This month was my first introduction to red eye flying. Flying into the sunrise and sleeping during the day was a new one for me. Surprisingly, some pilots actually prefer these flights as a lot of them are efficient and high credit. I will most likely be seeing a lot more red eye flights until I gain the seniority to avoid them. Safe to say that I will not be bidding for them intentionally.
Really not too bad a month otherwise with only 59 hours of flight time. RDU, JFK and PIT were all new destinations.
I also did my first cargo flight as well. Now that was a neat experience! No uniform required. Just me and the captain, serving ourselves our own food and drinks. Aside from the cargo and self serve galley, it actually felt a lot like the crew cross country flights I did at ATP!
