That simplistic, stylistic, heuristic linguistic was straight up artistic, not sophistic.

I took the time to listen and IMHO, there wasn't anything I couldn't compete with after 2.5 days of shopping on Amazon Prime for audio equipment and some random jabbering, and I just busted 50 years old.

prove it.....otherwise it just sounds like talk

i've come to the belief there is a generational gap here. I bet that folks hated zepplin, floyd, marley, hendrix, credence,...etc etc. prob said exactly what im hearing now. think about it

Most of us love those bands. Especially Zepp. I just don't like rap, especially lame whiny rap.

The Seaborne pilot who loudly said "Are those your pilots? No way, they can't be!" to the gate agent, as so everyone could hear because we looked young. We were both 30ish, really? (I expect this from an ignorant passenger, not a "professional" pilot) And then proceeded to TELL the captain "I am on your jumpseat today" and walked away, didn't even ask, or just nicely say " they put me on the JS".

In that case, hopefully he was politely denied the jumpseat.

Yes, please tell us that he was denied the JS and told why.

Sadly no, he was not because he had a seat in the back, with 10+ open seats and it was intl so he wast allowed up front anyway. We were both highly in favor of it though had he needed the JS for real. It just didnt go that far. Maybe he said what he said because he knew he CANT have the JS. But still, making a scene at the gate was very tool-like indeed

Doesn't matter. He's STILL exercising the PROFESSIONAL COURTESY of the JS privilege, even if riding in a seat in back. And can STILL be denied.
