I was thinking about my 430am wake up, crappy hotel, 5 hour sit, living out of luggage like a Gypsy, working weekends and holidays and the joke of an outfit (with a union) that I work for and decided to proudly have a beer in uniform today after my last leg (I did remove the made in China zip-up-tie and shiny plastic alloy wings from the make believe left pocket of course). It tasted really good and I've also decided to grow a beard. So far this month scratch lottery tickets have provided more than my paycheck. Good thing I went to college and have a business degree to fall back on. It seems like most guys that stay with this for awhile do so because they have railroaded themselves into it and have never developed any useful business skills. Also, the world will not end in 2012 as the Mayans predicted. It will end when Tony Romo says so.

Seems to me that the title of this thread should be "I had a beer today...and then tried really hard not to let the tears from my broken dreams fall into it". Boohoo guy. Sounds like you are not 100% sure you did the right thing. Sorry you went to a crap company (assumption) but you made your bed, lie in it.

Best beer WAS
Coors when it had to be "imported" from Mexico to South Carolina and cost the unheard of price of $5.45/six pack in 1981. That was the smoothest, sweetest nectar at the time. I'm sure being slight south of the legal drinkin' age added to it's awesomeness.
You'd think being under age any beer would be best , but this stands out in my pickling memory.
By the same token, underage, we actually threw out Busch, and some mule pi$$ that the base PX had for $12/case.
Stay thirsty my friends.................

At least in a 150, you can take with the doors off.
