FTB you amaze me! You quote songs you've only heard on XM Classic Vinyl, Bible verses proving that heaven is truly located in Tuscaloosa, and complex charts of economic trend data. You can't be an Auburn grad.

For our senior bretheren, let me leave you with a quote from the Buddha:

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Buddha

To reach total consciousness, one has to be paid the longest, not the most.

For our angry brothers to the North,
A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
Buddha

and

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha

And for those who want every thing 2012 or else,

A jug fills drop by drop.
Buddha

I've never understood why you guys call yourselves Vipers instead of Fighting Falcons, the official name of the F-16.

It's a safety issue for them

This Israeli-Palestinian, Cowboys-Indians thing is fun, no?

This thread has lost some of its entertainment value.
I miss college football.
Baseball season is here and that's a good thing. But its just not the same.
Something's missing. What could it be?






GO BEAVERS !

I got to fly an N Model once. Great airplane, but like a lot of aircraft, they did have some growing pains.

They also list 744SFs, whats an SF?

FTB useless information.
I don't know what SF is, but AMR used to have a couple of SP's They were the little short versions. My guess: SP Special Passenger model and SF Special Freight model. Just a guess though.

Bill Brown was much more... shall we say... "compliant".
I flew with Bob a couple of times to Brazil. He was definitely set up. Bill Brown sold us out.

When Harry was traveling, he loved to come down early to the cockpit to chat with us. He always looked up the pilot's names before he came down and then addressed us by our names. A neat little trick. One time he was headed down the jet way and one of our FA's stopped him and said,"Sir, may I see some ID?" His response was, "Miss do you know who I am?" She quickly responded, "NO, I know who you look like. Now lets see some ID." True story.

I believe Harry was the one who coined the infamous phrase, "This acquisition [Pan Am] is the most highly researched acquisition in airline history." He did get canned for not playing ball, but he also took the money and ran. He was not well liked by the pilot group.

Check gets 10 points.

In ATL right now there are clouds of pollen roaming around like sand storms in the desert. Its rather painful for those of us not born and raised in dixie.

Its interesting how they build SC's, it must be scheduler dependent. Today, the PM SC was 0930-2130 and just about everyone got SC and a lot of doubling of SC. Some days its just 1 pilot per slot. Hopefully they won't need SC folks later tonight, they won't have any.
