Amen.
This dude (the Delta neighbor) is a complete tool if the story told is true and complete (see possible snorkeling incident). Seriously though, this forum seems to be getting more and more about trolling and/or pi##ing on guys. I don't know... might be time for an extended hiatus. |

Interestingly, if one were seeking to implement communism and/or totalitarian gov't a la East Germany behind the Iron Curtain, this is a great way to go about doing it without ever having to fire a shot or fight for the takeover. Of course, at the same time you'd want to militarize the police forces, politicize all the departments of gov't (IRS, EPA, Justice, State) etc. But none of that has been happening in America. I'm just a tool for thinking it has. |
Friend of mine came across this, and sent it my way asking if this was typical of airline pilots.......

I have a nomination for tool of the day
My neighbor and friend of 10 years, also a Delta pilot. I have had an app in at Delta for over 10 years. I recently wanted to refresh my online app by updating my LOR'S. So I ask my "good buddy" if he would be willing to update his LOR for me. He says NO......Why? Because 4 years ago, We went on vacation with him and his wife. A bareboat charter. Because we had planned it for over 6 months and I couldn't get the week off at my crappy regional, I called in sick. So he can't "in good conscience" recommend anyone who would abuse sick policy. THAT is where the term "douchbag" originates from |

Easy gramps. The sky isn't falling. What's funny about some older folk is they believe that somehow every generation before them didn't think the same exact thing. You aren't special. America is fine. The world turns. People can be gay, do drugs, not believe in some version of God, and try and combat global warming and it will be okee dokee m'kay

Steady down there hotshot. Get down off of your step stool. Your turn for being viewed as an out of touch old fart will come also. Guaranteed! Keep that in mind when you blithely lecture other folks with your know it all powers. ;)

To belabor the obvious, in the field of aviation, especially on a website named "Airline Pilot Central", you are indeed the layperson you speak of. |
