To the Piedmont crew who apparently accidentally shut down BOTH engines today after clearing 27R in PHL...
Shut 'em down, emergency lights went on, no one said anything. Sat there for 10 minutes with zero explanation. Started up the right engine and taxied on in...
Tools.
Not because they shut down both engines, but because they said NOTHING to the pax while the Emer lights were on and they sat there on an active taxiway.
Full disclosure, I was not on the flight. Good buddy and his crew were DHs on it.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of rap, but I thought that was a killer cut. I just paypal'd the tune and downloaded to my in-flight playlist. Well done, sir. Takes cajones to put yourself out publicly like that. F the haters, you know they always gonna hate.
Hope I get to meet you one of these days. 1st round is on me.

I was raised in the 60's and 70's listening to Zeppelin and Lou Reed, but when Marshall Mathers came along, and after watching 8 Mile, I started listening to some of his stuff. He's pretty funny too.
Here's one of my favorites. Mods, this one is edited to take out the bad words.
