Working a full 10 of 10 days

Yup, as predicted it's been a busy set of "available" days. Not a lot of flying, actually, barely any, just mostly sitting around in hotels.

My trip has differed slightly from what I predicted in my last post, which of course is no surprise with my occupation. I'm currently in Toronto and have been since Sunday. I did spend Thursday to Sunday in Penticton just hanging out, then flew out to Toronto later Sunday afternoon. I was only in Calgary for a couple of hours but was surprised to see our hangar was full of Bentleys. It turns out we did a joint program where we had a bunch of showroom Bentleys being shown off in our hangar, along with one of our newest jets (the jet I was to take to Toronto later that day). A pretty smart idea getting some Bentley people out to see a different way of travelling around. Because if you can afford a $250,000 automobile, there is a chance you could afford a share in a private jet. And vice versa, our clients who were flying around that day came in to check out the fancy cars inside, because I'm sure if they can afford to fly on our jets, they can certainly afford any of the Bentleys that were on display. Some of our pilots even got to take them out for test drives too, I unfortunately had a flight to Toronto, so was unable to partake.

So I've been in Toronto now since Sunday just hanging out. Tomorrow (Thursday) we are showing off the plane to a potential client at the Pearson Airport here. We might go up for a quick flight, but weather is supposed to be real crappy and so I'm not sure they're going to want to go up only to get bounced around and not be able to see anything outside anyways. We'll find out tomorrow I guess. After all of that is done I'll be heading down to Tampa FL for a night, then Friday it's off to Lexington KY and then Palm Springs CA. Saturday is day 10/10, and I foresee a Westjet flight home to Calgary that day in time to begin my days off on Sunday. I'm sure glad I packed a full suitcase for this stint. I haven't been in Calgary in quite some time, based on some busy flying last rotation and then spending my days off in Vancouver. It will be nice to get settled back into Calgary for a change!
