They make everyone get off of the plane while it's being fueled, correct?

What's it take to get to LAX from Burbank by air anyway...10 minutes?

Nope.
The pilot went in to get his flight plans, nobody got off. He came back, we were off.

Golly, just a lucky guess. Happily the pilot didn't go for the self-service to save AA and few more $$.

Part 121 pilots don't even "do" self-service for their own Corvettes!

What makes you think they'd do it to save their employer a buck or two, even if they could?

They can't, BTW.

"She, who must be obeyed" is her usual self....opinionated and crabby...which also describes me, myself and I.

Been up since 10PM PST, just after "She" went to bed. We've been together 21 years, and the trick to getting along is...we only see each other about 5 hours per day (weekends and vacations excepted).

It's a May/December thing...I'm 10 years older than "She."

I'm only seven years senior my "She", and we just pasted our 20th, but if "She" has put up with me, myself, and I this long, then I must be doing something right!
