This I can get onboard with! “Ladies and Gentlemen we’ll be 20 minutes early today due to a stiff wind from astern and a following sea.”

Nice catch mr. gummed

I had a good chuckle with breeezy's reply. He is a bit naive about the military, so it is somewhat acceptable for him to insert his foot in his mouth on that one.

CEO wears sneakers. Many on the 4th floor sans tie. Hasn’t cheapened their value, just a sign of the times

I'm actually not naive. It's called a joke.

Leather jackets are what old guys wear when they are trying to look cooler, like Tom Cruise in Top Gun. My comment actually had nothing to do with "the military." Bit since you went there, I don't want us looking USAF pilots either.

You obviously didn’t attend a MEC meeting 95-05. The number of reps calling themselves by their call signs and acting like everyday was a O club reunion was amusing.

Not needed. Plenty already talk about "on deck" during the initial descent PA.

Fwiw early airline uniforms and terminology came from the nautical world. Hell, pan am called their captains "masters of ocean going vessels" or some deity thing. Not that I'm in favor of it, but that's the uniform lineage. Same with the sheepskin seats. Back to when it lined the leather jackets of the guys flying the mail. Which northwest did....so I guess neither pre merger outfit was any less "old school."

I wonder if passengers even care. Remember the skybus safari looking uniforms?
