Let's get some accurate variety in turbulence reporting. For goodness sake, Delta prides themselves on being the best, show it by using terminology out of the AIM.

I'm assuming the interview didn't go too well. Either time.

Assume away. That always works well.
You know things are good in the industry when this is a point of contention over memorial day weekend...
Light chop police are recruiting from guard police apparently.
