Lost my part time job

After I retired, I wanted to keep a little busy so I found a part time job. It was with a Boeing subcontractor and it was perfect. I'd go in for just a couple of hours a day.



My job was to put the bolts in a fuselage with a door plug. Put the bolt through, then to around the other side to put on the nuts and tighten them down. I was really good at it.



One day though, I had diarrhea and did not go to work that day. Afraid to leave the house, I stayed home. Well, that was some months ago and the boss just found out I was not there with my nuts, so I got fired. No second chance. I just don't understand it.

Yes, I'm exceedingly handsome so that makes me a minority. I'm very happy so that can make me gay.

I don't understand, it was only one door that fell off a 737.

As long as they didn't leave the seat belt bolts out too, you should be OK. Wearing a warm coat that's good to -40F will help.

You need Eskimo-style fur coats. It can be down to -70F, that's without counting the windchill factor.

9,000 and 12,000 metres (30,000 and 40,000 feet), the cruising altitude of most jet aircraft, air temperatures range from −40 to −70 °F (−40 to −57 °C). Modern aircraft have sealed cabins and heaters to protect pilots and passengers from wind blasts and cold air.

And it doesn't help when United's Goober fails to ensure the exterior panels are mounted securely.

You needed a different plug that day. Couldn't you just walk through the hole to get to other side? You can get a job at United's maintenance dept.
