Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

TOoooo close to home. Funny, funny, funny. And obviously inevitable–must drive the NWA corporate PR guys nuts…glaring exception to the “any PR is good PR” rule…
Is *that* what was going on on that NWA flight to Minneapolis? I thought it was just some slap-and-tickle with the stewardesses, not totally absorbing stuff like this.
Will wonders never cease?

Sorry, but did I miss the eye shades somewhere? After the massive carb loading from the pizza and sliders, infrastructure mine would be looking for repose to process such tasty victuals.
What the heck. With Otto driving, what could go amiss?
What’s the deal with the dragon?
From the looks of it they’ll be doing carrier quals with Flight Sim X during the flight. That should keep them awake for awhile.
I liked the comic I saw about what the pilots would use when lap tops are banned from the flight deck, Palm Pilots, of course.
VX – Or as Capt Dickerson, USN, stated to me at Whiting years ago “son, in this business you can be famous, or you can be infamous. The choice is yours on every flight”.
Where’s the large Hi-Def flatscreen, with the satellite hookup? (have to get ALL the footbal games, right?)
Might one dare ask… where are the patent-pending “Stew-Stirrups(R)” that should be conveniently bolted to either side of the plush seat?
The protective overhead skull impact pad is apparently just out of frame…
That’s so fake! It’s a 330 cockpit, the NW188 was a 320.
Growing weary of this crap, but I still love you guys and thank our host…
