I friend of mine flew checks (Epps?). He said he always wondered why they
checked weather, because no matter what they said, they were flying.



There was an Epps Flying Service (I think it was called) down around Atlanta.
As for your comment about the weather, it was so we'd know how many changes of
underwear to bring. We were expected to fly.

As an aside, I can't count the number of times where every airliner missed the
approach while at the same time every freight dog got in. You learn a lot about
real world IFR flying from doing a stint as a courier for a year or two.
