I remeber seeing a Calvin and Hobbs cartoon with Calvin in the cockpit of an airliner. IT was just one pane, and all it said was

Switches - Check
Bottons - Check
Little colored lights - Check

I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a copy of it or can tell me that they have seen it so I know I'm not making it up.

We need to pen a comic strip called "Kelvin and Hobbes" — the adventures of a freight pilot getting paid by the hour! :)

On IOE at an hourly company.

"Well, you know Vso, Vs, Vx, Vy, Vfe, all the Va speeds, Vno, Vmo, all the flaps speeds and glide speeds, but do you know Vmp?"
The new pilot pulls out the manual and frantically starts flipping through, after several minutes, he turns to the check airman.
"No, what's Vmp."
"Velocity of Maximum Pay, son. Slow your ass down, we're paid by the hour!"

How was your breakfast date with the trolly dolly? :)

(this thread creep is exactly why I love JC and the haters in the "Where did X go" can kiss my butt! :))

It was super, thanks for asking!

Make sure you ask him about his gay scarf sometime.

I like that!

I don't know why more companies don't go to duty pay. Really makes more sense if you want to run a fast operation. The pilots can go at full bore and not worry about losing money. :)

They make him wear an ascot like Fred from Scooby Doo? Didn't they figure that some of their male stews might be straight? :)

I've generally found when I fly with a straight male flight attendant, one of the first things they talk about is:

1. Their girlfriend.
2. The knockers on that chick over there.
3. If you didn't get hints 1 and 2, how they're straight.

They're the exception rather than the rule, I'd say.

Flying with straight male flight attendants is the funniest thing in the world because of that.
 
We have a gay guy working at CommutAir that you would swear was straight. He goes on vacations with all of his girl friends about once a month and comes back with lots of pics of hot babes, in bikinis and not... Great guy

Best. Cartoon. Ever.

I grew up on Calvin and Hobbes. Had all their books. I've been thinking about buying them all again, to keep as a collection.
