I think the best way to get paid to sit on a beach and fly for fun is to be an airline CEO! Run the airline into the ground, and once you resign, take your $50 million bonus to the bank and spend the rest of your life sipping Kirkaritas on the white sandy beaches of Anytown, USA. On the other hand, maybe I should be asking YOU for that advice! You're the lucky so-and-so who's sitting on the beach and flying for fun. What's your secret?? :) Heh.

I didn't have nearly the schedule complexity that you do! Luckily that horrible feeling that punches you in the gut around 7:05 fades as you realize that now you have a day off starting right when the sun is coming up! Even more fun is being a dispatcher and watching someone show up (usually running and out of breath from being a little behind) with the knowledge that they don't even work that day. I have enjoyed your site, the objective line in your resume, and some of your insights to the troubles with 121 life. Now what is the best way for me to get paid to sit on a beach and fly for fun...?
