The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

Judging You
Good news for anyone looking to move up the seniority list at Air China?
Are you surprised? Have you ever been around the Chinese? I'm not and I have.
1994 - Doing a UN Military Observer gig, I had to do life saving first aid for an Egyptian Lt Col after the Chinese Major driving served his Nissan Pathfinder in the Western Sahara desert to avoid hitting the only tree within a 1,000 miles. Our compound had a bunch of empty containers making the walls (containers our compound came in). In the 6 months I was there, we had 7 or 8 Nissans need new front ends because the Chinese officers driving them couldn't put a 6 foot wide SUV through a 20 foot wide opening.
Now days - I fly into Beijing as well as hear these idiots on the radios at a lot of airports. Had a Chinese lady tell her young kid to just take a shit in the aisle since the lav had someone in it. Not an unusual occurrence. They also squat on top of the lav seat and bomb from above missing half the time. The lavs are disgusting. Sometimes, depending how it is early in the flight, the FAs block the first class lav off from all pax including the first class pax so the crew has a place to go without wading in shit and piss. The Chinese shit in public and on the subways all the time. They have no public shitting signs in downtown Beijing but it does no good as the Chinese think the rules don't apply to them. On our Beijing flights the FAs are also continuously telling the Chinese pax they can't smoke even though there is a brightly lit No Smoking sign staring in them in their faces and a No Smoking announcement is made in Chinese multiple times.
Wow, thanks for ruining dinner HAL !!! No, I have zero experience with the Chinese, except for the PRC Kilo I tracked for a few days on my last deployment to PACOM, but that's another story. And Jesus, shitting in the aisle? Seriously ???
I hope you get to experience the pleasure of sitting in the right seat of a 737 and staring up at the air conditioning panel. It's not the most intuitive design known to mankind.Wow. He doubled down on bad judgment with some fantastic aircraft systems knowledge!
LAX tower: “Air China hold short 24 left”
Air China: “roger, hold short 24 L” as he taxis across the active while an Alaska Air takes off right over him
LAX tower: “AIR CHINA YOUR INSTRUCTION WAS HOLD SHORT 24LEFT!!!!!”
Air China: “Roger, hold short 24 left”
Saw it with my own eyes....

Nugget81,
On the 8900.1 (June 2016) list of centerline thrust military jets, it is listed as:
f) F-18 Northrop-McDonnell-Douglas Hornet.
That's pretty vague. And being so vague, I am certain that many FSDO's will include the Growler as a "centerline thrust" jet.
Is there a memo floating around out there somewhere? If so, the Hornet/Super Hornet/Growler community should get their hands on it.

It really isn’t that bad.
I agree that’s vague, but F-18 Northrop McDonnell Douglas Hornet reads quite different from EA-18 Boeing Growler. Compare that to F-18 Boeing Super Hornet. Which is more likely to get the pass?
I’ve never seen said memo, and I can’t speak to how the FAA or FSDOs choose to interpret their own instructions, but I concur that the pointy nose communities need to get their hands on it.
