My favorite is "I went to the Academy" to which the Captain get excited and will respond "which one?" If he's Air Force, he'll already inhale and hold a breath so as to be ready to tell you about his Air Force Academy experience.
Your reply should be "Comair" or "Delta Connection." Then observe the Captain turn purple while trying to figure out what to say.
Interesting how the civ guys are posting about the mil guy's ego/bravado/credentials/lack of CRM....
Yet NOT one mil guy has posted something as derogatory about his civ trained peer on this thread.
Q: What do mil pilots think of civ pilots?
A: We don't....just be cool to fly with.
Get over it girls.
