Might be a learning experience for those who haven't landed at the wrong airport....

Sure.. The cues of an airport with a 12,000 runway are the same as a 6,001' runway, not to mention the aprons
. Sure anyone can make that mistake.
No breadsticks or cognac for the crew

Maybe you should be more concerned about how ol' Lee is gonna explain DPA at the next Exec Board meeting...

I've always called it the "inbred-brother-in-law-training/management-club"
Then there are the union negotiators (they frequently become brother-in-law club members later) that meet with Management at "Prayer Meetings" ... no kidding. Yep, they actually pray that they can agree to a contract with Management? YGTBFKM
