Eject? I could conjure up Freudian connotations with that word.
Good idea to get this all out of the way in one shot. My only request is that HSLD "officiate."

I can see the connection and Freudian connotation. I'm unsure of HSLD's discipline to officiate and observe and not want to participate. I think it would be hard to find a disinterested party to make the operation a success. HSLD, are you capable of going into a candy store without desiring a bite of something sweet? This MHC stuff can get complicated!

4. It is only necessary to enter the burrow once to qualify. Once in and once out is qualifying. Quantity, style, method, duration and any other sort of creativity is solely at the discretion of the participants (bunnies). The 1000 times reference was only to explain that 1000 in and outs are no more qualifying than 1 in and out. I know I am going to end up being thrown in pervert prison for trying to educate you MHC virgins here and it will be all your fault.
5. It does not matter how you get there. Balloon, helo, airplane, space shuttle, whatever. Tie 1000 helium balloons to a love seat for all I care and cut the cord holding your loveseat to the block of cement. Just make sure you get to 5280 feet before you dive in the burrow. I'd be interested in hearing about the descent after the qualifying event.
6. I think the FAA has a rule but nobody ever reads the FAA rules so who knows. Don't ask, don't tell I suppose.
7. The only difference with being with a check airman is that he/she will record your performance and may report you to the FAA for substandard skills. You could be recommended for additional training to meet standards. If I were a check airman I would require at least 12 to 15 training flights in addition to a thorough oral exam.
8. You know the standard tradition after a student pilot solos is to cut the back out of his/her shirt and hang it on the wall of the establishment you soloed at with names, dates etc. Once you have joined the MHC, it is customary to exchange and sign undergarments for the trophy case. I am not making this up! I had the opportunity to be loosely associated with a pilot organization in the Tulsa area that provided services for couples and even awarded certificates for this rare accomplishment.
9. A small shot of tequila is customary when on the ground to celebrate the consumation of this achievement. It's funny I know so much about how it works but to this day remain a virgin to the sky Gods. Perhaps if I pray more and keep a better lookout for those bunny burrows?
I am through answering questions about the bunnies. It is time to recover from my redeye and take a nap. If I have dreams about this stuff there will be hell to pay later after I wake up. calcapt out!

Ahem doesnt seem like a very romantic come on...

In lieu of losing my sky virginity I am considering adopting a vow of celibacy. I am finding life on the road socially challenging and may adopt a new hobby to stop thinking carnal thoughts. Can you have a celibate pimp? Can anyone suggest something to do with my spare time to take my mind off the posse girls? I'm out of ideas!

I don't think that romance was something that this guy was capable of. He was just another rich and powerful arsehole thinking he could have his way with Skygirl, or any other woman for that matter. It's always fun to put those kind of guys in their place. The Air New Zealand flight attendant and I, though had a good laugh over the dude...
I'm flying all over "this" country over the next week or so. I don't think that one will have the ability for MHC initiation during this busiest travel week of the summer. I think every plane will departing gates at near capacity, lines will be long at the airport, and people will be grumpy!

No, a celibate pimp is not possible. Absolutely out of the question. As pimp, you need to set the standard and the rest will try to follow. This is not a drug dealing operation where you do NOT want the dealer to be sampling the goods. In fact, a pimp HAS to sample the goods.
However, if you have set your heart on a new hobby, may I suggest the following: shopping, woodworking, deep tissue massage, or the ever popular Palm Sisters. I also heard Sudoku puzzles are very addictive.

Look at this. Go away for a second and now it's bunny burrows, legal debates, F-18s and the Mile High Club. Good, keep doing that.

Sounds like some good advice counselor. Already doing Sudoku but having a hard time making it past the three star level. Deep tissue massage sounds painful but intriguing. Are these the two girls who live in Palm Springs? Or are you talking about the twins that have taken refuge inside my gloves? Was patiently and quietly working on 27 across on today's USA Today crossword at 37000 feet tonight with the FO flying to NYC. Over the Carolinas the autopilot clicks off and all sorts of buzzers, alarms and lights start flashing. Suffice to say the remaining portion of the flight wasn't spent on the crossword. Most days I am overpaid but tonight I earned every dime. Maintenance will be very busy tonight on my bird as she was quite sick. Hope she feels better in the morning and I hope my FOs blood pressure returns to normal. Long night to say the least. I'll consider the celibacy issue but sampling the goods means locating the goods and I am quite unsuccessful in that undertaking. Short, fat, bald and ugly guys aren't exactly chick magnets but I will take your advice under advisement.
