I've got one. Carl drops a rare if ever Carl rumor about the 744 rumor on us. sailing doesn't it think its a good idea especially since the Whale is cool and its better than waiting for 77Ws that could be a ways off.
but what about the Dalpa guys, no condemnation of Carl's rumor?
Now we know that Airbus and Boeing were bidding for some Delta business and it was supposed to include taking more CRJs off our hands. We also know Boeing is struggling selling 748s but the 77W is going gangbusters.
What if the deal is Boeing will get some 748 orders from some 744 operators, we will take the 744s off their hands, win for Boeing, and in doing so we have the freedom to do a small Airbus order with CRJ take back. so everybody gets something and doors stay open.
Feel free to agree with my mental gymnastics or I'll post that picture of 80 again.

I agree with your mental gymnastics. Please no more 80 pics.

The catch? They are 747-400 BCF'S. I cannot see Delta wanting anything to do with 11 used freighters

The lanyard is interesting, because it sends the message, but deprives the guy of actually saying "Academy" in one of the first two sentences when he meets you.
Look for other buzzwords/key phrases during the initial contact:
"I do everything by the book" (he won't),
"...your flying background?" (won't be good enough),
a military rank (yours must be lower, or he'll have to justify his),
"...a lot of experience..." (ruining lives)
"A lot of guys..." (are taller than him),
Any combinations of words that takes more than about 2 minutes to deliver,
Any speech ending in "...but let's have a lot of fun on this trip" (trying to convince himself; while you're already plotting your sick call),
"I'm going to let you..." (fight the urge to strangle him, constantly),
"I'd like to think that I..." (trying to convince you),
"Because I'm a nice guy..." (fully yielding to delusion),
"...called out sick on me, which is weird because I'm a great guy to fly with!" (delusional AND insecure).
One point each, three points total to make a complete tool.
