But the double-breasted admiral that night certainly did.
He drawled "Oh yeah, back in '44. Didn't land though...".

Looooong PA Announcements with IFE
The single most complaint I get today from friends/customers are long winded PA's while in flight. It's 2016 and our passengers know what the weather in ABQ is and the 2/3 who can't see out the window don't care about flying over the grand canyon. What they do care about is you just stopped their movie to update them about nothing. KCCO

You are so behind the times....
They get $5- for every application, then another $45- for each one that is approved. So, $50- a pop.
I know several getting 10~12 apps a trip; they can take home more money pushing VISA's than flying the line. (Plus $500-~$1000- bonuses for the top producers.)
What business are we in again...???
