One hour martinizing...this line was borrowed from KRAMER in a Seinfeld TV show episode...watch them all and when this one comes up, you will have a double laugh.
airbubba. ur correct about usair east...funny thing is after 911 and the shutdown of DCA for three weeks, things got hairy and many captains were demoted, other pilots furloughed.
of course America West hadn't yet hired some pilots during that time, yet those they hired LATER made captain.
So, the terrorists won again.
The reason a former captain could keep his four stripes was monetary. The company wouldn't pay for a new coat jacket with three stripes.
PS...the seinfeld episode is called: "The Suicide"...very funny
