Contract above all.

Holy crap, how do we turn this thing (Whitehammer) off? Maybe we can have a spelling contest? I've been here for 6 months. All of MY CAs have not been amazing guys to fly with, but they have all been in charge, and I have treated them thusly. Somebody said something about "if everybody in the room is an assh**e..." You might want to consider the fact that not a single person is coming to your defense. We use the possessive "my" not as a means of degradation, but as a term of allegiance, loyalty, unity. It says "whatever happens, we are in this together. We are a team." The only accurate thing you have said is "I am wrong." You should have left it at that. Now, did somebody say something about buying me a beer?

As for lanyards, I have nothing against ALPA lanyards, I hate all lanyards equally. Why are they all designed for people who are 6'4"? At 5'9" I don't particularly enjoy having my ID swing and bounce around my crotchal region. I much prefer clipping it to my pocket. Now, with that being said, you pushy bastards have brow beaten me into wearing the damn thing because I was sick of collecting them in my bag. For anybody distressed by the lack of readily available lanyards, might I suggest simply standing in line at the JFK T5 Starbucks, sans lanyard? You will most assuredly confronted with the question "I see you're not wearing a lanyard, I've got some in my bag, do you need one?"
I kid. Contract above all.
