that frog
built thing. I keep watching their schedules and
looking for cities with daytime trips where I can
stage a sailboat.
