Thanks. I tried looking for about 5 minutes but the recordings don't appear to be working. Too bad!

My guesses:

1. He wasn't.
2. That it was Sunday, and nobody in his chain of command would be in MSP.
3. That it was clever and funny.
4. That nobody would know which airline, although the "United" bag tag might give it away.
5. That it would repel the F/O? (if so...it seemed to be working)

I dunno. Not only did he make tool of the day, he achieved escape velocity. We all need to get back to the drawing board, this one is going to be tough to beat.

Sketchy, he will have to use a buddy pass. May or may not get on.

Call it an "emotional support doll". No gate agent will question it.
