I wonder how many of those are the "I'll go to the 717 if I'm in the top 10%."

I'll bid the 717, but if I can move up on the 88 ill take that with its higher pay. Plus, if i stick around and we get the new cockpits I get to see an 88 shoot a curved approach intentionally.

Sex doesn't sell does it? Don't bait and switch me to a granny. I paid good money for this ticket.

I'm still very fond of girls on trampolines.

Hey - no blondes? I feel a discrimination lawsuit is appropriate!

I think we have a high, very high, chance of seeing a video of fellow employees doing the Harlem Shake. If I'm right, it may be as bad as seeing a JFK inflight crew with 20 years at Pan Am dressed like the girls you posted. :D

With our gals it would be more like a Harlem break-a-hip:)

There is no such thing as "separation of church and state". Those words don't appear anywhere in our constitution. This is what actually is in our constitution's first amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

That's funny. My accountant said I didn't make any money this year!?

If they're breaking the law, the IRS can always hit them up for taxes or nail them for fraud.

Stereotype much?

I guess the church where my wife works and we attend is just trying to steal money? How about my dad, preacher for near 45 years, 30 year Navy Chaplain, stealing money? Just curious.

No, they're not. Same reason that the ACLU, Media Matters, Ford Foundation, any number of other "community" service organizations are tax exempt also. Churches are "not for profit." Ergo, they are tax exempt.

Poor attempt at changing the subject sailingfun and quite typical of the far left. You weren't attempting humor, you were attempting to belittle Buzz's factual post through condescension. Churches (even TV churches) are non-profits as Buzz correctly states. When one is found to be in the profit making business, they immediately lose exempt status and the leaders can go to jail.

What direction would you like to divert this debate next?

Btw, if you're ever rich enough to own a corporate jet, pay for everything on your black amex and fly around on Delta for free! :D

Discrimination based on what?

old age?

Trailer park inhabitants?

Swedish bikini teams?

I discriminated when I bought my tacoma.

Now if you buy a ticket on them and your flight attendants are gay, fat, or old, is that false advetising?

Hey Scambo - I'm simply partial to blondes. ;)
