Delta #1 retires

The true BAMF's, you'll never know because they're quiet, and they make it seem like YOU made the decision.

Another one of my favorite captains had a situation in BRU. We had a drunken and belligerent passenger and instead of him heading out to handle it, he said, "Doug, go take care of that. Your decision is mine so don't screw it up".

Ended up denying boarding to the passenger and I reported it back to the captain.

He said, "Good. I'll fill the paperwork out."

I asked, "Do you want my version of the situation?"

He said, "Hey, I've flown with you for years, I trust your judgement and you'd probably have seen what I would have seen so I can assume. Don't wait until you're captain to start thinking like one. Then it's too late".

When it's Capt Derg and FO Cav with a drunk in the back we're both going back. Two short dudes on a mission!

But generally it's a lot of work because there are a number of things to get done before we coast out.

"Approaching four seven north zero five zero west, next four eight north zero four zzz.... Zzzzz......ZZZZ! *snort* Zzzzz!"
