on a bad weather day

Post by Eagle »

I was wondering what kind of work you guys are asked to do (by your employer) if there is bad weather or simply no clients to fly? :?:

Log it as a day off and either find something to do or just kick my feet up and watch Oprah reruns while eating bon-bons.

Judging by the height of the hornets nests, its going to be a long, hard winter.

I'm planning to wash my plane, audit the training files, and operational flight plans.
My co-pilot is going to wash the plane and gather up the loose crap from the flight planning room and jettison it.
One of the other crews will do the same for the hangar area, then we collectively are going to clean the loading ramp area.
