It's too bad they had to make new rules.Flechas said:Being at fault or not, some changes need to be made, and that shouldn't be the reason for not making changes so far. It would suck to lose more pilots because of this.
I saw something relevent today at the "fleet farm". I was looking at buying a Fram oil filter for my wife's car and some old dude had his cart parked in front of the book hanging off the shelf that listed all the Fram oil filters, so I had to wait until this soap opera unfolded.
He was lost and some Fleet Farm employee comes over and asks..."Can I help you?"
He says, "Yea, I'm looking for an oil filter for a 2000 Ford."
She opens that book and gets to the 2000 Ford section and asks, "Is it a pickup truck, mini-van or a sedan?"
He acts surprised, as if Ford made more than one vehicle and they go back and forth...eventually the chick gets this guy a model number on the Fram oil filter.
The chick asks me if I need any help and I say, "No, I just need to look my filter up in the book."
Finally, the old man has his cart out of the way and I can use the book to look up what I need, I find it and grab it. Within minutes, the wife and I are in our car...paid for the filter, paid for the oil and we on our way.
So, the wife and I are going down the road and I say, "Honey, when the chick from Fleet Farm saw the old dude stranded in the Fram filter isle...how come she didn't ask, 'Who won the 1958 world series or who was the 24th president of the United States?'"
My wife looked at me like, "What the hell are you getting at now?"
I said, "Don't you remember the John Carpenter movie, "They Live"?
She goes, "Yea?"
And I said, "When the hell does an American male who has been on this planet for over 65 years, need somebody to hand feed him the way to a Fram oil filter in a Fleet Farm?"
They are here...
