Ok, thanks for the explanation. Apparently knowing what a CV is just one more level in the process of elimination in getting a job at Spirit! Consider me filtered out! 3,000 + resumes? Wow.

Station manager at ORD claims workers are back finishing the space we leased. May become a base this fall. Will see I guess.

Most is not enough. I was just listening to one of the line check guys in the crew room ranting about this very topic. I won't say who it was but he is one of the sharp ones for sure.

I let the plane roll whenever I can. But until it becomes a read file or bulletin I will not brief or performe it with a check airmen or the FAA in the seat.

Default Sagging Pants.

I was told point blank that wearing sagging pants was the way an inmate advertised that he was available for sex.

I think the vast majority of the folks wearing their pants this way would pull em up if they knew this. Or are too ignorant to read and or research the reason for sagging pants.

The others, of course, would keep them down, get caught by the police because they can't run, and end up, well, in prison where they would learn, too late, that wearing your pants this way has some real consequences.

Maybe it's just the end of NK as we know it, and the conspiracy theorists about ALL negative that we work with will be opening a bottle of bubbly soon enough.

Got to go fly....
