Aww come on. I’m not that guy. I’m not a captain and won’t be for quite a while yet. I had the question asked of me recently and when I answered right I got the additional backstory/joke about how a lot of guys actually can’t answer a question like that off-hand. I don’t know how true that actually even is. I just shared it because I found it funny and a joke is all it’s really meant to be.

The air just feels pretty tense on a lot of these threads so trying to lighten it up here and there.

Also, I know I’m a real joy to fly with for several reasons... I ensure that my briefings are incredibly thorough and never less than two minutes long. If we receive an edct, I re-brief every thirty minutes. I show up with home-made turnip brownies. I maintain it as my life’s mission to learn everything I possibly can about the life of the person next to me by asking a constant stream of questions (I really miss the ABQ and SAT turns at the end of day 4). I tap the heading bug every 12 seconds to make sure it remains centered. I also make sure that the captain knows I have just as much authority as he/she does and that I am prepared to assume full authority over the ship should they feel they are in any way incapable of executing their duties. I remove my shoes in cruise and pass gas regularly for bowel health. I hope to someday ascend to the office of system chief pilot and believe that my severe likability will lead me on that path. I hope we can fly together soon.
