re: #31 Egregious Philbin

Yeah, I did 14 years at an airline that was a regional, then a national, then a major, and now basically runs the largest airline in the country. Pilots can be real dicks. I did a lot of work with the black pilot association and you would be amazed how some white pilots really hated that we had 8 black pilots to their 1200 white guys…

I just looked up an old friend who was a pilot for American and see that he got busted and thrown off his London/Chicago flight for being drunk in 2009—article said “the unfamiliar tipple was stronger than he was used to drinking.” Yah, right—the guy was a noted drinker. I remember another friend ended up on a flight he was piloting to the Caribbean and was scared shitless the whole time.
