It is time that I offer my unreserved apologies to Cap'n Aux. I foolishly called him our most attention starved pilot. This was a reckless and false charge which I now wish to repudiate in full.
Cap'n Aux is only our second most attention starved pilot. He is not even close to being number one. Our most attention starved wacko pilot is clearly the former pride of Phoenix, and now Miami, Marcio.
At last week's Crew News meeting at DFW, Marcio was in fine fettle. Three of the ten questions came from him. But to sample the full flavor of his questionable sanity, tune in to the question on A1/A3 travel. As he rambled on through tangent after tangent, it seemed Robert Isom's eyes were going to bug out of his head. At the end, Isom graciously defused the awkward situation with a quip. When it was over, the slack jawed audience had been treated to an unfocused, self aggrandizing example of third world intellectual torpor that lasted five minutes and thirty seconds.
The best part is that the pathetic boob was quite pleased with himself as he sat down. With all the highly qualified candidates out there, how this braying jackass ever became a pilot for a major airline in the United States of America is a national disgrace.
Build the Wall.
