Be careful. Over here they might find you a job and put you to work in all that spare time that you have up there.

Wish the real world was as easy. Good luck with that search. I'm still looking myself.
Chauffeur and Pilot would be great. I didn't realize the Grand Poohba didn't have a pilot for his plane, but I could be all over that. Travel to the far corners of the world. Unless it is a Piper Cub, we would never make it on a transatlantic flight. But I am sure he has the latest and greatest G550! Of course I need a co-pilot, and a plane like that needs a FA. Don't you think?

Welcome back! Glad to hear you enjoyed your break. Sometimes a slight break from FT can be a good thing.

CHOLULA! If you ever get a break from Community Buzz....

Oh, did I not mention that the pilot is also responsible for providing the plane? Yes, the chauffeur also provides a car. Canarsie's track record with vehicles isn't that great.

Here ya go! And be sure he's on the appropriate payscale. (You know pilots insist on having their own payscale; of course, airlines counter that by only paying them for actual flight time. Since he's also the chauffeur, should we let him install a taxi-style meter?)

Thank you, scoow...

...and, actually, my track record with vehicles is quite good — but I would not mind having a pilot and a chauffeur, especially if provided with the latest technology in transportation...

I have been meaning to ask this, especially to Cholula...

...what exactly is a Poohba?!? I am not exactly into sticking my hands in honey pots, and Kenny Loggins has never written a song about me...

I don't think the hens who post on this thread should be asked to do that and, incidentally, you spelled "rooster" incorrectly.

No offense intended, Canarsie. (That's Dov's department.) I haven't pulled a copy of your DMV record. I based my statement just on what's been posted here... one missed Meet in FL (or was it two? Maybe a meet & a dinner?) and a wreck (which wasn't your fault). Probably doesn't reflect your overall track record, but it really does look like you need someone to provide quality transportation.
