We took a taxi to a motel that night and was telling the taxi driver what happen.

This is truly a sad world

For a brief period about 15 years ago I dated a United Airlines pilot I met at the Daily Grill in the Bradley terminal at LAX. She was British, flew 777s to and from Heathrow. I soon quit dating her due to her very heavy drinking habits and turned her name into a United Airlines flight surgeon I knew well. Never asked what happened but last time I checked she was still flying for United!
