Maybe I'll start doing my own version of this:
"Ladies and gentleman, you'll be relieved to know that I have accumulated many thousands of flight hours flying between such airports as SBN, AZO, MKE, etc. I have flown many light piston aircraft, hold type ratings in various Regional Jets, and am a Gold Seal CFII/MEI . . . . . . "
The only people who think pilots are cool are little kids and other pilots
No disrespect meant to our military pilots/vets. I just find the self-congratulating PA's a little nauseating.
I think the whole thing was a joke.. Greg Bambo used to tell everyone how many flight hours he and his FO had, and then he proceeded to give the entire plane a play by play tour of the countryside. Actually he was a very neat guy. Lots of great stories about him, but all the FOs that I ever met said you were single piloted from the time the gear hit the wells until the handle went down...
