Animal poo ain’t quite the same as human. That ain’t Elsie dropping a deuce on the sidewalk. What’s remarkable is how Sodomcisco has managed to avoid an outbreak of cholera. City leaders would literally have not tolerated this $hit 130 years ago. They were a lot more civilized and sane then.

I was in the East Bay this week. Masks and fear. Still. Insanity. I hate the place.

OK, knuckleheads, who here thinks this pilot was broadcasting his opinion intentionally?

Lawton undoubtably took personal offense to , “gd liberal f—cks.”

Kalifornia taxes people for the money they earn while in the states boundaries, like pilots.

Exactly, violating the sterile cockpit rule tends to get your flight featured on an episode of “Air Disasters”.

Stick to business, plenty of time to criticize the Bay Area, or praise a flight attendant’s rear area, when you are on the ground.

I think he will be available. Although, what he said is not wrong, he’ll be fired over it.

Well, he got the facts right, but his editorial content may get him into some hot water.

Maybe not in the good old days when Herb Kelleher or Jim Parker ran Southwest but these days, who knows.

Have to say, it's really jarring contrast to have to fly into the insanity, filth and degeneration that is today's San Francisco from more or less normal areas of America.

Cant imagine doing it as an airline pilot flying in several times a week from Fort Worth

Frontier and yes.

[DoodleBob]

The pilot sure sounds like he coulda been you.

[DoodleBob]

What’s his FR nick?

[who knows what evil?]

So?

[SkyDancer]

Oh I’ve mentioned it to crew before; it’s one trip I never bid for. I hate going there. I’d rather fly in to Chicago (ORD), at night, in a blinding snow storm, with one engine out.

[DoodleBob]

You just made me think of the end of Airplane...

[SkyDancer]

Well just remember, we get to the site of the accident first.

[DoodleBob]

You are truly terrible.

[SkyDancer]

That’s why we’re careful.
