2 Questions:

Do you read Patrick Smith's "Ask the Pilot" column at Salon.com? If so, what do you think?

Are there alot of Grateful Dead fans amongst the pilots at CO? Flying SNA-EWR a few weeks ago we had a bit of a rough landing and the pilot said something along the lines of "that was a 9-mile skid on a 10-mile ride" (He's Gone) and I thought that was one of the coolest things ever, being a Head myself.
