Dry or wet, its all good. Besides, the best BBQ in the world (with the possible exception of Bryant's in KC) is North Carolina pulled pork in vinegar and pepper. By way of full disclosure, I'm a Chapel Hill native raised by my grand parents at Bullock's....:D

Jeesh, without the makeup Katy just looks like the typical kid. I wouldn't give you a flying Vanessa for her.

This time of year the best entertainment by far is the Clamp Show on APC. By the way, I'm leaving Pam Beasley. Switching to Katy Perry. http://chismetime.com/wp-content/upl...-esquire-2.jpg http://thewondrous.com/wp-content/up...Katy-Perry.jpg |

Having spent a little time with a Colonel who flew some of the secret missions and having shared some of the (burp) materials, this conclusions of this research are valid. The study caused a few people to gain a lot of weight. |

There is a Montgomery Inn Boat House down by the river that would be a short cab ride from the layover hotel.
The Original Inn was better, but like a lot of facilities where the staff goes home while the smoker's still smokin', it burned. |

Council 20 decided to publish flight pay loss information. No way around it at the MEC level.
Maybe the DTW reps could do a month-by-month breakdown of their own flight pay loss usage, and see if the pilots in the other bases want the same from their reps, too. Do you think leadership by example would work in this situation? |

I dont remember you having this much intellect when you were teaching me about NDB holding. BTW, do you think that we were out of CG with both of us being 6'4 + and 200lbs +? He taught me how to really fly in IMC, go missed and divert correctly. |

Interesting. What exactly has been preventing them from publishing their own flight pay loss data? The MEC has never had a say in that. In fact, it used to be published annually in MSP by the reps there. Why haven't the DTW reps ever done that?

I can't even remember how many divorces happened because of MEC reps crazy days away from home and over all schedules not to mention cell phone ringing at least 5 times an hour.. I am amazed anyone even wants the jobs. I would certainly never consider it. Returning the the line is like going on a permanent vacation for many ex reps.
Dunno about divorce rates, but the reps I've talked to are VERY tired by the end of their terms. I don't want their job, a little bit of volunteering here and there and staying informed is enough for me. |
