No it's not. We have a pilot being sued. He is defending himself out of his own pocket. We are not trained to push a wheelchair. Our company is refusing to help him.

Why would an intl' captain sue his f/o?

But if we didn't do everyone else's job this airline wouldn't function.

I thought I'd make nice, "so where you headed today?" Dude looks at me, looks away. Didn't even respond. Sweet. I think I was interrupting his train of thought on how good he looks in uniform at a Frys. I mean I'd never seen a Delta uniform look so metro until that day.

You should have asked him what his route was and if ever gets scared up there!

You should have asked him if he was currently getting 8 hours uninterrupted sleep, and didn't have time to remove his uniform.

I'll nominate myself for TOTD for this. I accept it. It is who I am. But, it's a funny story:


I commuted for a bit after I got hired, and to save on parking (this was pre-merger), my gf at the time (now wife) would drop me off and pick me up at DTW.

Well, she needed to stop by Meijer on the way home, it was cold as crap, so I kept on the double breasted sub commander jacket for the shopping spree (no hat, I'm not that much of a tool). I'd strolled around in my 9E uniform a few times before on the way home, so I figured no big deal, nobody cares nor ever mentioned it. I'm going home from work and that's my suit.

I kid you not, some retired Navy guy stood to attention and saluted me, then started telling me about his ship and asking me about my command.

Never again....

Thanks newK! Been a fan ever since I was a senior in high school! (Seattle was an expansion team that year).

I was at my favorite watering hole and the place went freaking wild!

Go Hawks!
