There are no words for this level of stupidity. The canned Northwelta pilot was Tweeting.

If you're going to take your career down in flames, at least be funny while you're doing it. This guy was hilarious.

Just found out that tomorrow's CLT-DEN is a lunch flight on US. ^

What did they serve you on SFO-CLT? I got a pathetic excuse for a meal in F - a pretty small chicken sandwich (a piece of chicken with cheese melted on it) with a bag of chips. Nothing else.

I find it somewhat fitting that on today, my last day of leisure (:rolleyes:) before I start my new job, I am scrubbing the crappers.

If this is real, i'm speechless.

Look at the byline, though:


WASHINGTON (Exaggerated Press)
Maybe some Onion-esque journalism?

Aviation Week just tweeted calling it a hoax.

Perhaps, nonetheless though I love this:

• Flyboy09

Holy Moses! Just realized we overshot Minneapolis a tad.

• Flyboy09

Just turned plane around. Hope to knock off a chapter or two of Glenn Beck's new book before landing.

Really got a good chuckle ....

Option of BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Slaw and Chips (probably what you had, though mine was pretty tasty and I thought an okay size), or Cobb Salad with Turkey.

Assumption: this is about the Ryan Howard trap.

Meh, it was very close and these things are going to happen. It wasn't an egregious mistake like the off the bag one in the ALCS.

Baseball doesn't lend itself very well to instant replay. :-: It's good that they use it for close home runs, and I'm OK with that, but it would be very cumbersome to open it further.

Holy crap! My usual repair place wanted $700 to replace the shocks on my truck; a place down the road using the same parts wants $400. I think I know where I'm going.

Just make sure they offer the same warranty / service guarantee.

Got to love running into a coworker who happened to be covering this week for me at one of my regular clients at DEN. Haven't seen this guy in ages, so it was great that we ended up at DEN at the same time. That made my out of the way routing today even more worthwhile.

He's also a UA 1P and had no idea about UA's DEQM promotion. I got him signed up for that and he might make 1K for the first time ever this year now.
