Did you tell him that he was nominated? Not for being cool but for being a tool.

As I got off the airplane for my overnight, the outbound CA was wearing a fanny pack. I whispered a prayer for the FO.

Edit: Tool probably isn't the best word for this guy. I could give him a pass at Disneyland, and say he looked stupid walking down the road, but to wear it in uniform is entirely unacceptable.

They like hearing themselves on the radio most likely.

But in the course of looking around, I noticed a shiny line of oil down the street, marking his path. I always wondered how far he got.

I'm pretty sure that no NFL player has ever killed his children's mom with a knife.
