Hilarious!!

However, being the fussnut factchecker that I am, it is my duty to point out that the picture is of the cockpit of an Airbus A-380, an aircraft which is not inNorthwest's fleet.

LOL Greg, I'm pretty sure Jim knows that as well.

It's a joke because of the recent incident involving 2 Northwest Airlines pilots:

Andrea, I got the joke alright... but I can't overlook my duties as resident PIAFF (Pain In the A** Fussnut Factchecker)!

And btw I have several friends who are airline pilots, and this kind of thing is not all that rare - it just doesn't usually wind up with them overshootingtheir destination by 150 miles. One of my friends told me he can't remember how many times he and the copilot will wake up to some sound and look at eachother and say "Hey, have you been listening to the radio? Where are we anyway?"

Ha, I like the arbitrary pizza just sitting by itself on the console. Awesome.
