No - especially if the company in question may look at you as a younger and cheaper alternative.

Wow. A really easy joke just sailed right over the head of the resident pilot in the UA Pilot Q&A thread.

I hate to say it, but it passed over me.

Slingbox is the answer.

If she is a true Longhorn, there is no way that is happening. Do y'all have season tickets?

Thanks! I saw that plane parked at E on Saturday when I picked him up from IAH. I'll let him know the significance of the plane. Much appreciated. Who in the 'Box has flown on the 75th anniversary jet?

No, as long as you think you can actually do the work.

It's a semi government agency so the cheaper doesn't fall into play and it's more bashing others heads. One big advantage is that the most quilified people are Brits on visas so they can't apply and the Americans are working for the consultants actaully doing the design work.

This week's dumbest criminal.

I've been trying to catch up with the Box for over a day now. Not so easy.
Mom leaves tomorrow, son is giving me h3ll over going to soccer practice instead of his girlfriend's house, it's hot outside and my mom is constantly closing the windows because she's cold.

Have I mentioned lately that I hate working for an airline during the summer! Too much work, too many people in the gate area, dualing with AirTran (they use one of our gates) at boarding time, co-workers that drive you nuts and a serious lack of sleep.

I surprised myself last night....I must have gotten a dozen compliments over my boarding of the EWR flight and my PA voice. I must be doing something right.

^ May you teach many of the GA's at EWR how to make good annoucements? "Blah blah blah blah blah Continental. Blah blah blah blah blah gate blah blah blah blah." (it's not the PA system either)

She said no just a minute ago. She added that we could just buy regularly priced tickets when football season is over. :p

You could find an expat bar to watch the game.
