      <image:title>Blog - Line Life, Month 12 — A Memphis Detour That Turned Into Something More</image:title>
      <image:caption>What was originally a standard three-day pairing suddenly became just one leg out and one leg back—with a full day in between. That was enough for me to think: why not make something out of it? So I brought my dad and my older daughter along.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Line Life, Month 12 — A Memphis Detour That Turned Into Something More</image:title>
      <image:caption>The flight down to Memphis had the potential to be messy. There was a squall line that had just moved through the area as we were getting closer. We were fully prepared to deviate, reroute, or at least do some weather work on the way in. Dispatch had clearly anticipated that as well—they planned us with about 20,000 pounds of fuel, which is the highest I’ve personally seen so far, just a few hundred pounds shy of max fuel. Even the fueler raised an eyebrow when he saw the number. In the end, though, it turned out to be one of those “prepare for the worst, get the best” situations. The line had already pushed through, and we didn’t need to deviate at all. Smooth ride in. Icing on the cake, I got along with the CA really well—easy conversations, relaxed cockpit, just one of those pairings where everything clicks. Makes a big difference, especially on a trip like this.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This photo captures the heart of our Flat Panel Training room—a space filled with memories of long hours spent mastering FPT lessons and exploring new challenges in the GB lofts. The room itself feels like a well-loved hub, where every detail of the setup speaks to countless moments of learning and camaraderie. Last day in it for IQ training. Will be back for more for recurrent!</image:caption>
