It's only half time, but he's thrown 3 picks for 21 points to Tampa!

Now, I love to watch Eli lose, but my wife LOVES Eli, so, unless he pulls his head out of his arse, and they come back in the second half...well...I'm not getting ANY tonight, maybe all week!

Thanks a lot Eli, you TOOL!

Me thinks someone got lucky last night!!!!! :D

Well...it must run in the family; 3 picks for Payton already and it's only the first quarter! :eek:

We'll see if he can pull it out like his baby bro.

Pilots in full uniform doing errands...
 
I am seeing more and more guys wearing their full uniform (minus the hat thank God!) in public places like the grocery store, Barnes and Noble, Academy Sports and Walmart.

One guy I have seen twice and he wears his blue "Flight Standards..." lanyard, and a gold "fast mover type" on the tie...

Really...how hard is it to try and be a little less..."LOOK AT ME!!!..." Just taking 20 seconds to peel the jewelry, ID, and 4 stripes would go a long way!!

I am running out of excuses for these guys when my non-pilot neighbor/friends ask me if it is a requirement by my company to wear the uniform while at the store? :rolleyes:

Where are you guys going that you see all these pilots in uniform?

I mean, lets be real here, its fun to make fun of the thought, but I have never actually seen a pilot out in public in uniform. Aside from, of course, gas stations right near the employee parking lot or something like that.

FYI, I'm not going to strip down to run into the store to pick something up, it's a uniform,who cares.......I'm not advocating hanging out in the mall for 5 hrs, but Jesus, when I wore a suit to work, I wouldn't take off my tie, or suit jacket. I agree the ID badge might be excessive but uniform, why bother.......

Airplanes Cleared After Hijack Threats | NBC Chicago

Lots of people involved in this one get "Tool of the day" honor, but I think the captain deserves "Cool of the day"

It's pretty easy to remove our 15 pieces of flare if needed. However my favorite pilot uniform story is a young guys at the bank in full uniform talking to a milf and she asked who he flys for, he said hes a pilot for ATA. Three hours later I'm at the the executive airport prepping for a trip and look over and he's briefing his private student for his lesson at Airline Training Academy!

Who ever did not 'de-badge' at lunch paid.
