This morning at god knows what time my PDA started flashing and going mental to tell me that i had to baby sit a flight to Glasgow at 0600 ... the scheduled departure time was 0735.

  The reason for this was one of our pilots, was still recovering from the New Year. So ... me like an idiot actually answered the email, and said i would take the hop. It is only around 5 hours and i would be at home getting ready for recurrent anyway. I hate flying these little domestics first thing in the morning. They are full of fresh faced business men who are ready to go mental if there is the dlightest bit of turbulance and there pen misses the line or something, but i am here now, getting ready for 1486 GLA-LHR ... then, hopefully there will be a pilot to take over ... if there isn't i'll be stuck on this route untill 10pm .. ugh.

 Anyway i shall make best of what is happening, good for getting a feel again for the 757, even if i am in the right hand seat.
