We could always buy one of those turbo props that US Airways is apparently using on longer flights these days. (See my vacation thread in the Manifestos.) I hear those planes are loud though.
Hmmm...Brian...where to put you in the mix? Lessee, so far, we've got:
--Griff as Chief of Staff
--Dave as Personnel Director (aka Minister of Attitude)
--Maggie as Official Pilot (we can come up with a fancier name later)
--Shepps...fuck, what do I do with him? Political advisor is definitely good...Political Advisor/Head of Information Technology is even better.
--Brian...I think I'd like to have you and Hubris as security specialists. And this is PA, so you have more freedom with your weapons than in MD (or so I would assume). We'll make you the backup pilot if Maggie is sick or something.
--Hermit22 is going to be the "pure left" side of my staff. I have to have at least one of those, and people would scoff if I brought in some young punk from Melbourne.
I need a "man on the street." In this position, this person just hangs out...at cheesesteak stands, in coffee shops and diners, wherever...they're going to be the "pulse taker," seeing what the people are saying. Joe seems to be the deep undercover type...you're hired.
