There's a picture of her standing proudly next to Ted Cruz, who probably has the worst record in Congress on womens' issues. She sold out bigly.

It's been said that everyone has a price at which they abandon their principles. I guess her price was just a chance at two more years as a widebody captain.
I flew with her during one of the worst Covid months and spent the trip worrying about how long my emergency fund would last after furlough while she told me how her and her bank VP husband were just crushing it. She was definitely looking out for #1 at all times.

He was...until he wasn't.

Sorry, but I'm gonna spike the football REAL hard (harder than Uncle Rico threw it over them mountains) right now. The pilots who started this whole slimy movement are an effing disgrace and I laugh, yes laugh, at the money they ****ed away to a Venmo account and to an attorney's wallet.

Long live the Nick Bradshaw psyop!

That's easily a $1 million plus. That's a real value. People abandon their principles for free every day.

Except it was never hers to have in the first place, and now it definitely won't be. Too bad, not sad.

confirming you will retire at 65 even if the age limit gets raised in the future. Correct?

If I don't retire before 65 I have failed.

This is the way. 65 is the absolute limit and I refuse to go that far. 62/63 at the very worst.

Whenever there’s a pile on upon someone who tried, and failed at something (be it noble or nefarious), I’m reminded of T Roosevelt’s speech

“The Man in the Arena”.

I’ve never spoken before a Congressional panel. (I damn near begged to pre Part 117 rest rules)

Have you?
