Doug said he never went to FLL. It's pretty amazing considering all the Delta aircraft that are there. Maybe he was joking.

I've been to FLL a few billion times, I'm not sure where you got that impression!

I've almost got the FORTL4 arrival memorized.

August 25th, 2004, 21:58

Oh ok.

And then some Golden Tee with accumulated pocket change.

Golden Tee has to be the best bar video game EVER! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm suprised those games don't get broken, the drunker people get, the harder and more violent people get with that roller ball you have to hit! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Doug Taylor · August 25th, 2004, 22:06

Golden Tee rocks. When I was a DFW commuter, I'd walk over to the Holiday Inn after dinner and play Golden Tee 2004 with pocket change.

One thing you guys will see once you become road warriors is that you accumulate TONS of pocket change.

August 25th, 2004, 22:09

Doug, back when you were stationed at MCO, did you live in Atlanta? I know this question may sound stupid as Atlanta is based at Atlanta but I noticed you were stationed at MCO and it would be ridiculous to commute from PHX. I remember Kristie saying that she lived in FL sometime ago but I don't know if you were with her yet.

JEP · August 25th, 2004, 22:15

Doug,

I know you've probably heard it a million times already but the pictures from teh road is an outstanding feature. The work you and others put into the site produces a high quality result. Thanks a million for providing the insight you and others have.

One question regarding the pictures though. Did you fly with more than one captain this trip and if so, what kind of response did you get when you were snapping pictures? For that matter, what kind of reaction/response did you get from anyone when they see you taking pictures all the time? So the next 4 days do we get to see Doug cutting the grass and doing the laundry? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Looking forward to the next trip.

- Jim

Nope! I lived in Orlando when I was based in ATL my first year at Delta, then I transferred to MCO to fly the 737.

We didn't move to PHX until 2000. Actually, I never REALLY officially lived in FL because when I got hired by Delta, I moved out of my apartment in Milwaukee, I kinda crashed at Kristie's house. Then the mail started coming there and the rest is history! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks man! Seriously, stuff like the above paragraph is what motivates me.

[/ QUOTE ]

I had the same captain all trip as we normally do it. He thought the idea was pretty funny.

[ QUOTE ]
For that matter, what kind of reaction/response did you get from anyone when they see you taking pictures all the time?

[/ QUOTE ]

No one really seemed to notice. I wasn't taking pictures of people because you legally have to get consent forms, let them know what you're going to do with the image, etc -- so I more or less snap photos of things. Mostly things you wouldn't normally see from a perspective you'd never get unless you're a professional pilot on the road. I'm sure you cats have seen a million pictures of airplanes, clouds, terminals, etc, but I wanted to present 'a day in the life' from a perspective you probably haven't seen before.

Ha! Do you REALLY wanna see that? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Looks like the big gap doesn't appear on my page if I only send pix from the phone. Considering I'm paying $.25 for each, I hope you're all enjoying it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

When we got to Boise today, a passenger asked if I was done. Told him we still had 2 legs / 7 hours to go. His response: "Yeah well, it's gotta be nice in the paycheck."

Oh if only he knew. Think I'm going to start carrying a paycheck with me so I can show it off. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]

Doug Taylor · August 26th, 2004, 00:44

I'm still working on the problem. The big problem is that it's from a European software designer and methinks his native tongue isn't English!

norskman · August 26th, 2004, 00:46

Bogberto,

How on earth (or in the air [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) did you snag that awesome picture of the CAL 767?

"Continental 27 Heavy, a little to the left, slow down a tad, gotcha!"

Kristie · August 26th, 2004, 01:28

bog.. did you check the sizing of the photos? maybe they have to be 640x480 in size in order to show up like the camera photos do...

Did Doug have a Sugar Momma?

Kristie · August 26th, 2004, 01:34

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] yuppers! suga momma for a good 4 years actually.. drove him to/from the airport, paid for food, utils, rent.. etc etc!! I was glad when he finally moved his car down to Orlando and when he finally decided to start chipping in on bills... he was so frugal by then, it was hard to get him to commit.. hahaha [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Kristie,

Is there any chance I could get you to hang out with my fiance'? Kinda like an osmosis thing...You know, kinda convince her that being a sugar momma is great and noble thing...pays off in the long run...good for the marriage...ends pilot hunger...etc?

aviategw · August 26th, 2004, 07:28

BTW,

Doug, these are awesome! I always kinda figured the pilots had a place to go in ATL. I'm in and out of there all the time, and I always see pilots going to and from places, but I never saw them gathering anywhere. Now I know that there are big, comfy lazy-boys to be had!

Thanks for the insight!

someday, this is for me. someday...
