Good Lord man. I'm a semi-practicing Jew who lost family in the Holocaust.

Yup. Definitely XJ. I remember seeing them at MSP and thinking how weird it was that so many people could not figure out that their epaulets were on upside down....then I heard as to why they were doing it. I have never lost respect for a group of people so quickly.

Well, they were flying the "9" for the "premier" Delta/NW regional.

You, at some point, had respect for XJ pilots?

TOTD to the 4 drunks in the car ahead of me in the drive thru line at Taco Bell.

Normally, you expect that, but these tools spent 10 minute trying to order crap that wasn't on the menu, and when they did manage to get their order done, they didn't pay, but just drove through and left the poor cashier with 4 bags of, well, Taco Bell.

TOTD+ if it was 4 separate orders. I hate that.

Usually I get behind the mom alone in the minivan. She then proceeds to whip out a list and order for 10 people.

It seems that there are a lot of Captains and some of the newer FO's who have no idea that Epaulets have a right and wrong way to be put on.

Agreed.

I can't figure why these clowns have so much trouble getting dressed in the morning. Seriously, I never thought that these befuddling bits of uniform ornamentation required an explanation. I'm a product of our fine public education system and I still figured out which way they go on a shirt.

By upside down, do you mean wide end toward the neck? Or the seam on the top?
