Wow. Just wow. That guy is going to ensure TOTD goes from a thread to a category. There is enough material for JH to have his very own thread, for sure.

In what way are you using the word fortunate ?
I'll tell you this and that is many of us worked our tails off to get where we are during good and bad and I don't recall anything being handed to me ever.

What Fred said is right. More often than not someone that has gotten into aviation had to work extremely hard to make it rather than have it handed to them.

Les Abend's continued presence on CNN. It's one thing to come on and answer questions but a totally different thing to become a part of the CNN circus on the Malaysian flight 370. They have nothing new to report yet they have their experts on panel every night.

Here, the other night Les shows what the Malaysian crew would have looked like if they were wearing the oxygen mask fighting some kind of oxygen/pressurization/smoke issue:

Ooooooh! I saw that scary movie. After the thing on his face fell off, an even scarier monster came out of his chest.

"There are three types of flyers in this world. 5% are aviators who always go above and beyond. 10% are pilots who are consistent. The remaining 85% are certificate holders who only can pass a check ride." I, myself, am an aviator. Which one are you? And you better hope you aren't a certificate holder or you are going to have a tough time."

That is not me saying that. Its a quotation just FYI.
