So as for exploits being boasted about by former military pilots??? Let them boast... What's the big deal. At the end of the day... many passengers are not on the edge of their seats nor listening with bated breath, but listening to music or watching TV on their mobile phones or tablets.

These fine men and woman who have sacrificed so much and served so gallantly DO have the right to be proud of their fine service records and relate their daring deeds defending our freedoms that we enjoy today.
