And that stuff is supposed to be “off the record.”

There's articles now floating around about how he told an FA that complained about the older/less reliable planes on the LIM market that they save the "good planes" for the "good customers".

While this may be true, and even smart business, like many things that Parker has said in the past, many/most best go unsaid.
Maybe you'd prefer he blow sunshine up our butts?

That's funny, if you believe that!

They've been saying "Do not share your password! These are internal!" blah, blah, blah for years...since the US Airways days.

They'll never stop doing these. They won't give up the control of information.

I get it ALL THE TIME!! Nothing makes a trip worse than having to listen to someone ramble on about their beliefs that are absolute truths and everyone agrees with!!!

You have no idea the fun you're missing out on. In fact, if I was independently wealthy, I believe I would downbid to FO and spend my days mentally twisting these guys like Hannibal Lector did to his cellmate "Meigs" in the original "Silence of the Lambs".

The "Rapture" guys our my specialty. Listen to them go on and on about how the end times are near and the rapture is near because "God" talked to them.

Let it slide for awhile, maybe 1/2-1hour, then get them talking about their recent 401K gains. They'll be non-stop about how they're kicking arse.

Then hit them with, "Don't you think if the rapture happened soon, St Peter will look at your 401K plan like you've been hedging your bets and send you down to hell?"


Good for a couple of hours of silence until the STAR descent.

I've been thinking about wearing a Hillary shirt underneath my white uniform shirt so you can see it bleed through. Maybe throw some atheist stickers on my "kit bag" too.

Bonus points for a LBGQT or whatever it is rainbow lanyard.

Around 10-15 years ago while, I noticed the crew cut #1 FA with George Bush political buttons displayed on his luggage.

Smart, well informed guy. When I commented about how few friends he must have on each leg, he replied with a chit eating grin with the statement, "You have no idea how much fun I have every leg".

Probably like clubbing baby Harp seals.
