Those are some impressive city pairs, Doug. Sounds like fun but I certainly understand your fatigue. Long days in a loud, warm cockpit can wear you down. Thinking about that makes me appreciate my ERJ cockpit a bit more, with the AC blasting, lumbar support, sunshades, etc. The other day I had a similar type of 'cross-country'. ELP-IAH-STL-EWR. Trust me I was tired after that one too.

Thanks for the update. I hope you have enjoyed the crew aspects of the XC flying... two pilots together maximize safety, utility, and efficiency as compared to single pilot operations.

Cheers to your next phase of training!
