A friend sent me this. Thought it was pretty funny, but probably has been posted plenty of times before...

Based on my recent experience your answer is yes. A message was left that identified them as a SWA CP and a phone # to call back.

One of the hazards of our job...sometimes completely unavailable until we land.

Training at the regionals was better as sad as that may be.

For the first time in APC history I actually agree with your post! Wow, what is the world coming to.
On second thought, I might have to disagree -- you said it could be pared down a week -- I'd have to go with a 2 week reduction if they got rid of the ra ra and the wasted training days. Cheers.
