Ya know, your trips don't get shortened by being returned to MEM if you only fly out-n-backs.

I still can't figure out how guys do that. I say guys because I kind of doubt that any of the gals would even think about doing it. Two shirts on a ten day 13 leg trip? I drool and slober so much when I'm tired that it just wouldn't work. And I'm tired all of the time on a normal trip. Except when it's time for happy hour.

First, don't do 10 day 13 legs trips!

Second, plan accordingly. DEL gives you a voucher for laundry at the Sheraton (not dry cleaning). Subic is.......... well Subic! Cheapest laundry in the system!

3rd, if she's hot, hairy pits are OK.

Think again...flew with a gal for 7 days (3 legs each day)...same outfit (and backpack) entire trip, it distracted me from how bad a pilot she was.

Discuss....
Sorry to interrupt this discussion, but I heard from a guy that all of these management types were not invited to continue in their current positions. I understand that these individuals were made to return to the line.

Now that that juicy rumor is out of the way, let's get back to the Crow discussion. I don't think anyone should poo-poo the possibility that Sheryl dropped to number two in Lance's heart due to her falling behind in her paperwork.

Uhhh...sorry. I couldn't resist.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "one square" is used to clean your finger, right?

A gal with 3 legs, that would make her, uh, not a gal!
