Our takeoff time was 1329. It happened just as we were cleared to lineup and wait. So, narrowing it down, maybe 1326ish?

As in the fake ball sack that people hang off the back of their trucks? If so we need to skip right past Pro Standards and literally beat him. What in the hell is he thinking?! Way to represent the profession. Raging idiot

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

The same. In "blushing pink" tone.

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.

Pfft...easy! Someone needs to drag a blow-up doll through the terminal strapped to their rollaboard!

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.
