What is this,

Do to the fact that the moisture is not retained. I can tell when its dry if I leave my cigar unwrapped in my pocket. I've had them totally unravel on me on long flights making me have to throw away my cigar but that happened only ONCE.
7=a,b, (I'm thinkin earmuffs here. If you refer to boom mic, then I would say pilots and mechanics (Avionics troubleshooting com system.) Earmuffs for the rampers and technicians where the noise level is high around the airplane. Pilots usually use earplugs or nothing at all, never see them with those mickey mouse muffs on.

Palms, make a decision. If all else fails, leave it up to fate and flip a coin I'm not giving half points.

Ok, you two are missing the big picture, question 6 is all about supply and demand. Picture this, your brother/sister/cousin/niece/nephew (who has never asked for a pass and who you told only a week ago, “if you every want a pass just ask“) leaves a voicemail asking for a D3/buddy pass; seems he/she has a taste for gumbo and only the gumbo from Ralph & Kacoo’s in the Quarter will do. Later you receive an e-mail from your favorite aunt, who wants a pass so she can join her BINGO buddies on a Mexican cruise. And finally your best buddy knocks on your door (right in the middle of the playoff game) saying he and his long distance girlfriend have had a fight and he wants to fly to NYC to straighten things out.
You have only one D3/buddy pass left, having used the rest of your allotment on a bachelor party in Vegas - what do you do? Is it A, B, C, D, or E ?
BTW, D3 is AA’s travel classification for extended family and friends

5--- With what can dryness of the cabin be demonstrated?

c--- piece of bread

6--- You have 2 D3 passes left for the year. Unfortunately you have 10 friends/family members all asking for the passes. What do you do?

e--- other- (please explain your answer)

It really depends on how they have treated me as a friend/family member when they DON'T want to fly.

7--- Who uses boarhogs?

a--- rampers

Gate agents use sledgehammers.

8--- This photo is from 1964. It is a photo of the customs area of a major airport. What airport? (See below)

Final Scores

And yes Palms I remember all of your answers- *wink*
29Palms- score 30
3 out of 8
10-30 (Wing walker)--- You're a little crazy and somewhat unpredictable, no doubt a result of your many years of power breathing jet fumes. You love traveling to exotic places and are a sharp and tenacious bargainer. You have a discerning eye and are quick to notice small flaws; which is a fine trait when bargaining for tapestries in Peru, but a major liability when your spouse is asking how they look.

Jumper- score 50
4 out of 8 (including one double point question)
40-60 (Barnstormer)--- You're observant and a good listener and have picked up lots of aviation knowledge just by hanging out in airport bars during happy hour. You have a keen head for business and saw immediately the profit in being nearby during secondary security checks. You love to non-rev and can sleep through anything - movies, crying babies, sunlight streaming through your neighbor’s window nothing bothers you.
At Christmas you're known for your generous gift baskets of water bottles, shampoo and large tubes of toothpaste

Nick- score 70
5 out of 8 (including both double point questions)
70-90 (Aviator)--- You’re energetic and love to travel. By air, land or sea you always “ready to roll”.
You really love airplanes, the hustle and bustle of airports and can sleep on a rock.
You're airline knowledgeable and are punctual to a fault.
In fact if it wasn’t your need to carry every charger and cable to all your electronic gadgets in your carry-on, (triggering the secondary screening-- every-- single-- time you travel) you’d be the perfect travel companion.

Congratulations Nick, you have board bragging rights

Hope you all had fun.
