Trashhauler..

Either you're shining people on or you really haven't done any research over there where the grass is supposedly greener. But you'll make a lot of junior fo's happy here if you bail to fredex. And maybe you'll be able to fly with the gal with the sock puppet over there..she sounds like a hoot.

Remember, the grass is always greener over the septic tank <BG>

There are many versions, but the basic story is she would pull out this sock puppet and would talk to it in the cockpit. Supposedly she did this during an FAA observed sim check following an incident in Europe and thas when she left. Medical, Disability or fired I do not know. She may have been trying to pull a section 8 like Klinger ? Maybe she is smarter than we all think, but I know she struggled big time through 727 and A300 Captain schools.

I'm wondering what the current junior UPS captains will do when they're displaced to a place like Anchorage. Wish they had bypassed the upgrade?
They will be bidding the 747-400 FO. Read the Contract! One may downbid with any NEW equipment or New domicle.

Many years ago, there was a DAL captain who would issue instructions to the f/o and s/o via a hand puppet called "Freddy the Fox". This became a source of annoyance, and one day Freddy mysteriously disappeared. A photo of Freddy in a noose was posted on a bulletin board. His owner was frantic. A chief pilot eventually put the squeeze on likely suspects and rescued Freddy the Fox, but grounded him.

So that's how they got you to "retire"?
