This is really the best way I’ve ever seen it explained.

Check airman on the triple. ‘For that sat sideways on the convair. ‘For that flew F-4s over Dang Troc in ‘Nam. Live in Peachtree City with my fifth wife Candi (Delta flight attendant) and our golden doodle Woolman. I’m gonna give you a little talk on what we do over in _________ department.”

That's not true...they didn't have Phantoms at Dang Troc, they flew F-105s. F-4s were over at Bang Ding Ow.

13,035 pilots on the latest January seniority list. Includes the 4 Jan class.

If I ever need a quick jolt of good news I love looking at this number getting larger.

Here’s to 2022 suckas!

Well done! That’d be funny if it weren’t so true.
