Speaking of comedians, I happened to catch Dave Landau doing stand up on an overnight a couple months back. He’s from Detroit originally and makes a lot of jokes about Spirit…. and they are hilarious. If you can’t laugh at yourselves sometimes, what’s the point.
Anyways after the show he was having a smoke and selling some merch. I walked up and got in his face (dude is like 5’4) and said I was sent from the Spirit pilots union to f*ck him up for talking sh*t about us so often. He freaked for a second and then called my bluff and we had a good laugh. He was super cool and we swapped stories about the crazy stuff we’ve seen on board. He even gave me a whole bunch of signed stickers, so if you’re a fan and see one on my pilot kit, ask me for one.
