Quite honestly wanted to nail the kid in the mouth but what would that do other than teach him humility and get me in the ringer. What I am proud of however, I just let it roll off. I just thought to myself he can't walk to the beach when he's "home in Atlanta."
It's gonna get interesting...
I'll start by saying that I'm over the whole SLI discussion, but I thought this was kind of interesting/funny. I was having some dinner with a couple of guys from my re-qual class at the doubletree last month. Since we are airline pilots, of course hire dates came up in the conversation. At one point one of the guys made a comment about me being senior to him. I explained that no, he was actually senior to me ( me fNWA, hired in late 99, him fDAL early in 01). He acted like I was out of my mind. I explained to him what had happened in the SLI and he was incredulous. I think his quote was "that ain't right." I had to just shake my head and change the subject at that point.
