Yes! I made it. It was a cluster at the other gate, but scheduling got me on the flight. I think they ran out of captains this weekend, so it was nice to feel needed.


You guys did a great job. Delta professionalism at its best. With that deep radio voice of yours, I wonder if female controllers ever deny your requests for shortcuts, different altitudes, and closer runways. Hopefully we can fly together, so I can see the smooth talker in action.

Thanks again, Johnson. Nice meeting you!

Yeah, but mines all screwed up. I look at the Reasons and it says my requests were honored. Then I look at my schedule and none of it was honored. I think I'm screwed, my wife's gonna kill me.

Glad you made it. It was good meeting you too! I wish we could've fixed it and gone. I could've used your presence to help me tame that 767 beast. Super tells me it's like Skywalker moving his fighter in the presence of Yoda. The power of the master is present.

Hoping we fly together soon. I've got the first round.

Oh yeah. That's only one point though. For women, everything good is worth one point.

No, sir. You have NO rounds. I've got them all.

Super in the 767 was a sight to see. I tried to video tape it, but when I tried to play it back it was all static.*

*For the Feds and Management: Just kidding. There was no electronic device used by me in flight.

Yes. Its was very hard keeping them away from Super.

"Ladies. Ladies. Please. The man is trying to fly. Give him some room."

Aha, I was the jumpseater on the 135 that bailed when we got back to the gate with mechanical on the 1225. Made it over to BRU and had mussels for dinner.

Ha, I hit my $5000 out of pocket in network max already.

It was $12k for a 2 night stay for one, $15k for a five night stay for the other both viruses. The latter hit his head playing and that was $5k ER visit. Still paying off the $2k bill from last year.

My total hospital bill for FTB since 1999, $150.
