The FO has his first baby due July 5th. Don’t think that he’s not checking his voice mail everytime we hit the deck 😉 I like the choice of dates. If the doctor had proclaimed the baby due on the 3rd — and it didn’t happen — why then he’d be on the hook for the holiday 4th. There’s no pressure or external influence in this calculation is there?

The FA (35 and single) has been working on her private pilot’s license for about a year now and is scheduled for the big checkride next month. She takes offense and shows various degrees of friendly irritation when asked “has she got it done yet”. She trys to be one of the guys but it’s a female frustration to be harangued about marital status, and when she’s finally married “any children yet”.
