Ouch! That sort of stings! From a fellow Bro Capt too! Just a second while I pull that knife out of my back. I set myself up for that didn't I?

Seriously the things people assume just because a guy dresses well, subscribes to Martha Stewart Living, likes the ballet and owns a pastry bag. . . . . . . . . . . . .

OK kidding, , but my wife is a ballet instructor.

Admit it, you go around convective build ups when you can too. We're all 121 wussies.

Agreed. Had an American 10 year FO in the jumpseat the other day looking at possible furlough in the fall. 10 freaking years! Most of which he has spent on the street. Errmmm...no thanks.

Just finished my PC today; word from sim instructor:
"No classes in near future, last upgrade class for the year (EMB-120) heading to sim next week."
Additionally:
"We still have a 'training contract' with UA; contract was for elven year term, still at least two more years to go. Furloughed UA pilots, who want a job, can go straight to class w/o interview, and the receive 2nd year pay (UALPA makes up the difference in pay)."

No word if the UA pilots have priority over poolies; regardless there needs to be a class to contend for first. Company is admitedly over staffed on the jet; fall flying cuts were deeper than expected.

I know your just kidding. I cry in movies too. I got a little "verklempt" in Hellboy II. And don't even get me started on The Dirty Dozen, I'll cry a river!
