Tool of the Day
Early am flight from YOW back to DTW, I'm half asleep and on my first cup of coffee in cruise. Suddenly the most god awful smell crawls around my newspaper, the Captain has decided to open a can of tuna fish and start eating it for breakfast at 6:30am...A little warning would have been nice.
Same guy had his passenger PA briefing printed and laminated on a card, it was the dorky-est thing I've ever heard. "Relax and prepare to be spoiled by FA-**** while we finish programming the various computers" Holy crap batman it's an RJ not the space shuttle.
I think there was a reward for anyone that could steal it from him.
More to follow

It'd be funny to see if he reads it or not. Kind of like slipping in inappropriate words in a TelePrompTer.

Hundreds of students are studying to fly UAV's | Mail Online
Aaron Gabrielson and Andrew Regenhard, aviation students at the University of North Dakota and self-proclaimed video-game junkies, could just as well be sitting on a couch playing Xbox.
But instead of tapping their fingers on a controller, they're learning to fly the plane and use onboard equipment that includes a camera with a zoom lens as they continue their studies on their $150,000 course.

I watched our mail woman trying to fit a cardboard box into our mailbox for 10 minutes. This square peg wasn't fitting as well as it should have into the round hole, but it's still light years easier than walking 10 feet to our front door. Persistence and perseverance were, however, the winners of the day as a strategically placed rubber band wrapped around the red flag and mailbox door were able to come together unseamlessly thereby fulfilling the contractual obligations of our postal employees for "delivery".
I guess I could have just gone out there to get the mail myself, but I enjoyed watching the show too much. I'll take tool if the day nomination on that one.

I,m going to see if I can get my money back since one of the packages was headed to the west coast and has,nt arrived yet .
They did guarantee next day delivery from the east coast to the west coast or your money back.

A post by erdude32 from the regional thread:
"While your peers at the other Regionals may laugh and call you names, your career earrings will outpace thiers by a couple hundred grand. Is that worth a lousy contract now? YES!"

From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
TOTD goes to the Spirit Cptn who I had the pleasure of riding the MSP hotel van with on my last trip. My crew and I walk out of the terminal to see Cptn X standing curbside smoking, with an insulated flannel jacket on. Yeah, I schit you not. The kind you'd go fetch firewood with out back. He's an overweight slob with an ill-fitting uniform (at least what you could see of it) that probably hasn't been dry cleaned in a year. As if wearing an insulated flannel jacket with your uniform in public isn't bad enough, it's also decrepit and makes him look like a damned hobo. Cptn Suave continues to wear said jacket all the way into the hotel lobby and check-in.
His F/O looked fairly professional in comparison sans the dark blue North Face type of fleece jacket he was wearing under his unbuttoned uniform blazer. You stay classy San Diego!
