How I spent my Labor Day

By coincidence, I haven't had a Labor Day off since I started laboring here. Two years ago, I started IOE (Initial Operating Experience) on Labor Day. Last year, I was working a schedule that was every Friday-Monday so I could teach my Private Pilot ground school at LCCC on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This year, I'm in St. Louis undergoing transition training into the ERJ-145.

Since I'm busy studying for next week's checkride, this post will be just some pictures of how I spent my Labor Day weekend. Enjoy!

Here's a quick, fun video from United that shows a bit of what my life has been like this week (although I fly for United Express, not United, so I'm in St. Louis instead):
