I bet you're glad that you didn't forget your camera there. Then
you'd have to go back. I couldn't picture you with dreads either. :rofl;

Yes they DO...

No RR I didn't forget the camera...wife would KILL ME..

Jeremy..hmmm
 It's can of hard to describe..I do the weight and balance of the aircraft (freighters & passenger) Make sure catering is load (and enough or I go buy food) cleaning of plane, paperwork needed for flight, loaded right and all locks are in place. I control the crew while they are on the ground thru the Captain and senior flight attendent, transport, hotel setup for crew. I work with the customer (who ever we are flying for) with departure times, arrivel times, equipment needed, loading of passengers and special needs. I check and ensure there is Security of plane, check-in and airport. We don't fly any scheduled service of our own, we fly for US and foreign Military (for UN or US forces) Air Canada, Eva Air, UPS, State Farm, Sports teams, etc..If a schedule service airline has a broken plane we are one of the companys to call, we fly from china to kuwait...but our customers pay for the fuel used.
Here is a link for my job: http://www.woa.com/career/20050623_o...undopsrep.html

Work called me last night and asked for me to go back...told them only if I choose the other rep to go with me..first one said NO..she has a tanning appointment tomorrow...Aaa she doesn't need a tan  :rofl;

You have to be careful on what you drink there, if
your company has a mandatory drug testing policy.
Many of the liquors contain stuff like opium.

I told Jim to get a newspaper to bring home. Show it to the wife and tell her that they should buy a bunch of washers to sell in Jamaica.

I tricked myself. When I saw the adds for a washer it said something like $35000. For a second I thought holy shit!!! Then I came to my sences and realized that thats 35K jamaican $'s...LoL.
