A lot of people junior to me are going ahead of me to 717 training. Evidently I was supposed to go next month so they dropped me from CQ on the 88 because before I dequaled in July I'd be in 71 training.

Except somewhere they changed their minds and pushed me back to who knows when. But they forgot the CQ. But since the computer didn't recognize me as going it didn't accept my bid. I called and asked what the plan was and they said whoops. So I got CQ now again but its one I never would have bid for on days I'd never want it.

I guess they panicked about the 88 so they're delaying us and sending junior pilots. Oh well.

As one SLI told me, if we ran flight ops like a lot of departments are run around Delta there would be dead bodies and metal spread all over the countryside. :D

Even though this was not directed at me, I feel I have some valuable input. Although not specifically swamp croatch it's close cousin sweaty balls has its own challenges. According to the American journal of medicine sweaty balls and its close cousin swamp crotch can have there symptom's minimized by regular use of "gold bond" in the summer months. Gold bond will help minimize that not so fresh feeling many pilots suffer from the dc-9 to the md-88.

Also, one side benefit to the use of gold bond is the bonus of random tingles that spontaneously provide your sac that afternoon pick-me-up to help you gut through your 4th and 5th legs.

You trying to get people to bid into, or out of, the maddogs?

You'd also be surprised how refreshing an O2 mask can be when strategically placed and put on 100%.
;)

Careful Buzz.
Hopefully, only Mrs. Timbo can say that. :D:eek:

While driving in a car...

Daughter: Mom, you ever have that, you know, not so fresh feeling?

Mom: Want me to roll down the window?




While taxing out...

FO: Hey Captain, you ever have, you know, that not so fresh feeling?

Captain Vik: Like what? MD-88 swamp crotch?

First Officer: Yeah.

Captain Vik: Well, of course I do, and that is why i use Gold Bond. But what you have is not specifically 88 swamp croatch but rather its close cousin 88 sweaty balls which has its own challenges. According to the American journal of medicine sweaty balls and its close cousin swamp crotch can have there symptom's minimized by regular use of "gold bond" in the summer months. Gold bond will help minimize that not so fresh feeling many pilots suffer from the dc-9 to the md-88.

Also, one side benefit to the use of gold bond is the bonus of random tingles that spontaneously provide your sac that afternoon pick-me-up to help you gut through your 4th and 5th legs.

First Officer: Oh thanks Captain!

Jumpseater from the A330: What the [radio edit]?!?

Please tell us you are a Captain

That's a trick question. Most are MDed to the MD88/90.

Now I am going to double down on my focus to reassure that the O2 mask gets a double sanitizer wipe.

Really?

After reading that post I was going to get fitted for a catheter and coloscopy bag. Darn the other FO's hate it when that bag gets left on he flight deck.
