Default My rant

One of my jobs as a Beech FO is the stand infront of the prop as the passengers board. At the same time, as if by magic, I get the clearance, weather, and close the cargo door.

Passengers usually greet me and say "hello" or "how are ya?" but more often than not, this isn't the case. For example:
"Who did you 'T-off' to fly this thing?"
"How many more hours you need until you can go fly those little jets?"
"Are you learning how to fly?"
"Are you the flight attendant?"
"Is this safe?"
"Wait.. they still use propeller planes?"
"I'm not getting on that!"
"Holy ******* this thing is small.."
"We should have driven."
"Am I going to get sick?"

and my new favorite, "Did you spin the rubberbands tight enough on the propellers?"

There's a lot more but it hurts to think after droning along all day in my flying machine.
You guys get any of these?
