For the last 20 years, I've been carrying an extension cord (with prongs that fit foreign jacks, as appropriate). C'mon guys, not that big a deal...Sam

That's actually a question from the cognitive reasoning interview test for pilot applicants.

And for the record it's a trick question. The answer is I'd look it up in the FOM.

My personal fave welcoming speech: "We hope you enjoy your stay in Boston, or wherever your final destination may take you."

Your destination doesn't "TAKE" you anywhere. Your destination is where you ARRIVE. Either say "wherever your final destination may BE", or "wherever your TRAVELS may take you".

I know it's supposed to sound whimsical, but it really just sounds stupid.

To the AE(Envoy) pilot waiting to be picked up for the DFW training center yesterday. Hipster looking tennis shoes, coupled with skinny jeans and a un-tucked white V neck tee shirt and the oversized Ricky Martin looking shades on. Oh, the sun had gone down. But wait, there is more. Because of previously mentioned V neck, a very nice display of tattoos displayed on lower neck and chest, kinda gangster style. Not exactly what I consider a good look for our profession. On the other hand, maybe I was just grumpy after a 4 leg day + commute and waiting 45 mins in baggage claim.
