So maybe because it was an 'in base layover' type thing, (not sure what qualifies for that, my F/O went home!) but they gave it to me.
I did say, "Hey baby, how You doin'" when she picked up the phone, and as she was looking for a room, I followed that up with, "What are you wearing right now? You want to stop by my room tonight when you...get off?"
You gotta give a little if you want to get a little, and if she's not up to your standards...lower your standards! Or just turn off the lights, I've found they all look alike with the lights off.

Really a nice way to travel. I can see why we lose customers to Amtrak on the DC-NYC and NYC-BOS routes.

"The most encouraging news is that, after several months of behind-the-scenes work, KCM site surveys are scheduled at the following eight additional airports:
Denver (DEN)
Las Vegas (LAS)
Salt Lake City (SLC)
Newark (EWR)
JFK New York (JFK)
LaGuardia (LGA)
Washington, D.C. (DCA)
Philadelphia (PHL)
KCM will begin at each airport as soon as its system is ready to become operational, with the first additional sites expected to come online beginning this summer. The KCM program, which has already facilitated more than 500,000 pilot entries through security since August 2011, will add a bar code reader at all locations in the near future. This will further expedite pilots through security."
ALPA emails are about as useful as the USA Today. Hey Known Crewmember is coming!!!

Yup, we are going to OWN NYC!
Oh wait, 'we' don't fly those jets...

He has been doing that off and on for about ten years now, and has done about 12 I think. He is just off Probbie at his job , and he has run the numbers long term and decided he will make more money in the next 10 to 20 years doing that than he will struggleing up through the industry to get to a mainline, and then what make ...100-150k?
Now I know that not every young guy(or girl) coming up has the skill or oppertunity to walk away, but this says volumes about where this profession is at and is headed.
We need to turn this ship around and reverse this trend.
