You weren't in cattle class though were you? Flying Bus or 1st class is like flying with a totally different airline to flying economy. In economy they more or less throw the drinks at you...in Bus class they ask if I would like my Grand Marnier warming. :)

The 4 flights I took last week were all tiny little 2+2 regional jets so no posh seats available - had to slum it with the great unwashed (or more likely they thought they were slumming it with me).

Got all that too and still employed in the industry after 13yrs. Are you or are you one of the 10,000 unemployed pilots out there?

I've also flown with some very competent female pilots and knew one who had only one arm but was still able to out-fly able-bodied pilots. She was legendary around PamAm at MEM.

I heard that Kittyhawk was a pretty crappy outfit. We had a few guys go there just before they folded. I believe Kalitta rescued them later.

Oh he was a troll, and is now gone.

The pilot license thing was a load of old bollocks, and he was let go before I had a chance to catch him out on another thread :D

He probably just googled the 727 and then googled another airline that used them in the 2000s after I tried to trip him up on his type rating!

I'm sure he was. Nothing sounded right somehow but I guess some kiddos like to play!

Aye, he was more than a little inconsistent with his stories to say the least!

I flew with CityJet last week from Dundee to London. The flight was only an hour and a half on a tiny commuter plane but they fed you and gave out free alcohol! :thumbsup:

Ah, but he's amazingly consistent in style. The only troll I can pick out ... he joined BE originally the same day I did. :lol:

I would know him if I ran into him in an airport/casino/racetrack anywhere... too bad he never goes outside his mother's basement. :rofl:

Unless he's in Hawaii following his daughter's modeling career ... and taking pics of his dinner/beer that night. :D

Well I will surely recognize his wife.. she must love having her photo plastered all over t'interwebs. I'd put a contract out on that.. I'll bet she has the connections too.

oops, forgot, banned him again, so he can't reply anymore. I guess we shouldn't taunt.

Dude... you shouldn't mess with the mota over the border, do you know they don't feed you in prison down there?
But, if you do make it back, bring me a bag of Hot Nuts, the lime & chili ones? And a tube of Vitacilina.. that stuff cures everything.

Fair enough. I'll rephrase. You're the only previously banned member that I can pick out when he rejoins.
