We had some a-line the other day that was giving a diamond medallion first class passenger a bunch of crap because he had an extra bag. The bag was a camera bag which he obviously couldn't check. He was a really nice guy so my Captain "took care" of the situation. She was pretty irritated with the Captain for overriding her, but oh well. Sometimes the right decision isn't necessarily the most popular decision!

8 Killed in Cancun Attack
The violence in Mexico escalated Tuesday when eight people - most of them women - were killed in the firebombing of a bar in the tourist mecca of Cancun.
The bar, Castillo de Mar, was several miles from the seaside tourist area and the dead were all Mexican nationals, officials said.
However, such violence in Cancun could badly hurt Mexico's tourist industry - its second largest, after oil - which has been largely unscathed by the bloody drug war being fought in the border states.
Mexican newspaper El Universale reported that attackers arrived at the bar in a Jetta and a Silverado truck shortly after 1 a.m. and burst in with long guns.
Witnesses said they herded patrons and employees into an area with no exit and threw Molotov cocktails that burned down the joint.
Some patrons managed to escape.
The dead included six women - all believed to be waitresses - and two men.
The newspaper said the bar owner refused to pay extortionists from the Zetas cartel a few weeks ago when they demanded $40,000 to "protect" the bar.
It was reportedly the second time he had rebuffed them. It was not immediately clear if he was among the dead.
Firebombings are becoming an increasingly popular tool of criminals in Mexico, where drug gangs are fighting each other and the government.
The Zetas are blamed for slaughtering 72 poor migrants last week because their families could not pay a ransom and they refused to work as assassins.
In May, federal police arrested Cancun Mayor Gregorio Sanchez for money laundering and ties to the drug cartels.

The APCF DAL ghang sign is to rub our crotches, smile politely in the direction of Courtney Friel and make the widget with our right hand. Then follow that up with the Three Amigos movie move. "Water for our horses for tonight....we ride." I know its complicated but it can't be any harder than the MD-88 overhead pre-flight for the FO.
OK brothers. the APC first annual convention will be outside of the Fox News Studios on the morning of September 7th following the Fox and Friends segment. Find the closest bagel vendor and wear your uniform jacket smartly...you fNWA guys too. No need to wear the hat and, those that do, will be dispatched quickly. Those who comply with the jacket request, and no Lee Moak will most likely not be there, will get intros to Courtney, Megyn Kelly, and whomever other Fox hottie we can glom onto. Sorry Carl, I'm saving Gretta for Ferd.
