Reply #32: Back in the day, airplane pilots ALL spoke with a southern accent... [View All]

It made them cool. They chewed Beamans gum.

Until the late 80's, nearly every commercial airline pilot spoke with a southern accent when he picked up the mike to talk to his passengers. That was a holdover from military pilots.

The guy who narrates the commercial for "Free Pass" always makes me laugh... "Waiiits in Liiine..."

I'm from the south. South of Los Angeles. I drive a Freightliner OTR. Every time a Super Trucker calls me on the fact that I have a So. Cal. accent, I track him down, stab him to death, and bury him by the side of the road.

That's how I roll.
