If his was you today on the XXXX am, MSP to ATL flight, STOP IT! Noboby cares about your resume....... You are making a fool of yourself.
As a veteran, I appreciate your service, but PAs like this have to stop.
I believe you flew with an ATL M88 Captain who is well known and I think this has been turned in but he still does it. From what I understand if one passenger out of 142 or so, comes up and says "that was great" then it was worth it to hime.
What an FO who knows whats coming should do is say:
"Me? Well, I learned to fly in college. Well sort of, I was drunk a lot. It took me forever to get through training. After I graduated I bought 200 hours of right seat time on a Beech 99. I then flew for Trans States but got furloughed. I applied to GoJet but wasn't hired. So I took a job flying a Apache for a Mile High Club operation, its not as exciting as you think. It was most man-on-man, at best old swingers. It went out of business though. I realized then, I need to get a real job. I'd been flying for 15 years but really I was just chasing girls and hanging out at bars, crashing on my buddy's couch, until he got married. So I moved back home with the folks to save money. But that's okay, when my girlfriend turned 18 we got married, legally this time, and so really it was worth it to move back home. Otherwise, I'd never married my buddy's little sister. I have a girl next door thing. So anyways, I needed a job when she turned out to be prego, so I borrowed some money and bought a 727 type rating. When that wasn't enough I went to a Women in Aviation conference. I know I'm a guy, but hey got an interview with Delta and here I am. Why do you ask?"
