I didn't do so good. I think I need some recurrent training. Anybody got the phone#. You got a 7.5 YVINTERN. Impressive. You will make captain in no time. Psst.....About your question. My son says that Oxy 10 works best.

Kiss my smooty! Why don't you go ahead and retire so I can just jump up one number on the seniority list :) Heck I'd even buy you an ice cream sundae that I stole off an United flight ;)
 
Now easy YV don't get your feathers ruffled. You must keep your sense of humor if you expect to survive in this industry. Wish I could retire but I have at least 20 more years to go. If my tired OLD body stays together. I will take that ice cream sundae though.

Rule number x (I lost count...) When on the ramp, you see a catering truck for another airline unattended...take said ice cream sundaes and eat it fast enough to get a brain freeze or an aneurysm without anyone watching!

Wrong thread but ;)

The really important question is

Who cares anymore

You
Me
The people we work with
No one
Hello DOG...That's a very humbling remark. I had to think about it for awhile. It's true
that both the east and the west have had the care beaten out of them over the last 10
or 12 years. Probably although I can't speak for them the east has lost more. Also the east
has stuck around in much higher numbers than the west . Except for mabey the pilots and
FAs the west is a very transitory workforce, so they dont seem to care about bigger issues.

But your post made me ask myself ; Do I care? I'll just have to keep checking that out. I know
one thing though, when I do have some care the job goes 10 times better. Thanks for your comment....BF
