    A friend of mine is a Captain for a certain airline HQ'd in Atlanta- He texted me yesterday about new pilot going through the training program threw a fit because his preferred "non-binary" pronouns weren't listed in the documentation. I don't how many of you are aware of this, but one of the top qualities of a pilot is keeping their cool in adverse situations. Really hoping he doesn't show the same lack of constraint when Air Traffic Control mis-genders him, which I guarantee they will.

    Not thrilled that mentally ill folks are pilots. Wait till one flies into a mountain on purpose

    Had a long delay in Houston during the storm of the century. Watched a large group of KLM attendants boarding a 747. Damn.

    They ain’t Alaska and that’s a good thing.

    When I was 20, one of my first jobs when I moved to Seattle was groundskeeper and pool and spa operator for the Red Lion Hotel when it was on the corner of hywy 99 and s 188th across from the airport.

    We had all kinds of different stewardesses stay at the hotel but the Martin Air stewardesses would always stay at the Red Lion Hotel and would sunbathe topless on the pool deck in the mornings when nobody was out there.

    Of course, it was my job to make sure the chemicals were perfect and the pool and deck were spotless and all the flower beds were raked and the flowers were fed and watered every morning, so everything was perfect for our guests!

    Let's just say, I took my job very seriously. It was a great job for a young man back in the 80s

    Hopefully the mentally fragile ones get weeded out and all the woke platitudes are just there to appease the SJW screamers.

    I was staying at a Houston Hotel that was the home hotel for Singapore Airlines and when a flight crew for one of the international jumbo jet flight crew checked in. No one was within decades of retirement age.
