That said, one of the best employees to be around was a man that went by the name of Ron Jolsom. Jolsom was a true renaisance man, he was a paramedic, a flight pilot, a sharp shooter, and father to one of the smartest girls in the state of Alabama, just to name a few accomplishments.
Hanging around Jolsom, you could hear all his great stories. How he loves traveling through India, Europe, and Australia, what it's like to be related to the Kennedy's, be a pilot, the full break down of AirFrance and the Sky Team Alliance. It's a pretty cool cycle of stories that just defines the personality that is Ron Jolsom.
Imagine a older gentleman, with glasses, bald, and about 300 pounds with one of the thickest southern accents you'll ever find, and that is Ron Jolsom.
That being said, I must share the latest and greatest Jolsom story you would ever hear.
My good friend Jolsom and Baisal were flying last Friday from NY to ATL. Atlanta was having some rough weather and the plane tried to land twice but to no avail. They ultimately had to be diverted to South Carolina to wait everything out.
There was an older Ukrainian on board who was having some issues with anxiety from what was going on. As they are getting ready take off in SC on the tarmac, the woman had a panic attack; the plane fearing for the woman's safety decided to turn around and go to the gate and wait for the paramedics.
As the plane neared the gate, the FA's were like, "Is there a doctor on the plane?" Baisal, minding his own business, all of a sudden sees Jolsom get up and walk to the lady, "I'm not a doctor but I used to be an EMT but my certification is expired.
As Jolsom begins to ask the most irrelevant medical questions, the FA's give him some medical equipment to check her out. Jolsom puts the stethoscope on the womans stomach and look's to the FA's, "I think there is something wrong with your equipment, I can't get a heartbeat. Baisal replies, "Yah you can't hear a heart beat because you're on the stomach."
Jolsom replies, "I know what I am doing here, why don't you go back to your seat, I have this under control." The FA's are beginning to notice that Jolsom probably isn't as knowledgeable as when he was certified, and say, "Thank you sir, you can go back to ur seat now.
"No thanks, I'm going to wait for the paramedics to get here" replies Jolsom.
Next thing you know, he busts out his cell phone and calls the boss, Karen, on a Friday night at 11:30 PM, "Let me get the Ukranian embassy's phone number, I have a medical emergency and I need to communicate with my patient who speaks no English." Karen dumbfounded by the neccesity for Jolsom to call her about his replies I don't have it. Jolsom begins to explain the whole story. "Yah we're in South Carolina, we had a bit of a medical emergency... bla bla bla..
He proceeds to call another colleague of ours, Shannon and asks him if he could speak Ukranian, "I need to talk to this person," his reply is more like, uh ok, why are you calling me on a Friday night?
So the paramedics get on the plane and Jolsom is trying to breakdown what happened and walks off the plane with the paramedics.
Ten mins later, Jolsom calls up Basial, "Uh... they're not letting me back on the plane, can you check my seat and see if I left my boarding pass?" Baisal replies, "Yes Jolsom, they're not lettin you back on because you had no reason to get off, no flight crew got off, just you."
With enough struggles and discussion, the crew was finally "nice enough" to let him back on for his "heroic actions."
HAHAHAHAHAHA

( 3 / 480 )David is broke, so he can't submit his payment for his deliquent bill. So instead, he submitted a picture of a spider instead.
Take a look at the email exchange.
