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?

And I'm back from my several-days long exile from FlyerTalk. Was great to see the Boss in Jersey this past week (and to see my family as well...really glad to hear they're moving back to Jersey - will make it a lot easier to see the rest of my extended family in the future, which I'm looking forward to).

*raises hand*
Welcome anyway! Since nothing is off-topic in The Lounge, I would love to know what you intended to post. Oh, well. You are the 392nd FTer to post in The Lounge.

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.

...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...
...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...

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.
