Any car places you recommend? Get it in STT or in St. John? Where to stay. Found a place on the east side on vrbo. Figured it was more exposed to the trade winds but it's not near Cruz bay. Is that necessary or can you be further out

I have done Zozo's in St. Johns, amazing food, great atmosphere, but pricey. It's on a resort from a converted sugar cane farm. When I go I take the taxi to Red Hook, then ferry to Cruz Bay, much more reliable, its 12 bucks I think. Watch out for the cabbies, they love to rip off tourists, it's a set rate between the airport and Red Hook, if you just have your backpack keep it with you, if they touch a bag they charge you another 5 bucks or so, then expect a tip. Snorkeling, diving, beautiful water!

On Aug. 20, 2010, court records show, a pilot on a Spirit Airlines flight out of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, took the passenger jet he was flying out of autopilot and accelerated the airplane nearly to maximum speed, pulling the plane up into a rapid climb.
He had exhibited erratic behavior before, notably in February 2010, when he was found lying on the floor of the cockpit on a flight from San Juan, P.R. He failed to tell the airline or his medical examiner that he was self-medicating with St. John’s wort, an herbal supplement often used for psychological issues.

Don't know who he is, but Id sure like to stand up, shake his hand and punch him in his effin' face. Its the weirdo losers of this world who are makin things worse off for the rest of us. And don't let me get started on the religious nutjobs...
Took me two seconds to google his name is William Tate. He was fired by Spirit. Good riddance.

I remember hearing at Mesaba about the "ICE CREAM MAN". Supposedly he would punch FOs in flight and later feel bad and buy them ice cream. He had to take anger management... never knew what happened to him.

Mark W. from MSP. He had a history of going nuclear, then feeling bad and buying frozen yogurt. He stood about 5 foot nothing, so IMO it was all about the Napoleon syndrome.

Last I heard, William (Billy) Tate was in prison for armed robbery and felony stalking. Someone posted his mugshot a few years back.

Time for vacation slide questions?
Do we request the slide after initial awards and before final schedule?
Bid Package says to use the ‘Options’ field in Flica to enter ‘transition options’ & ‘vacation slides’.
The only Options field I can find in my Flica is for account options.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
