You mean these "hot chicks" who will give you pleasure?

 

OUTSTANDING!!!!! I'll have to remember that one for future use. That is priceless. More often than not, I find myself sitting in the van wishing for peace and quiet as opposed to incessant babbling of the FAs lately.

 

Thx Acl keep us informed

 

Fair enough. It would be foolish to pretend there aren't cultural differences between the groups. You can't deal with what you don't bother to understand (I mean a hypothetical "you", not Keenster). You can't work together without respect, and you can't respect someone you don't know. For this reason, I think the histories of the two groups are more than just interesting conversation.

With that said, I think cultural differences are directly related to one's environment. Deep down, I think most of us would behave the same way, under the same set of circumstances. This isn't just true for our two groups, but in the larger sense as well. Environments create cultures. I think there have been enough books written on that topic, so I'll dispense with any further lecture.

...So now that we're stuck together in a new (common) environment, we need to make something of it. In that context, I only look at behaviors that unite, and behaviors that divide. Those that make us go forward, and those that make us go backwards. I'm only interested in ideas and strategies.

So, I consider debates about who is going to be more effective, more militant, etc, just as useful as the military-vs.-civilian debate, i.e. not at all. Now, discussions about how things were in the military: fascinating. Debates: useless. I really enjoy asking the people I fly with about their former lives, but the conversation won't go well if the first question is "did you figure it out yet?".

Now, I'm not saying this is where you were going. I understand the militant issue was only tangential to your response to Satchip. So this isn't some sort of big personal issue: I'm just pointing out that the notion of this "South" group not being militant, while it's becoming so entrenched that it just rolls off the tongue, is actually a) incorrect, and b) not helpful. And I think I read in your post that you're not trying to articulate that point, so I can only agree with what you wrote.

 

This is how our old 200's are ending up. Ship#375 for those of us who have flown it...

KATL: Rain and snow in the morning...then rain and snow likely in the afternoon. Windy. Snow accumulation up to 1 inch. Highs in the upper 30s. North winds 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

I have short call tomorrow. I'm going to rename it FUN CALL.

 

Bummer. I commuted on the 732 a lot, I liked that plane. I mean that was prior to the MD-88 when I was young and just loved new technology (the 88 beat me into submission ), but the 732 was just cool. I wish we still had them.

Are those ^^^ the human eating lizards made to look like women from V?

 

It is 50 outside right now and I am going to go cut some brush in my back yard. That is the nice thing about being down South, the winter weather lasts a day not a season or two!

Rhetorical, I know but;

Is the comment period over?
