You will receive your framed certificate of :-: from Rolle Yes soon (whenever he gets back from pillaging and plundering Tristan da Cunha). Congratulations!

Do I learn the secret handshake then, or is that at 5K?

Would have been delighted to join you for a beer or 5, but ufortunately am stuck some 3,400 RDMs away in deepest, darkest Wiltshire, UK (& already on beer #4).... ;)

Very much so - although I've heard a few sirens, I'm definitely not accustomed to hearing more than one on a landing.

We landed HARD then stopped at the end of the runway for about 5 min. Before going to the gate.

All is well that ends well. I think it knocked the roll out of eyes though.

Yikes! Glad to hear that you made it through OK.

I wonder if the pause at the end of the runway was to confirm that the landing gear or engines were still functional enough to get you to the gate??

My recollection of the handshake is that it very much resembles the motions made while drinking. :D

"The FAs in the jump-seat looked at each other and grabbed their harnasses. " Now THAT's the part that would scare me. Glad you're safe and sound.

Oh look. Two new job p:rolleyes:stings that I can do and would like to do but of course I'm sure I'm "overqualified". I don't have the energy at the moment to deal with the on-line applications and tweeking my resume and it's late on Friday too. They'll be off on Monday anyway.

I discovered that they all use Twitter 'in-character', which is kind of fun.

Note to self: find those Twitter accounts.

A hippopottermus is a cool pottermus. :-:

I'm not sure if I am supposed to be in the Executive Club Lounge (shared between QR, EK and LH at IAH, with no :-: Gold signage), but the lady didn't really check my BP too carefully, and here I am with some füd and a Warsteiner Dunkel. ^

Plus 1. Me too! Crikey, moses. I'd be pooping myself big time if the FAs looked scared!
