I was at a party once and my buddy said this other guy flew for NW. Hmm, so I go over toward him at some point to introduce myself and within a few steps, I get the "Tool" feeling.

"So, what do you do?"
"I am an 'airline pilot' for Northwest"
"Really, you are young, have you been there long?"
"Not too long, got hired three years ago" (NW had not been hiring, BS Flag up)
"What 'routes' do you fly"
"Some Domestic, some international."
"Awesome. What is the type of plane you fly"
"The British Aerospace 146 jet" (now the fun begins)
"Hmm, I am not familiar with that, is that the one with three engines in the back?"
"No, No, it has 4 engines on the wings"
"Oh, the one with the big hump on it, cool. That thing is huge!"
"No, this one is just a 'little smaller' than that".
" Oh, are you the pilot or the other guy"
"We are both pilots, but I am a first officer, but I am just as good as most of the Captains" (Swear to Momma he said this)
"Cool, what International places do you go?"
"Montreal, Winnipeg, Regina"
"So, Canada?"
"Yup,….. What do you do"
"…….I fly A320's for Northwest"


He still hates me.
