Keep the humor coming FTB, just remember your turn with the boys will come.

So much for piles of replacement 747-8's or whatever the rumor of the week was. We got an extra 1000 lbs of MTOW on the 738's.

Yayyyyyy. Way to stick it to 'em, boys.
Rumor is that was part of it.

I heard the orders/options books had changed from Boeing, but I was not sure if that was part of the penalties.

I do know DAL does not seem to be happy with Boeing as of late though.

Wouldn't that leave both ramps 3 and 5 a cursed mix for the sake of having a clean ramp 4? If the critters just moved over to D, at least we would have 3 to ourselves, which is the worst ramp at the airport right now.

If DAL takes over both sides of a ramp, they could also petition the City of Atlanta to take over the Ramp Tower as well......

Why? I can't wait for some SWA oldtimer to go apoplectic on the radio when that female ramp controller gets in the weeds and end up with two planes nose to nose, totally gridlocking the ramp.

She unloaded on a couple Shuttle America jumbo RJ's on a crowded ramp a while back. Planes of course ended up nose to nose, and we reaped a 40 minute wait for push as a result. She kept on confusing the two callsigns and, instead of realizing that it was all her fault, she just started yelling at them and giving even more confusing instructions. It finally ended with "MERCURY XXXX and YYYY, STOP. JUST STOP."

Someone transmitted a "yikes." A few moments later a new voice appeared on the radio.

Well, I wanted to strike a balance of living vicariously through an anonymous work forum and coming off as a dirty man. Of course, maybe I should've noticed the cleavage in your avatar pic. The problem is, it needs to be bigger! [insert smile here]

BTW, here is my joke! (couldn't type it out earlier)
So, an airline pilot comes home from his trip to find his wife at the door with her bags packed. He was perplexed, "where are you going?"

"I'm leaving you?"

"Why?!"

"Because I heard you were a pedophile."

"PEDOPHILE!? (laughing) Wow, that's an awfully big word for a 12 year old."

Okay, I know I said the 3 ingredients to a good forum is shop talk + sex + gossip + controversy. But so as not to be sexist, one more joke:
Airline pilot starts talking to his wife about whether she would ever remarry if he was to die. He always thought he'd get remarried but surely his widowed wife would never remarry because she would be so grief stricken. So for confirmation purposes he asked: "would you ever remarry if I died suddenly?"

"I don't know, maybe."

He stood there dumbfounded.

"YOU WOULD?"
"I don't know, it's not something I think about! Geeish!"
"Well where would you live?" He demanded, "would you live in our house?"
"I don't know, maybe."
"Would you use our bed?"
"I don't know, maybe." She said.
"Would you let him drive my car?"
"I don't know, it's not something I think about really, but maybe, I don't know."
"Would you let him use my golf clubs?!"

"Oh no, he's left handed."
I can stop. Would you like me to stop?

But that's it. Those are the only 2 jokes I know by heart.
