Jack Lewis (Navy A-4 to Eastern to FEDEX). He stepped aside as Chief Pilot when he turned 60 but worked a deal to stay in Flight Test and then after the retirement change went back to the line. Lives and commutes out of KORF.

Magic did an XO/CO tour as a SELRES at VC-12 the first time I was there. His humor (mentioned in a later post) must have been acquired after he left the Navy.:eek:

You are right Jack isn't exactly a funny guy. Perhaps humor wasn't the right word... His wit and creative writing were entertaining when he was in charge!

... Perhaps humor wasn't the right word......
That's usually the case when talkin' @ airline Chief's ....

Although I was nominated & officially recommended by the 'Chief' (former Navy A-4 jock) in HNL to fill his retiring shoes ... I didn't get it ... probably 'cause I was 'too humorous'.

A fucking civie-street, straight-wing, commuter-grad member of the flight-ops 'club' extant at the time got it ... and during his tenure, he kept asking me for 'advice' ... :sleep_125

It's not always who you know -- it's sometimes who you blow.

^Again you have set yourself up for a bad joke! :D

The only 'bad' joke I've been involved w/ was once at MEX-PAC, Coronado, while standing at the urinal, lookin' at the chalk-board -- the message of the day said:

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING UP HERE FOR ??? THE JOKE'S IN YOUR HANDS"

Mebbe 'old news' these days ... but it was very, very original in 'those' days ... :D
