The best part? They both had more tail before their 21st birthday than you or I could ever imagine.

Yeah, but at least you and I knew what to do with it.... ;)

The young 20-something student pilot who nearly ran me over while I was walking to my car as she was speeding through the tiny FBO parking lot in a brand new BMW with license plate reading AV8RGRL gets my vote.

I'll take partial Tool credit for being jealous of her car (I love BMW's) and for being annoyed at her for having a pilot vanity plate when she is still a student. Though I think that just added insult to injury for my brush with death.:o Then again, pilot vanity plates are pretty tool'ish in my book anyways.

That student with the BMW is the darling of the flight training community for having substantial funds during training and the darling of the regionals for not caring about pay.

Tool of the day goes to GA Gov Nathan Deal and ATL Mayor Kaseem Reed for holding a joint press conference yesterday claiming the weather was "unexpected". Also for the entire ATL area school systems for not cancelling school in advance, just to save $ on not having to remain open one more day in May. They all had the brilliant idea to throw in the towel at the same time yesterday.

Another reason for the Tool vote!

+1 The Winter Storm watch was issued on Monday and the Winter Storm Warning at 3:38AM on tuesday. Unexpected my a$$

TOTD: whoever put "JIHAD" in Delta's crossword puzzle.

Cool of the Day: whoever put the hot bikini chicks on the page facing the Delta crossword puzzle.

The e190(not sure what airline) D'bag yesterday in Phl who wouldn't give a detailed braking action report. After multiple runway closings and openings between 9L&R and everyone holding people start to go in. Very concise reports (IE: touchdown, midpoint and rollout) from a usair, air whisky, and a couple of departing aircraft this tool was totally unwilling to say anything other than fair to poor at about 1500 ft. Ok, which 1500'? Would help in decision making process as we were getting close on divert fuel. But no, after 2 requests with the same answer, the 3rd request was answered in a douchey tone of "we landed didn't we". Totally unprofessional, still didn't answer the f'ing question. Finally got some reports from departing aircraft as we were inside the marker that were detailed enough. Special thanks to the departing air whisky crew who recommended shutting down 9R after sliding all over on takeoff roll. And to you Mr. E190 may bedbugs keep you awake and infest your home!
