Wu Tang clan anyone??

Actually, Wesley Snipes is the blackest motha on the planet!! Lol
-
Uh, sir, those were "peaceful" protests......or so that's what the response was when checking into the hotel for a Portland layover and asking the agent if there were still any riots ongoing lol
-
Oh and all the EV/solar/energy efficient booolshit cause, well, up here in the Great White North that's real beneficial....lol
-
Another thought on all this is how media portrays all these events i.e. "in your face" all day long. Compare that (as far as MSM coverage) w/ last nights Blackhawk crash x 2 that's killed more individuals than Nashville....
-
Actually, that is the point....or do I just turn a blind eye to it all
-
Well what's the fing point doing that when finance is closed anyway.
-
And that, my friends, is key...congrats on "living in that weird spot"!!

True, but then you start right back where you started on the seniority list where the QOL is minimal. Pay may be 40-50k more per year BUT that's based on working the full schedule per month (which I don't/won't do). Ultimately the 70/20/10 rule applies anyway....70% of folks are a pleasure to fly with, 20% are 50/50, and 10% are on the avoid list!! And when you only plan to do this job for a few more years anyway and retire in the mid-50's to enjoy life....what's the point!!
-
Ha! Which is why I limit the pain to 2-4 days per month!!
-
Hmmm….paid sick leave, free non rev travel, 4 weeks paid vacation, an extra paycheck each month, if I want to make more money to buy that boat/airplane I have the OPTION to do so, company pays 16% into 401k. Anything else I missed?

Man I love librarians.....

Ahh, yes, I did forget to mention you still have to be in the ARC, which for me provides a few more days of obligation which I still "enjoy" (the flying that is). The triad (family, airline, military) is a careful balance. Careful guys because the years go by too fast....life is short
-
Ding Ding....to each their own but when you hit a certain age (as I have), you begin to realize that QOL is way more important that the almighty dollar. My colleagues look at me aghast when I tell them I'm happy working 2-4 days for the airlines per month. But what about all that money you're giving away?? My answer, don't need it, not gonna take it with me, don't have 3 ex wives, no loans/mortgages, no boats/airplanes, nest egg is built, etc etc. This is where I differ from the "norm" IMO. In that I mean my time spent w/ friends/family and doing hobbies that I may not be able to do when I'm 55-65 are the priority.

Till that next deployment comes rearing its ugly head.....it's gonna get real interesting the next few years

Just threw out some No Doze I found in the medicine cabinet a few years ago. Aaahhh...the memories
-
Got a heads up on this a few months ago and locked in 3 separate Vanguard brokered CDs at 4.5-5% w/ maturities between 6-9 months your choice. Not bad if you have alot of extra coin laying around

I wonder if there isn’t something deeper which is causing this “turmoil” in the Chicago public school system……
-
I just had a flashback of circa '04 at the Deid w/ reflective belts/cargo shorts in the chow hall and other such orders which I apparently blatantly "violated" Lol
-
Yahtzee!!
