Ooh, I'll go first!

1- What is the coolest flight number? - Whatever one I'm using

2- Which pen is the most professional? - Whichever one's in my pocket

3- Which pilot is the greatest? - ME!

Not true I often tell passengers that the taxiing around the airport is one of the least safe places to be. You just never know when some big Delta jet is going to land on a taxiway!

My answers:

1. Coolest flight number - 69 (of course)
Worst I ever had was 666 (don't even know why the airline uses that one!)

2. The Marriott hotel pen far out performs the Holiday Inn pen

3. Everyone knows it's Sully! Just ask the media!

HAHA! LMAO! Heehee (still giggling!)

I think he meant the safest plane is one that is in a hangar with the engines off.

I'll go with the 757. I can't think of one crash that aircraft has ever had that was due to some mechanical problem or design fault. Same goes for the EMB-145. And those are flown by 'regional pilots' with many more cycles per day than a 757.
