But I don't need to relate my 40+ years experience to the folks in the back or anyone else for that matter who really don't give a crap. That's what the bar is for after the day of terrifying feats of commercial aviation after shooting a coupled CATIII Autoland Approach. That is of course if anyone cares to listen to the "There I was" stories.
All I was talking about was the ridiculousness of this comment......I think we can all agree.
Everyone knows that no one gives a damn
He [apple pie] on some dude for saying he has respect for military folk, [carrot ginger soup] on "double breasted admirals" for talking about how awesome they are, and then told us that he has done "a wee bit more exciting flying on 6 continents" then military folk in the same breath.
The jump to disrespect for civilian flying (which I am exclusively a part of now) is your problem, I fail to connect those dots. But then again I am pretty stupid.
Let us not forget that captain crazy pants went on a rant for an event THAT DIDNT [fried okra]ING HAPPEN AND WAS A PRANK ON GUARD!
sweet 8lb baby jesus
