I think we actually came to a consensus on Part 91, find some gullible young CP to give tacit approval (in writing) and then blame him if somebody gets upset.

But Bobby Lee (like many others) was psychologically unprepared for Minnesota winters. Yeah, he knew it would be cool to upgrade, but this cool?

Not so much. That's a might chill for a LAX guy.

Of course, it's gonna be a lot colder in about twelve hours....

At first I was excited.. On the descent into MSP I saw all the snow and quietly hummed to myself "It's beginning... to look...a lot like chrisstttmmaaass." Then -SMACK- I walked into the jet bridge and it only got worse from there.. Upgrading in the winter was the worse mistake I made this year after buying my wife (who is a phenomenal baker) a KitchenAid.. If there was ever any hope of weight loss, it's gone now..

Have you tried the fried cheese curds and jam?

They'll add a few knots to your approach speed for your first captain landing on runway 8 at KBUR.

I'd like to pass my medical, but much like a military PT test, I will do what I want until a couple weeks before. Furthermore, that snack basket stands no chance once I get on the line.

In no way am I excited about the below freezing temps I am about to endure. Sleeping on ice with the A/C down should help me prepare.
