Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
That's exactly how I feel as an LAX 73 guy. They've been doing all of my flying for the last year or so and I wanted to get that back....now, they'll just come down to LA and kick me out. I hope it doesn't go through.

Capt Crunch seems to be hanging out on the 4th floor today - hope his intel is good. I don't see how 600 guys could get trained next year - that place is balls to the wall - E periods for new hires - looked like Grand Central for my MD90 0500 A period the other day.

Maybe they are going out for some...Buggery on the High Seas!
Cue that Monty Python song;
"Men, Men, Men, Men, we're a ship all full of men..."
Hey Jug, I think they're talking about the prince working on his muffin top...NOT that hot-looking, soon-to-be queen. I want whatever she's having.

What in the hell??! OK, who's up for heading over to the frat house and cramming a vodka soaked tampon up their rectum? Is this an SEC thing?

Vodka eyeball shots a dangerous way to imbibe
By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY
College students have long done crazy things, from swallowing gold fish to jamming themselves into telephone booths. Not all things they try are dangerous, but some are.
Two new cases in point: consumption of controversial alcoholic energy drinks likely to be banned today; and a bizarre method of trying to get plastered by absorbing alcohol through the eyeball.
CAFFEINATED ALCOHOL: Feds move to ban Four Loko, similar products
The eyeball shots don't succeed and definitely fall in the category of risky behaviors, experts say.
"This is an activity that has no upside to it," says David Granet, a professor of ophthalmology at the University of California, San Diego.
The theory among the students seems to be that alcohol can be absorbed through mucous membranes, and the eyeball and inner side of the eyelids are covered in mucous membrane, so, voila!— vodka eyeball shots. There are more than 30 homemade videos of young men doing this on YouTube.
Not only does it fail to get someone drunk, "it hurts and it will cause permanent damage to the surface of the eye," Granet says.
Ophthalmologists have been speaking out against this trend ever since it appeared on U.S. campuses last spring. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, it appears to have begun in England.
"There is absolutely, positively nothing that can be construed as fun about this," Granet says.
These kinds of stunts are "a normal reflection of this developmental stage," says Paul Lyons, a professor of community medicine at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Drinking pranks are really just experimentation by young adults who are not at full adult decision-making capacity, he says.
Another generally ineffectual means of becoming inebriated is the use of vodka-soaked tampons for both women and men (used as suppositories for males).
