I thought it was funny.

If a pilot has to tell you how good they are------- they usually aren't.

Agreed, especially when it comes to some of our manglers. They may be competent in the sim, where it's a canned environment. Flying the line is a totally different story. Quite scary actually.

Wonder if anyone will manage to get terminated for harassment?

FH, for crying out loud, I guess you'll run to management every time someone calls you an "old fart"? Well.....let me tee off first, "George, you are a cantankerous old fart".

Is this really a bad outfit? Guess I'll have to wear hotel slippers and the bathrobe in my closet for the rest of this layover. Or maybe if I wear black socks....

I've often wondered at what point in your life does the gene kick in to thinks its cool to wear black socks with sandels or tennis shoes and bermuda shorts. .........

If I may suggest, delete your post.

FoxHunter -

I've tried very hard to NOT comment or respond to your posts --- but your logic, analogies, or understanding of where others are coming from, is often so faulty.

The airlie industry is based on seniority. People only agree to join at the bottom because the system is set up to allow them to progress to become senior some day. As you know, that career progression just took a big hit for some...and of course, that is the angle where this good-natured ribbing arose.

The airline system, and pilot progression, has never been based on religeon, gender, race or ethnicity.

Once again --- apples to apples please.

A'o Aloha,
