Toronto, Eh?

It’s been a while since I’ve written and I survived summer flying. My second summer on the line went surprisingly much better than my first. Some of the worst weather, delays, mechanical issues and short layovers were all in the first few months of my career. Maybe I just got used to that as the […]

Only a dream in Rio
