Airtran and the 717

[FarginDooshbahg]

Spoken like a true Dooshbahg, are you kidding me? Stick to downloading Brittney Spears and N'sync.

It's not surprising that this is all your simple mind can comprehend. If I don't care for VH, then I must listen to bullsh!t pop. That's cool, though. Who gives a sh!t what you think. Go on over to the VH boards and you all can circle jerk over a bunch of has-beens.

At least if joe_pilot and I disagree, we can do it with some style. He posts a link to an absolutely amazing guitarist. You immediately think N'sync. Good job showing what absolute zero lack of ANY musical tastes you posses. Sorry to keep you from your circle jerk. Better get on over there in a hurry and get a hard on looking at photos of DLR in his spandex pants.

You like the ones that die prematurely only?

Nope, I could give you a long list of alive and well guitarist that I think are awesome. But what would that prove? That I also have the abilitiy to choose current, relavent musicians as well?

Besides, who cares what I think, you think or anyone thinks? Right?

I would say something about how roomy the cockpit is compared to the 737, but last time I said that, CanyonBlue called a FATSO.

No... that was me who called you FATSO. NO... wait... I called you "TUBBY". Nevermind...

Ok, I admit I bit the bait and am at least a little responsible for the 7500 so I'll at least add something about the 17.

Never flew it, but flew in the first delivery a/c in late '99 I think. I remember talking with the pilots and them telling me what a great plane they thought it was. Living in Philly at the time and going to Tampa 2 or 3 times a month meant I spent alot of time in it.

Sorry to see it come to and end.

I have to put in my two cents about VH.

VH, in their prime, was one of the best live stage shows ever. Two poor imigrant brothers, a bleach blond jew, and short fat bass player ruled the world of rock in the eighties. Eddie's guitar work on his early albums had more anger, swagger, and testosterone than 20 Eminem Albums. Listen to their song "On Fire" and tell me you didn't feel that way at age 18 when you went out to take on the world.

Steeler Fan,

I also remember something about the amount of Snickers that you eat.

Snickers and other related foods help prevent hair loss! Maybe you should have a few from time to time while there's still some left!

 

[75M]

I've decided I can't be fat AND bald so I'm trying to lose some weight. But judging by your physique and that head of hair you have, the Snickers must be working!!

I definitely could hibernate for awhile and be just fine, then again, so could you (in a different cave, of course, because I don't swing that way!)--Is that better, Jeff?

Bears at play!?...

...I hope this doesn't turn into the submission part of bear activity!

 

[Sensei]

I heard we will eventually convert completely to the 737 in about 8-10 years. I've actually heard that from more than one source. I would love to see the 717 stick around for a while. It's a phenominal airplane!

I get what I deserve for not proof-reading before posting...Jeff, are you still living in the 'Burgh?

I've been watching the nature channel a little too much...

We just have basic cable at the commuter condo in DEN!

STL PIT in the TWA DC9...

I get what I deserve for not proof-reading before posting...Jeff, are you still living in the 'Burgh?

...actually, I never lived there, I just used to give you a lift on the jumpseat a lot to PIT. I spent a lot of time at "Wings, Spuds and Suds". However, the hot sandwiches at the Holiday Inn next door were better and cheaper.

Are you still flying for Airways?

I've been flying out of DEN for 2 years with Allegiant Air, but will be starting out of SFB/MCO in May due to a base closure.

I miss the Red Tail!

Cheers,

Jeff

Once again, TWA guys are awesome (don't tell 75M that, or he'll get a big head!).

Yes, I'm still flying for "Airways"---AirTran Airways (US Airways furloughed me Dec 31, 2001)--I feel very blessed to be at AirTran, and there are some really good people over here.

Good luck at Allegient and the move to the new crew base.

You may see me on your jumpseat from BWI to MCO. Karma is going to pay off for me starting in May!
