I'd rather hitchhike.

He may be dehydrated as well due to the fact that we have no APU's in the summertime.
BTW, according to our training department, the 10 jets we got from Eagle weren't in that great of shape as when we got them either.

If so, then perhaps their remedy was not to fix anything........that would make sense.

Pilots do basic walkarounds and only go by what the AML says. What occurs in the insides of the aircraft are out of your observation. That has been where the problems are.

This makes me all the more comfortable with my decisions.

I'd love to see this guy outside the airport hitch-hiking because the only ride home is on TSA. I would hope that he'd never ask us for a ride.

Eagle's maintenance is not the best in the industry, btw.
