I just threw up in my mouth a little. Hey, the 930 bank just landed... better put your booties back on. Those bags aren't going to throw themselves!

"Things were pretty crazy back in 07 when I was in college"????? Buddy, you have somewhat lit me up on another thread. I was flying the Boeing products (yes the ones without propellers) in 121 ops before you were born. YGBSM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:

Hey listen pal, I am current mil, with "sand in my boots" and about to four...or is it five peat...? I am losing count. Suffice it to say my civilian life has been pushed back a few years.

And, HELLO- Non-sequitur! What does that have to do with justifying going to GOJets?? There are some lows in this industry, but circumventing a pilot group? Nope!! Swing and a miss! Put that tail between your legs now.
