That has been the sentiment for a while on frequency, especially a ton of thank yous, a ton of just, hey, appreciate you guys, you know, being at work.

Thanks for what you do.

That's happening a lot.

Every time you sit down, you're getting that.

We appreciate that.

Ready. Welcome to Opposing Bases Air Traffic Talk, an aviation podcast by two air traffic controllers

and rated pilots who love to talk about flying, controlling, and everything in between.

The show is for entertainment purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for your instructor, your supervisor, the FAA, the NTSB, or your cat.

The show will give you a better understanding of how things work in the national airspace system

and maybe even make you laugh along the way.

Please welcome retired Army pilot Alpha Golf and first officer at Penguin Airlines Romeo Hotel.

Thank you. Penguin Airlines Romeo Hotel. It's Tuesday, November 4, 2025, episode 410.

On today's show, we'll talk about training at the triad, reroute confusion, and more of your awesome aviation questions.

What's up, Aegee?

Hello, hello, everyone. Happy Tuesday. Thank you. I missed the show. We haven't recorded in like two weeks. Yeah, I missed it. I know. And I feel all out of sorts. It doesn't take long. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, where you forget what we're doing and the buttons to push. I think everything's working. I'll find out afterwards when I tried to merge these two files. If we... I am recording. Completely forgot what we're doing. Yes. I will let you talk for a second. I'll get my fun, not fun out of the way. Fun, not fun, whatever you want to call it.

Just work. I've been busy. I did get a line in October and November for the...

A real line. A real line. If you're either on reserve or you're a line holder.

And I hate calling myself a line holder because it's just temporary. It's winter.

More senior people bid reserve,

which means there's more scraps to be had. The scraps on our fleet are amazing. It's London.

And I've been doing a lot of it. I just got back. I have three more London's this month.

Really, the only difference between me on reserve and me as a lineholder is I know for the whole month I'll be going to London instead of finding out the day before.
