Here's another picture of me the first time I saw Miss Kitty Kat with her box. It was totally NOT awesome!

I assume he meant Door Carpet.
Mercury PDK has always had very slow service from my experience. Atlantic PHL, Atlantic LAS (formerly LAS Exec), Signature DTW, often seem to come up short on service (have to ask for fuel several times, forget pull-up times, have to track down line personel for...
Once, we got called to pick up some freight, and they, uhm, said we needed to get there, like, right away cuz', uhm, they like needed it really bad, and, like, when we got there, we waited for 6 hours for it to show up. That, like, sucked. But we got to watch Girlz Gone Wild in the pilot lounge...
Ad Hoc refers to On-Demand Freight, i.e. mostly auto parts, 24/7 (2 a.m. as often as 2 p.m.), no life, hooked to a paiger etc. etc. It's an excellent way to build time and acquire experience if you're single. For married guys with family, however, beware of succumbing to AIDS (Aviation-Induced...
As far as the Lears go, I heard Bob Ruhe feels he was rooked in the deal. 2 of them sat in Mercury's hangar @ FWA for a couple of years, until Corporate Wings acquired Mercury and made them move them out (on flatbeds, from what I heard). They all need new engines, and none of them are RVSMed...
I think they actually tried to keep their operators in line, but it was like herding cats. There was too much opportunity for abuse of the arrangement. The DBA I flew for was actually tossed from their certificate a few years ago, and investigated by the St. Louis FSDO (it came down to one crew...
My "Fantasy FBO":
Denise Richards in short pants marshals me in.
I walk in, and see Catherine Bell, Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba are working the counter.
The mens' room has private toilets with doors, internet monitors (on swivel brackets), and a video monitor to see if pax arrive when...
A couple of managers at the FBO's are a$$hole morons, and ought to be fired and sent back to the grill at McDonalds. Business is business, and green money is good no matter who dishes it out. Been there.
Went for a quick bite to eat at a nautical-themed seafood restaurant, in uniform. Was waiting for the hostess to seat us when a woman came up and asked us kind of testily "Can we please get some menus?" I said "Yo b*tch, I got yer menu right heah!" (Not really).
When I got hired at FLOPS (4/02), I was told 12-18 months. I left after 3 years, with no upgrade in sight (the next guy in line to upgrade was about 100 seniority numbers ahead of me, and that gap had changed very little for over a year). When I left, there were about 200 behind me. If I were...
Regardless of Crossfields' experience and accomplishments, one has to admit there's a bit of the "WTF?!" factor here. It just goes to show that none of us are infallible. Godspeed to him.
I was dragged along into going to a topless dancer club once (as a married man, I normally don't do that, although I went to more than a couple in my single days). I figured "what the hell; there's no harm in looking." As I walked across the parking lot, I suddenly had the notion to take off my...
Area to stay away from: Cleveland. My sincerest condolences. Make sure you buy a heavy-duty snow shovel, the biggest snow blower you can find, and plenty of Prozac!
