A SERIOUS funk! CLE has a funk in the literal sense and EWR ain't exactly Yosemite. Like I've always said choosing between our bases is like choosing whether to get kicked in the face, stomach, or nutts.

No reason to be. I only date guys that are 5'2" and 100 lbs. Of which you're not. Time to hit that gym Ford!

So are you saying little boys are your cup of tea? I'm trying to imagine a grown man being that size and not looking like a) a midget or b) a little boy.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke! In reference to C.F.'s statements that he only dates skinny girls.

He probably got confused because both of them are glittery and not very interesting to hetero males.

I think you're onto something. Remember Scott from ATP/Skymates lore? He's with Eagle now. Can't stand DFW, and for the same reason.

I'm having fun in Jersey/New York, but I'm starting to miss the 'ol mesquite bushes, rolling prairie, and blessedly cheap real estate. I do believe I'll be back in the Metroplex in a year or so. Family and all, you understand.

Newark does have a smell, but that's the New Jersey area from Secaucus to just south of EWR as a whole. It's still very much an industrial area.

Man, that actually kinda sucks that an XJT recruiter is taking the "don't you want to fly a JET!??!" route. Someone should remind her that XJT used to fly props once upon a time. I'm sure if XJT could get a Dash-8 contract, they'd jump on it. I mean, it's a prop, sure, but it's a PROFITABLE one. She needs to be reminded of that. The "worthless w/o 100 multi" was a little over the top, too.

As far as pulling out seats and putting in a plush interior, wouldn't that make them Embraer Legacies?

I was tempted to go, "You know, it's ironic that 10 years ago you were the scum of the industry." But discretion is the better part of valor, I guess

Well, it sounds like she did a bang-up job of scaring everyone away from ExpressJet. Not that it matters.

So what were the other recruiters like?

CapnJim,

What would you do if you were online and I was online, would we both be online?
