Hang him.... hang him high.

The video "How an Airline Captain should think and act" is this for real?

Chapter 1. melting down hotel soap to make home size bars.

Chapter 2. flight attendants are like dog poop, the older they get, the easier they are to pick up.

I have to laugh. Anyone who would buy this video should be deported just out of respect for our gene pool.

Hahaha...what a video! What a concept! I just wish I would have seen it before I became a Caravan Captain for life!

Thanks...I always thought it was "oriented".

It is. orientated is an illiterate version of oriented. the extra syllable adds nothing, nor modifies the meaning of the actual word. it is in fact useless. However, if enough people use an incorrect form of a word, eventually dictionaries begin to include it. I'd be willing to bet that you couldn't find "orientated" in a dictionary published 30 years ago.

That's funny, me and my step mom went around and around over "orientated" about 25 years ago. At the time she was a school teacher and I was just a punk working my way through an AA degree program. Must have been a lucky guess!

Apparently it's been around since at least the 19th century, and it seems to be pretty common in Britain.


Like you said . . . the illiterate version.



Ailerongirl? What's the word on orientate?



Back to the subject of the thread... I'm not aware of an aviation program at the University of Memphis. (They changed the name from Memphis State University for the football players. Now, when they are asked where they go to school, they can just make that dumb sound . . . ummmmm . . . to answer. )



In the country illegally = invitation to leave country.

All the other suspicious stuff = offer he can't refuse to leave country.

Good riddance.

SO which side were you arguing?

Bwaaahhaahaa, what a crock.

Everybody knows when something is "oriented", it turns yellow and grows buck teeth.

Uhhh...that an orientation was not the same as someone being career orientated.

Speaking of orientation...

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...

Sandman's avatar is kinda hot. Obviously this guy had some bad ideas, but I wonder if he was a lone psycho or not. Like someone else said, you'd think Al Qaeda would give him more money. I wonder if he's a wannabe 9/11 type.

Either way, it's good that we got him.

Sort of like pronoucing the 't' in often.

Nu

perhaps in a sense, however pronouncing (or not) the t which exists in the correct spelling of the word "often" is somewhat understandable, the t after all *is* there. Adding an unnecessary and meaningless syllable to a perfectly adequate word is like saying oftenten when you really mean often

Are you kidding me? Is this the kind of crap the moderators allow on here?

What's your baggage?

Watch your language ultrarunner

Ship that mofo towel-head home. In fact, box him up and use FedEx so he's there overnight!

Watch your lack or PC there ultra.

Well glad to see you are not a democrat at least.

Hey, aint halloween just around da corner?

Wait, in the country illegally? Let's give him food stamps, medicaid, free schooling and anything else we can think of. But by all means, do not let anyone in who will pay taxes and contribute to our GDP.

I think he has to speak Spanish for that, tho.

 

[CRJDog]

Maybe the guy was just airline wannabe geek that had a problem with his finances. You think owl-kay-duh would let a cell member run around broke?

Yeah like John Travolta without the finance troubles.

 

[Bluto]

He must be a part-time student.

"A lot of people go to college for 7 years." "I know, they're called doctors."

How about the racist undertones of that message? That enough baggage for ya? There's no need for junk like that on a message board.

Is there an ERAU branch there? Sounds like one of their guys.
