Its either the Bus, or 737. The 737 is pretty junior in DC, so maybe that.

I used to be in the whole “if it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going crows!” crowd, now I don’t care.
Bus from the flight deck is much more spacious. Never hear any complaints from other pilots.

bampilot06 roaring out to an early lead in the pissing contest. Met the shower tote of shower totes at the Veloway this morning; maybe I’ll type up the whole account later at my laptop. Good ride other than that.
And it’s payday and Shimano day.
