Or pop it up for a can of corn with another landing on a taxiway dig. Or even bunt it and hope you get lucky running it out with a Captain Happy reference. That at least sometimes works. Just don't hit one into the gap talking about our old DC-9-10's or into the stands with an apropos JV reference. Alaska was a fast baserunner but fortunately coach Brad told them to take way to big a lead and we picked them off.

Wait, I just found out we don't require a PhD in microbiology either. So much for standards.

You left out my personal favorite: Delta Pilots don’t make eye contact in the airport. I try to nod, wave, acknowledge every Pilot I see in the airport. About 50% don’t respond so not making eye contact is not a Delta “thing” I think it is more of a Pilot or perhaps societal “thing.”
