So nice to know I can come here and get a laugh early before dragging myself down to Virginia Ave. for my A period....

You night crew people are too funny!

Follow the money.

I have never known a MEC rep who did not work 10 times harder then any line pilot. I can't even remember how many divorces happened because of MEC reps crazy days away from home and over all schedules not to mention cell phone ringing at least 5 times an hour.. I am amazed anyone even wants the jobs. I would certainly never consider it. Returning the the line is like going on a permanent vacation for many ex reps.

Football is over. Baseball hasn't started. The NBA is boring.
This time of year the best entertainment by far is the Clamp Show on APC.

By the way, I'm leaving Pam Beasley. Switching to Katy Perry.

I am going to raise the BS flag on this. Unfortunately there are many line pilots today that do far more then fly there 13-16 days on the line. A lot of us, especially jr. types have other jobs. Get furloughed for a few years have kids ready to go to college and you will know why.

Now do not get me wrong I think there should be FPL for Reps however I also think I have a right to see where that money goes.

If there is nothing to hide then this should be a non issue

I have knowledge of a secret Air Force project which cost taxpayers over a million dollars. The result of this project was the determination that Montgomery Inn just North of Cincinnati has the best Ribs.

Having spent a little time with a Colonel who flew some of the secret missions and having shared some of the (burp) materials, this conclusions of this research are valid.

The study caused a few people to gain a lot of weight.

Buzz, you are right on the money! I love North Carolina BBQ, and South Carolina mustard Q', I buy Carolina Treet by the case. I love Texas Brisket and California Tri Tip. I have never figured out KC BBQ though, way too much tomato paste and as for eating Q' outside the Mason-Dixon line, I'd rather have a grilled cheese.

Jeesh, without the makeup Katy just looks like the typical kid. I wouldn't give you a flying Vanessa for her.

Couldn't agree more!
