Lots of people think the life of an
airline employee is filled with glamorous trips to exotic destinations, and it is! But it
is not a life for the fainthearted! Stand-by travelers are a different breed.
We actually ENJOY the uncertainty of not knowing whether we will get a seat on an
airplane. We get a rush from being called by the gate agent and told to hurry onto
the plane and take any available seat. If you are fortunate enough to be one of the
"proud, the few, the airline employees", be sure to read over our Essential Rules of Non-Revenue Travel to maximize your non-revenue
travel experiences. If you are not a stand-by traveler, most of the rules can be
adapted for confirmed travel as well. See also our Packing
Lists and FAQ pages.
Our website is divided into three
parts. The "Trips" section contains diaries and photographs of some of our trips. The
"Events" section contains photos and write-ups
about some of our other areas of interest. The "Family & Friends" section
contains pictures and information about our family and friends as well as some links to
their websites.
