So we takeoff out of DEN, thunderstorms all over, and finally break out in the clear and get up to cruise. I get a tap on the shoulder, look back, and he says in his best southern drawl "boy, yer scarring the @#**! out of me!" I look to see a pile of rubber dog crap sitting on the jumpseat with him. How's that for breaking the ice! Good times.
Awesome! Good times. First trips on IOE are hard to forget, I remember my first trip at the regionals, while walking to the hotel room in Monroe, Louisiana, some kids swimming at the pool yelled out, "Excuse me sir, are you a limo driver?!"

Looking forward to my first trip at United.
