Neither does most of the class of ‘83. Now that they’re retiring in mass, it’s turning out to be a nice base. Good people, good support from the office, and pretty good trips. It sure beats what it was. Scabs running the office, scabs running the training department, and even a scab as head of ALPA pro standards. Times are good and getting better.

I have two dogs. Every morning I give them two scoops of food each. And every morning I watch as they gulp food down as fast as they can watching each other with a jealous eye. Funny what you can learn from animals.

Oh well, I better go walk the dogs. They’re getting fat.

Remember the one and only United computer over in the corner at IAH? The good old boys used to take great pleasure in turning it off, unplugging it and generally trying sqruew with us. It was always such a pleasure to take a spin through IAH.

Yes Virginia that was before iPads.

She turned a slightly busy ramp into a complete and total rampmaggeden. My favorite is when she starts predicting and announcing the future.

I'm convinced she gets task saturated getting out of bed in the morning.
