"Seems like I'm always off to South Korea for one reason or another, and quite often those trips coincide with sensitive Soviet military maneuvers off Sakhalin Island. I appreciate Untied's service, their extra-wide seats, and their having the good sense to hire pilots who will back off on their spy missions when they see tracer bullets, rather than risk horrible death at the hands of a heat-seeking missile. After all, I'm no good to the Company if I'm dead." Phil Kimby Unspecified Capacity Overseas International Euphemism, Inc. No pilot ever joins Untied Airlines before undergoing a battery of psychological tests. We determine his temperament, ability to act under pressure, and whether he has a hidden grudge against the Russians because his grandfather's land was taken away during one invasion or another, a grudge that might possibly impinge upon his judgement and cause him to pursue an "accidental" overflight of Soviet military installations even after it becomes apparent that to do so will mean certain death to himself and his passengers. Larry McDonald didn't listen to his friend Phil Kimby's advice. Don't you make the same mistake. Fly with friendly spies. Untied. ------ * Just in case.
