6) Flying with experienced senior airline pilots vs write a new hire critique every trip.

7) Why don't these European countries put ice in their cokes vs. OMFG we have to phucking deice a 5th time? What do you mean we just blew through holdover? Will this gallon of type 2 that just entered the cockpit double as creamer? And who thinks eyebrow windows are a good idea?

8) JFK once or twice a week vs La Guardia 2-3 times a day

9) Crash pad by the only airport you fly out of vs You want me at EWR in 2 hours?

11) Check rides on a normal schedule vs a checkride every month since the new guy you're flying with just hit 200 hours. Oh, it's not a check for you, unless you screw up of course...
