I get what you are saying, but if all you want to be at a regional is a "line dolt" than that is what you will be. If you want to be a "line dolt" at the majors, you have to stand out.

That's what started the conversation and she said it was sort of an honesty check.

Wow.

Doris has a problem with people that have clean driving records??

I always knew the system was screwed up with the "powers that be" making bad decisions.

I was told (at age 16) that I would have a REALLY hard time getting hired at a major if I had a bad driving record. I was extremely careful and showed up with no tickets.

Now, good old Doris would think that I'm hiding something.
