Wink Just pulled this off airline site....funny

Saw this...thought it was funny

Scene from "A Few Good Freight Dogs"

Captain: "You want answers?"

Crew Scheduling: "I think we are entitled!"

Captain: "You want answers?!"

Crew Scheduling: "I want the truth!"

Captain: "You can't handle the truth!!! We live in a world that requires revenue. That revenue must be flown by people with elite skills. Who's going to do it? You, Mr. Finance? You, Mr. Operations? You, Mr. President? We have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You scoff at the Flight Division and you curse our mediocre incentives. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know. And my very existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, drives REVENUE! You don't want to know the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about that at staff meetings ... you want me in that Airplane. You NEED me in that Airplane!! We use words like working radar, good weather, on time departures, airworthy safe airplanes, first-class upgrades, another round, medium-rare, on-the-rocks, otra cerveza por favor. We use these words as the backbone of all Night Freight. You use them as a punch line! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to people who rise and sleep under the very blanket of service I provide and then question the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a flight bag. Either way, I don't give a dang what you think you're entitled to!"

Crew Scheduling: "Did you expense the lap dancers?"

Captain: "I did the job I was hired to do."

Crew Scheduling: "Did you expense the lap dancers?!"

Captain: "You're @#%$ right I did!"
