"Folks (he likes that word), I know we were headed for New York, but that was before I decided to fly to El Paso." "I will not take that flight without International Civil Aviation Organization observers monitoring the FAA and sitting in my jumpseat." "No American pilot should be allowed to fly overseas without passing a global test." (Addresses passengers again) "I can see from the way you yokels are dressed that no one on board today makes more than $200,000 per year. If you did, I would charge you a higher fare." "I have a plan to get you to your destination. I can't tell you what it is right now, but, trust me, I have a plan." "My wife is onboard today. She's the one with the big mouth." "Our copilot today is 'Babyface' Edwards. He's not a real pilot, but he will be handling any legal claims you may have if you bump your head or stub you toe." "I love the idea that METAR is a French term that translates to 'Aviation Routine Meteorological Report'. " ---------------------------------------------------- Incidentally, METAR's are hourly aviation weather reports (if you're a non aviation type) ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:37:05 PM PST US From: "Cory Emberson" Subject: RE: TeamGrumman-List: Kerry as an Airline Pilot --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Cory Emberson" Made me laugh - thanks!
