Is that why he wears a helmet? Your cat I mean, not the vage.

They were just tossed into everyone's V-files, so if you still have a file there will be a swell pin there when you get back. If it hasn't corroded away to flakes, that is.

 

He probably didn't get the 100% completion pin..he just got 100% of his giant retirement parachute instead

 

MC and FH re-elected as MEC chair and vice-chair. Lovely.

 

If I was an IOE Captain and doing "Captain Downgrade" training, I'd put the pin on the FO's chair when he was outside trying to figure out the walkaround.

Then when he sat down in the right seat to start getting ATIS, he'd get a jab from the pin.

Then I'd say "looks like you're getting it in the rump twice, huh?

Then I'd pull out the Soaper puppet and start calling for checklists.

That's why I'm not an IOE Captain I guess.

 

he got junior manned, twice!!

 

Did you vote?

 

I thought the Vage wore a helmet or was that NG2? I cant remember... Must have been mistaken then.

 

I think the reps voted based on the input they got from the pilots (25%),

and based on who they wanted to vote for (75%).

If the rank-and-file pilots had a chance to vote you would have seen mugshots and posters all over the walls in ops for the last two weeks.

 

ng2 wore a vest to work, if that's what you mean...

 

For some reason this joke reminds me of the OH management and alpa relationship... I guess it's analogous in many ways:

Jewish and Chinese Pilots.
A plane leaves Los Angeles airport under the control of a Jewish captain.
His copilot is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together, and an awkward silence between the two seems to indicate a mutual dislike.
Once they reach cruising altitude, the Jewish captain activates the auto-pilot, leans back in his seat, and mutters, 'I don't like Chinese.'
'No rike Chinese?' asks the copilot, '....why not?'
'You people bombed Pearl Harbor, that's why !'
'No, no,' the co-pilot protests, 'Chinese not bomb Peahl Hahbah! That Japanese, not Chinese.'
'Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese... doesn't matter, you're all alike!'
There's a few minutes of silence.
'I no rike Jews either!' the copilot suddenly announces.
'Oh yeah, why not?' asks the captain.
'Jews sink Titanic.'
'What? That's insane! Jews didn't sink the Titanic!' exclaims the captain, 'It was an iceberg!'
'Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, Rosenberg ...no mattah... all same.'
