True...although ALPA monitors and aggressively responds to what goes on here, so something must be hitting a nerve.

I was browsing the thread in the MSP lounge and Gloopy spotted me. He asked who I was, I told him and we "recognized" each other's screen names. I've met a few of the guys here, whether on overnights or in the lounge. (usually the guy said he was overnighting on FB and we made contact that way).

Everyone I've run into has been great to talk to, and we've had some great discussions.

I think we should all bid one airplane in one base. That way, we can always fly with great people and have something to talk about!

I don't know if they ever get a wash other than a heavy maintenance visit.

Delta has a wash program for all of their jets. I do not know what the frequency is, but there is such a program.

Carl I have a pool and a pond out back. Pond might be good for you! I guess I cannot complain how dirty the planes are... The last flew guys I have flown with have far dirtier minds. God bless them, it's been a fun month of flying.
BTW nice of you to post a picture of your wife.
