I must have been taxiing by you the other day because I gave a very enthusiastic Compass wave and it was returned. I only had one Compass crew give me the thousand yard stare. Must have been ex-OO guys? Sorry word302. Tell your peeps to wave more!

I think only our handful of mormon guys say that...seriously I just roll my eyes when there is no fed or LCA in the JS...I also make up excuses of why I can't go out to dinner/beers with said person. Those guys are gonna have a funny wake up when they eventually pass an interview at the majors and the 60+ dinosaur starts talking about his 3 boats as soon as they start taxiing forward. Pointed out Janet on a long LAS taxi...guys looks at me and says sterile. I'm just like well eff me too. Long 4 day. Point is, guys who follow the rules to the T are buzz kills. Yes sterile if we are shooting a CAT II down to mins but leisurely convo on the taxi out? You bet. Stop making this job harder than it has to be. *End Rant*
