Career Pilot Anthem # 3

[Mesabi Miner]

To the music of Phil Collin's "Against All Odds."


"Against All Saabs" - The Frustrated Captain's DTW Ramp Song

How can I just let you walk away? Can't believe you don't have wands...
When I sit here waiting for a start from you..... Ooooo ooooohhhhh.
You're the only one, working in your zone...

How can you just walk away from me? And make me shut the engine down?
Now the folks all think there's somethin' wrong..
Oh just see them frown...
You're the only one working in your zone...

So take a look at your watch... Or are you in the dark?
And are your buddies in the breakroom... when there's 12 Saabs waiting to park?
So take a look at my wing... you see that stray bag cart?
Won't you go move it to prevent a ding, oh I think that's very smart!!!

I wish I could just make you turn around... I said, 'Push tail South' you jerk!
There's so much I need to say to you... I wish your headset worked.
You're the only one working in your zone....

So take a look at me now... Our CG's way out of wack...
You say the tail stand is jammed?? No, don't go get the jack!
You'll have to audit the bags... and let me know what we have...

But to wait for you is all I can do and Dude, can you change the lav?
Take a good look at me now... Cause I'll still be chocked right here...
An ontime departure is against all odds, we're the airline of the year...

Ohhhh.....

To the tune of Gilligan's Island:
>
>Just sit right back and you'll hear the tale
>Of a typical Jetstream trip
>(We) Stuff nineteen paying passengers
>Aboard our tiny ship.
>
>No Drinks, no Stu, no Cockpit Door
>Not a single luxury
>Like Or-ville and Wilbur Wright
>As primitive as can be
>As primitive as can be
>
>My armrest's stuck, my back is shot
>I have a second job
>The engines are not making torque
>I wish I flew a Saab
>
>We wrote one up, the boss is mad
>It's me he wants to fire
>I should have stayed in dental school
>The majors will not hire
>The majors will not hire
>
>The freon's out, the flows are bad
>No damper is installed
>The passengers are turning green
>The new guy is appalled
>
>The pressure spikes, the radar's shot
>The brand new engine quit
>I hope I live to tell the tale
>Of a typical Jetstream trp.
>A-board our ti-ny ship!

No worries... I wrote "Against All Saabs" on a highspeed back in '02. Now let's see. I need something that rhymes with, "I need to put this USA Today away..." Oops, I got it...
