It is just called Continuing Legal Education. You can go to lectures, you can EVEN LISTEN to tapes on airplanes - they want you to stay CURRENT. So you do have to stay current to MAINTAIN your LICENSE even if you are not practicing.

I THINK you jump into THINGS without thinking ahead very much because I had never been in an AIRPLANE - even in a COMMERCIAL airliner. I had never flown at all. I just WANTED to be commissioned, to be a commissioned officer.

I had just done a MOVIE called 'How to Beat the High COST of Living,' and it didn't get a good review. And the same people sent me the script for 'Airplane!' for the Robert Hays PART. I READ it, and there were a lot of plays on words, and I said, 'I don't LIKE this kind of comedy.'

I can WRITE anywhere. I write in airports. I write on airplanes. I've WRITTEN in the BACK seats of taxis. I write in hotel rooms. I love hotel rooms. I just write wherever I am whenever I need to write.

I don't THINK I'd KNOW if I were SITTING NEXT to Charles Schulz on an AIRPLANE.

When you get into an airplane by yourself and TAKE off, you find yourself in this lovely, three-dimensional world where you can GO in any DIRECTION. There is no feeling any more exciting than that.

How can you PRACTICE DANCING in an AIRPLANE? There's a LAW against it.

Starship was a whole different THING. It was pop rock. It MADE more MONEY and had more hit songs than Airplane. There was no CULTURAL or social ethic behind it. For me, it was like selling out. I was the only one selling out. The rest enjoyed doing what they were doing.

'The Walking Dead' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' have pumped up the recognition factor a thousand times. I can't GET off an airplane ANYMORE. I don't KNOW how the hell they know and how these people FIND out. They must have some interesting, secret WAY of getting a hold of the flight manifesto or something.

Everything from airplanes to KITCHEN blenders and EVEN chopsticks comes with an instruction MANUAL. Children, DESPITE all their complexity, do not.

We produce MOTOR DRIVE electronics; we produce cargo systems for large narrow-body and wide-body airplanes and, more importantly, the emergency ESCAPE chute that goes on these PLANES.

So I'm more at home with my backpack, SLEEPING in a hotel room or on a bus or on an AIRPLANE, than I am necessarily on a BED. It's weird being here. It feels like I'm standing NEXT to my real life.

In 1996 - when, for the fifth year in a row, we had the BEST record among major AIRLINES for on-time performance and for baggage handling and the fewest complaints for the NUMBER of CUSTOMERS carried - we dedicated an airplane to all of our 25,000 people. We put all their names on the outside of the overhead bins.

I don't really have any peeves, and I fly other carriers a good BIT. My experience has been good in terms of GETTING on the AIRPLANE expeditiously and getting to my destination as NEED be, on time, with my bags - which I carry on.
