Thanks Mako... I agree with cocktail hour, but that music list on another thread - ouch man. We should do a top 25 best adult beverage list. Otherwise, I don't think I'd have much to add unless terms 'neat' or 'on the rocks' + bourbon would a cocktail make.
APC - thanks for the link.
Cheers mates

Don't worry about the odd certified AFA in the crowd.

..F-15 boy..
I will admit that fighter dudes have a lot to learn when they transition to the airlines. Out of curiosity when you get the numbers to input into the FMS is VMCG included?
The little turd was too arrogant...
You just cemented the stereotype the rest of the world has about certain F-15 guys
I bet you're a blast on a trip..
Actually we have a great time on layovers!Sorry, its just your question struck me as elitist. Have you done any research on flying for the airlines? Did you wake up one day and decide you now want to fly for the airlines? Like the academy cadet that takes the pilot slot because its expected. If an F-15 pilot asked that question he'd hear it even worse from me.
Good luck!

That I should have explained it to him in private but NEVER in front of "his" (he was an f/o) crew!

Sure...we have them....everyone does! He was probably a retired "big wig."
I know a bunch of F-15 guys who are good dudes. But there is definitely the "Ego driver" sect who didn't get the message and never will get the message. Don't be one of those guys.

As the old adage goes, "How do you know there is a Fighter Pilot at your party??? He'll tell you"
Most of us try desperately NOT to be that guy.
Hang in there Cheddar; first two are on me.
