I blame you for the following youtube link



SING IT! SING IT WITH ME! PURPLE RAIN, PURPLE RAIN! PURPLE RAIN PURPLE RAIN! ONLY WANT TO SEE YOU STANDING IN THE PURPLE RAIN!

:D

Sounds like 80's got 99 problems. But, if he get's the 6th and 7th off, um…. he will be fine. :D

Better get the 5th off, too! That's my son's one year bday party. Nobody's happy if mama ain't happy. (my son doesn't care- my cell phone or a dog toy on the floor and that might as well be a million dollars suddenly in his reach)

I'm flying with an AU guy this trip. We've been eyeing each other suspiciously the entire time. I DONT TRUST HIM.

Now Purple Rain is stuck in my head. I hate you ftb.

Generally I was impressed! Plane seemed much more stable about the pitch axis than the 800, and seemed very "smooth" to fly. Hand flew it a lot, liked it. The roll trim and rudder trim were spot on, no need to mess with those at all. Power at TO seemed decent, and we did both 5 and 1 flaps TOs. I was gonna post my "Pitch Awareness Report" from my first TO, 2.03 pitch rate lol... guess that dang report did me some good!

Airco seemed to hold temps better than the 800, I was able to quickly set (there were already FO temp cheater lines penciled in!) and forget. And it appears there is not a cold spot at row 10 anymore, it has moved aft to around row 17 which makes some sense.

Luggage in cockpit-- seemed the height of the luggage spot was and inch more, maybe, we had no issue rolling two in there. However, I would NOT want to put my bag in that closet behind first class we're supposed to, as a commuter!

Landed decently, I ran the power a bit longer than I might as I didn't want to be the first scrapee. Working the new FMS panel with VNAV button and Fix moved, and no climb/cruise/descent buttons, was a pain at first, but should get used to it.

Flight att told me the aisle was narrower, and harder to roll your bag down, I didn't try though. And they were telling customers the new bins didn't hold as much, which isn't how I understand it, but they were ready to start checking bags at 50% full as they thought the bins were smaller (first time for them too).

In all, though I didn't like flying halfway across the country at 300, it seemed like a nice plane.

That's crazy. If the bags are placed on their sides, not on their bottoms, we can get another 25-40 bags on board than before with the previous bins. Clearly not being communicated.

Once I see GEG added, then I'll know we are going directly after Alaska. That's a milk run for AS but GEG doesn't have hardly any incremental international feed, which is what we're generally doing in SEA. The old Orient guys will remember the 7x daily GEG-SEA back in the day with 3 DC-10-40's running.

on that note let's celebrate 80s birthday by remembering this hit that came out the same year he was born,



remember if this song gets in your head, vote no to FSU.

I'm still kinda mad about this ... this was the turning point of "image over quality" in the music business.

A couple of lipsync'n print models voiced by moonlighting Disney vocalists beat Emily Saliers and Amy Ray out of their "Best New Artist" Grammy. Might as well have given the Grammy to "Simba, The Lion King" because, damn, his songs sound just like Elton John.

Tried to find a good period clip from the day on Letterman or Leno, but you can tell Emily is scared to death in that format. Remember, these girls had been playing the streetcorners around Little Five Points and Decatur not 18 months before. Amy is the honey badger of live performance ... she don't care. So, aside from the fact this whole song is E and open A ... at least Emily put some cool rifs on it.

Oh, and if your looking for a really yummy breakfast, try the Candler Park location of the Flying Biscuit Cafe. Emily always loved to cook and used to have some great after parties. Her hobby gave birth to that restaurant.

Anyway, the Grammy for "Best Folk Artist" should be renamed the "Jackson Brown award for best obscure performance that nobody outside of a small, but enthusiastic, fan base gets."


Not that I'm completely against image over substance ... I just don't want it in my ears.

Look at the URL and remove the "14" after the month abbreviation and hit ENTER (i.e. if you see JAN14 in the URL, change it to JAN).

Do this after you have clicked on the X for your position and gotten the stupid password authentication thingy.

Can this only be done from the Crew Room?
