Aw come on! I'll give you $20 if at the Breakfast with Gary you jump up and yell sic semper tyrannis! Then storm out.

That's perfect! If you'll let me film it I'll throw in $40.

 

[Quiet Flight]

If you're so sure of that, you should take a special trip to Dallas just to say hi.

Save me a lunch plate?

 

[slaquer5]

That would be pretty sweet. But I think I'll have to pass.

Don't forget our dollar bet

Don't forget our dollar bet

I actually did forget. But now I'm looking forward to collecting my dollar. Thanks for the reminder!

Hey, not to pile on or anything, but in your profile, shouldn't you change your listing under "Curr Position"? I mean, "B717 Copilot" isn't really your current position anymore, since they're all either gone to Delta or parked awaiting transition. Maybe you should change it to something more appropriate for the next 30-odd days...

I dunno, how about something more current, like "ass-sitter," or "paid-to-be-sittin'," or something? Of course, there's the always-poplular "anti-SWA crusader" or something like that. You know?

Is SWA still self pay for type?

Perfect!

At least it's a better description....

Never has been .

They just require that you have one before class starts .

But then I am betting you knew that .

Nothing personal against Gary, but seeing that in person would be beyond awesome! That's the kind of thing that legends are made of. Pilots all over the country would be talking about it for years to come.

Is this actually a real thing? You have to sit and have breakfast with Gary during training?

Yes. It's sort of amusing really. The upper/middle management that is present get really fired up over Gary's presence. I half thought Kim Jong-un was about to enter the room.

Wow. Cults are weird.

 

[SWA Bubba]

Wow. Cults are weird.

Yes they are. And you didn't even get to the part where you have to sacrifice a live puppy. Didn't you see the video on YouTube that explains the process?

Hey! Don't you remember the first rule about ****'s Breakfast Club?
NEVER talk about ****'s Breakfast Club.
Oh drat! I just broke the first rule... Time to find some stray kittens.
