Got picked up by an Uber driver at DAL in a Mercedes. Was in uniform. Talked about baseball, guns (he had a shooting bag in the car), and small talk. Aviation came up. I could tell by the questions he was asking that he knew a lot but I wasn’t sure how. Drops me off and I ask, “I gotta know. Are you an air traffic controller?” Response - “Nope. A retired 787 captain...” Well okay then. So there’s always Uber
