Thanks for that C, it was great, but now I feel really, really old! When my Rock Gods are pushing 70, well...where is the next generation of Super Bands?
Where is the next Led Zep?
Justin Beiber?
Spare me...
We all know Jimmy Page could shred on electric but my favorites were his acoustic stuff, like this:

I still find myself singing "Going to California" every time I fly from ATL to LAX.
"Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same..."
Here's the lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1T_jCtKnaI

The BBC sessions is a must have for any Zep fan. Crank it up, grab your mind numbing substance of choice turn out the lights and it almost feels as if you're in the room with them.

That would be great. New hires... would be a breath of fresh air here, and long overdue. If they pass the interview and make it to Delta, I don't care where in the USA they come from...

ATC can never "put" you in a storm. You can willingly fly into one, but they can't put you into one. I've declared an emergency, ignored an ATC clearance, and flew around weather as I saw fit at least a half dozen times in my career.
Nobody likes declaring an emergency, but you have the authority...and you must use it. Another great lesson for us because it didn't cost lives.

JetBlue: Salt Lake Center JetBlue XXX.
SLC Center: JetBlue XXX, Salt Lake Center go ahead.
JetBlue: We see that WX up ahead. How have most been deviating around that?
SLC Center: Most have been going south of it.
JetBlue: Soooooooo.......then maybe about a 130 heading......or direct XYZ? Do you think that'll work?
I already told my CA my plan to go around the WX before this. After hearing this he said "I really don't care how you go just as long as you don't ask ATC what to do."
