Rumor had it that the Sock Puppet had to do some Extra Sessions during CRM training.

She could take lesson from JJ and just can anyone that laughs at the puppet.

If she flies past age 60, will she have to shift to a Support Hose Puppet?

I want to laugh at your comment, I think, but I can't understand it. Please write in a language that we can interpret.

And before the rest of you go off on P.A., I would like to relate a short story about her. A number of years ago, one of our first officers was having some real health issues, but was out of sick time and had no sick bank to draw from. P.M. stepped up and PDO bumped this guy on a whole week long trip. Twice, within a few months. How many of us would have done that? I think not many. The fact that she's odd as the Mad Hatter, well that's another issue.

But deep down, she's a good person, with a very big heart. Or at least she used to be.

If you laugh at the puppet it may take it as an insult and run to the chief pilot. Get it, or do I have to go back and find your post where you threaten a disrespectful 1st officer with the axe. Your right it is funnnier if you spell it out.

Oh, yeah, now I understand. Nice job. When do you graduate elementary school? Hopefully soon.

And she's not the first to use a hand puppet in the jet. A friend of mine who flies for Delta told me he flew a 3 day pairing with a captain who ran the entire cockpit with a hand puppet named Willie, as in Willie says "Before Start Checklist", and Willie says "After Takeoff Checklist." Part of the 2% rule possibly.
