I could probably teach an MBA level class in being a jerk, or as I call it Jerking 101. If you'd like to attend. or just lend a hand, I'd really appreciate it.

I really miss flying with the old guys, one of the few downsides of upgrading. Yes some of them were eccentric, yes some carry their own knee board and checklists but those guys have some funny stories to tell from the old days and it was enjoyable to hear how the company has evolved. Next time an old guy says “pumps on high, descent checklist” just roll your eyes and ask about the old company Christmas parties or smoking cigarettes with Ned in the cockpit.

My favorite story, second hand, was an Ozark pilot on jump. The Jetbridge had been pulled away. Opened the door. 4 foot gap. Throw your bag on board. Jump. Jump, I say. Made it across. Closed the door. Strap in as we are pushing away from the gate. Think ground was too stunned or too embarrassed to say a word. Everyone was laughing.
