So has Albie though. Just sayn.

I agree with the "pics or it didn't happen" concept.

Hotter wife = lesser tool :p

Not like it's hard to see one them already.

Another DAL-centric nomination, NE division thereof:

The person that purchased the black chairs in the JFK lounge,

and,

The person that's failing to rectify the first tool's mistake.


Over.

Whoa. I initially thought you were referring to the trade-a-plane swats. :eek::eek:

I keep the swatting above the equator, if you know what I mean. And umm.... I don't go that way.

For my planning purposes, which FBO can she be found in?

Yeah, way to make me feel better. Everyplace it is "oh, they are so friendly there!"

For another tool, about 14 years ago or so we were on a celebratory vacation and chartered a seaplane to an outlying island in the South Pacific. Nice tanned young Kiwi pilot, and we chatted a bit before short flight. We land and lady cardiomd requests a picture, so I set self-timer, and the pilot poses between us and puts his arm around Ms. Cardiomd and holds her close. It is the funniest picture with me awkwardly standing by myself with this WTH face, and the smiling pilot and Ms. Cardiomd looking like a happy couple.

I'm not sure if the pilot or I was the tool of that day.

Since I still remember this after this many years I guess it makes me the tool. :o Mrs. Cardiomd thinks "awww, he was so nice!"

If any of you did NZ based island flying circa 1999 I give you a virtual trade-a-plane swat.

Instead of the self-timer, you should've had the Kiwi take the pic. :)

What's that saying again? "A ring doesn't cover a hole"....I kid, I kid!

Cardiomd, you will have to ignore the rhetoric, I think we are all just jealous of the paycheck we imagine you are making compared to ours :o:(

On a ELP layover the whole crew was having beverages in the bar at happy hour. Some guys came up and asked us what we were doing in ELP. We told them we were engineers getting ready to build a subway around ELP. They believed it and were very enthusiastic about the idea. Of course, looking back on it, they may have been thinking we were building it for the import market.

It was my birthday in TLH on an overnight, long story short we went out and came back with company. The next morning my new roomate saw my uniform out and said "so you're a pilot?" My response "yeah?" "Last night you told me you were a flight attendant." Still to this day I'm not sure how that worked.

Tool of the day "honorable mention"....

Hotel receptionists who insist on putting the CA and FO in rooms right next to each other (bonus points if the rooms are adjoined only by a paper thin "suite" door).

To the Receptionists:

We spend 16 hours a day within 3 feet of each other.

Really, it's really, really okay if we're on different floors.

Really. It's okay.
