What about using KCM if you're nonreving in uniform to attend a funeral? Grey area for sure.

Attending a funeral in an airline pilot uniform, though.... No grey area there at all...

The more I think about it, we should just go to BRU and visit Paris for 2 or 3 days.

A 12 hour flight in coach spent diving under the seat in front of us to retrieve a binky...sweeping it backward with the safety card and putting it back in her mouth...trying to set a good example and keep my seatbelt on even as I wonder if they forgot to turn it off
Yes, I'm going from Paris to Brussels back to Paris.... Texas. And only for the afternoon. And even that's probably not going to happen.

BTW, I love trying to reach behind my seat while I'm driving a car as my daughter wants me to get the tiny box of raisins she dropped. As my fingers search blindly for it she keeps saying "right there, it's right there, dada... it's right there."

I live with a tiny comedian.

It's easier for him to say that then to say his management has been an abboration. The way their running the pilot situation alone sets the standard for how not to do things. They'll be bad blood there for a long time. So glad to be here!

We're all sinners, but not for the reasons you think, according to environmentalists:

The Biggest Carbon Sin - Air Travel - NYTimes.com
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/su...ir-travel.html

The only solution is for carbon-based life-forms to stop breathing, then all would be well.

I wonder how often the writer of this article travels by air?

You're too kind. My wife would say you're not right. She laughs at what my daughter says but not what I say. At least not yet, I haven't tried the inappropriate humor route.

Is this enforced? I didn't even know it was a rule.

Yes, this is strictly enforced, by Delta's Uniform Nazi's! It's a top secret organization made up of retired wide body Captains.


See that van parked across the street from your house?

That's not the cable company...

I've said too much, they'll be here soon, I have to go, NOW.

I did several NBA charters, & I did not see one player wear a suit. Most were wearing boderline pajamas. Maybe it depends on the team?

I don't really see how it could be. Now if you draw attention to yourself and create an incident, then someone may find out.
