He was covering all the great history (except a little amnesia from about 1983-1993).
At one point, he couldn't come up with a name and the lead arbitrator said "it wasn't Frank Lorenzo...was it?"
It was so beautiful. The arbitrator was like "dude, you forgot an important part of the history....but WE know about it".
Classic.
I never really understood what the term brain surgeon was referring too until reading this forum and some of the posts by LUAL pilots. Hopefully, the arrogance, pettiness, childishness, and just "holier and better than thou" attitude is reserved for the tools that post here.
It's akin to a 70 year old former beauty pageant winner prancing around taunting and laughing at everyone while she's she herself is a wrinkled old prune.
It's one thing to discuss our opposing views, but the taunting and generally arrogant and disgusting behavior has gone up a few levels the past few days. Hopefully, once the SLI is complete we can all go back to whining about PBS, ALPA, etc and ease up on each other.
