We used to get that at NWA. The load data page on the acars had a breakdown of infants/px/crew. Most of us would write that number on the copy of the release that we had clipped on our yoke so we would have the souls on board readily available in case of emergency. Wether or not I have a copy of the release or a piece of scratch paper is irrelavant, my point is that the total body count was there...

Nice job USA.
It was a good draw for us. Sloppily played by the USA. There were far too many misplayed through-balls, poor diagonal runs, and weak shots on goal. The goal by Dempsey had no right going in; when you're in form, thought, it just happens sometimes. However, Jozy Altidore's breathtaking run in space should have been a goal. So I'm happy with a draw.

Nearly wet myself when Howard went down. Without him, the US is cooked.

BTW, if anyone is looking for a US soccer bar in MSP, the new Kieran's at Block E is fantastic. I'll be there for the next two games (9am, but what the heck, right?).

Maybe we should just keep asking how many laps or actual counts there are everytime the gate agent tells us the count then eventually the word will spread and maybe one more line will be added to the awabs.

The only way you will find yourself working on a vacation day is if they roll your days into your vacation or you pick up the phone for an IA call. You can't pick anything up yourself during your vacation.

It just shows that our pilots will screw over anyone if it benefits us.

You are. Quit identifying YOUR pilot group with that scumbag. He is not among our group anymore, and should not be identified with us.

Here is something light hearted for the evening, the worlds largest X-ray image ever taken.



Source:
They were all created by British photographer and film-maker Nick Veasey.

The amazing image of the 777 jumbo jet is said to be the largest X-ray ever.

It took six months to achieve at Boeing's HQ in Seattle.
