And if you ever had the old guy van driver during thst era, he was a trip. Bombastic is the only way I can think to describe him. Guy was almost certainly the town crier at a Renaissance Fair on his days off.

Reality was the capt was asked to leave by the two females when they ended upstairs in the room. Surfer Dude did smartest thing possible, he said nothing. Thus the large group of 20 something Riddlish guys at Coex heard the story and assumed he had a whicked three way...

Meanwhile 8 years later as a new hire at CAL, I’m getting asked by grumpy old skippers what went down in a hot tub back when in either GSP or GSO...

Legend sealed...

Dunno. Go ask anyone that signed off on that atrium hotel design that was popular in the late 80s-early 90s where the pool, hot tub, lobby bar, front desk, first few floors of rooms, etc were all enclosed in a large glass atrium so that everything would smell like chlorine.

Be that as it may, I wasn't there so can't say for sure. But what I can say for sure is that the wall around the hot tub area was about 2-3 feet high then suddenly it was 5-6 feet high, with plants on top. Correlation obviously is not causation but the connection is strong. Maybe those old grumpy CAL skippers were bored with their lives and just wanted to hear a good story?

That atrium signing-off person must have worked for Crowne Plaza Hotels for a long time.

I've actually got a little expertise in this area from a former life, but yes. For a long time the atrium was kind of a "signature" of Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and Intercontinental hotels, who incidentally are all part of the same parent company and have been for a long time.

Don't forget about having a seat at the table... The kiddie table.

Heard the same.

He was akin to Ross in the FRIENDS episode.

Thinking it was gonna be cool, but a spectator was the best he’d get out of it, if that.

Brown chicken cow cow.

Actually, when it’s a slow news day, you REALLY can make this stuff up.

I believe it was a combination of something blown way, WAY out of proportion. As well as an FO that had a “rep” of being a massive bag of feminine hygiene product.

Then there was the training center captain who left XJT to become a public high school teacher. Then, he seduces his students, kidnaps them, takes them to "clubs," and "hangs [it] out" with them. He went to Rikers, and you can google "Sickest Perv Teacher Ever New York Post" and learn all about it.

Found an article here after his sentencing: https://nypost.com/2015/12/22/teache...ars-in-prison/

It doesn't mention XJT, but I flew with him and I promise you he was with us. We went out to dinner once, even. Other articles mention that he was a pilot.
