My submission for ToTD
During boarding on a flight to Newark a few weeks ago, we had a legacy pilot come up almost to the cockpit to check in. I say almost because this cat stood there in the doorway talking on his phone for a few minutes before he addresses us. He layed on his type A personality pretty thick as he informed us he would riding in the back and that he was an FFDO. At this point, and this is the best part, he pulls up his left pant leg and plants his foot on the center console almost on the printer. My upraised eyebrow was dismissed as he made a passing glance my way as he proceeded to extricate his leather FFDO wallet from his sock! After the quick perusal of his creds he made sure several times to let us know where he was sitting if we needed any help. This whirlwind of an Ernie Gann worthy character pulled out his phone again to resume his conversation, did an about face and then stood there as passengers were boarding talking on his phone for a few more minutes. Both the Captain and I said the same thing..."did that really just happen?"

Ok, I'll volunteer to fall on that grenade.
Might want to check with Indy Car driver (ret) Dario Franchitti. He was married to her.

He is probably the last President I'll see in my lifetime, I'll have to make do. Ashley had a great speech, if you can handle the "Nasty Woman" poem you are bulletproof.

Oh darn a minority of women are worried they won't be able to murder their unborn.
