Zipper Tie

[Booker]

are you that lazy that you can't do a tie once a day?

Yeah, I am so lazy that I can't "do" a tie once a day. Any other brain busters?

I do the zip tie cause I work for AirTran. The planes are dirty, the concourses are crappy (ever been to Midway?), heck, our CEO looks like he's one meal or mixed drink away from death, and our official uniforms are cheap and falling apart.

If you can't beat em, join em. Passengers who pay the low fares know what they're getting. They aren't expecting us to look sharp. It's just WalMart.

Call me what you want, but it's clip on for me. No more ring-around-the-collar, I sweat less on the neck, and it beats that 1"knot that eventually develops.
If people want to talk about appearances, let's talk about the guys with nicely tied ties, but are so fat that you can't believe they pass a medical. Or pilots who walk around with shirts that have more wrinkles than Clint Eastwoods face (before even working).

You guys actually untie your ties every day? Why not just loosen it instead?

Exactly!

Ever since I went through the the side Cockpit window (727) in an evac and my "tie" almost strangled me I'm a true believer of "clip ons"!

 

[Semore Butts]

VNE hit it on the head!

I'm hoping when mohamad atta jerks on my tie he will get a handfull of tie while I grab a hand full of crash ax!

Clip on verses crash ax..... Yep, like those odds as opposed to getting the shiit strangled out of me.

 

[DirtyBeech]

Exactly!

No joke. I thought a well done tie knot was good for at least two rotations.

C'mon, Atta's not an owner, and we don't carry crash axes...

I see it now.

Terrorist on a frac. "Take me to X airport or I will kill you."

Pilot of frac. "Yes sir. Will you require a limo or any catering when you get there?"

Mine has been good since January!

Mine has been good since January!

You know, I wondered about that on our last tour...

 

[Semore Butts]

Damn! No crashax?

I've been away awhile, I thought we had them on the Hawker?

I do have a 9mm in the military, but they give us that shiitty practice ammo.

OK, I'll hit him with my blackberry/cell phone/big fat pilot wrist watch/ big fat wallet/ or I'll tell him "hey! I'm a pilot". If I'm lucky maybe I can give him a fire extinguisher enema!

Either way, I don't like having a "noose" around my neck.

 

[Ultra Grump]

Well, I wouldn't know about the Hawker, I'm just a lil' plane peon. We don't rate a crash ax.
