You've got to learn the duck walk. Lower your hips and CG, shuffle your feet with a wide stance. Don't pick your feet up off the ground - like working on a crab boat. Stop wearing shoes with tassels and as previously said, never put your hands in your pockets.

I'm a big fan of the No PA before, during and after as well. Alaska Airlines simply hammers our passengers with noise. Yap, Yap, Yap from gate to gate, and heaven help you if you have a F/A who loves to sell Visa's.

I will represent the angry, gun toting, meat eating guys - and offer my passengers peace and quiet. I know there are many passengers back there who think as I do and plead for the love of all that is holy for our F/A's and pilots to please shut up!
