Pretty much any regional. It's always fun to sit near the crew hotel bar and watch drunken rj pilots hitting on anything with a twat by bragging about being a pilot.

Which is actually one of the dumbest thing in the world to do. Think about it.

On a trip. In a bar on overnight, with other patrons who aren't pilots. And you're flying the next day.

Always reminds me of the time I was doing the W&B check sitting in the right seat and the CA I was flying with was greeting pax as they boarded, when this youngster getting on says...

"Hey, I saw you last night in the bar doing shots! How's it going, dude?"



Never, ever drink on trips. And if you do, don't ever do it in a bar where other people can see you and recognize you later at the airport.

Friendly tip o' the day.

And especially when they claim to fly for Delta, American or United. They always conveniently forget to add the Connection, Eagle or Express part.

I don't do that, but give us a break here. We do the EXACT same job with the exact same responsibilities as mainline, and no one wants to explain why that is when they're chasing tail.

Speaking of, I wonder how many mainline guys used to do the same thing when they were schlepping at a regional waiting for the call.

Glass houses.

Flying for a regional gives you a lot of hipster street cred.

"I fly for xyz airlines, you've probably never heard of them."
