1. You did this to yourself
2. Have fun while you're there...

A friend of mine is an IOE captain for a regional. The CA was talking to his Probie FO as they were checking into their hotel. The captain noticed that the cute girl behind the counter was taking a liking to the Probie FO. . The captain, with a jaded past, said "Excuse us for just a second.....I'll send him back in a minute or two." They left the counter and walked around the corner. The IOE captain then said to his probie, "Okay, you had a good day today. I expect you to be ready for tomorrow. Take some time and relax. Oh ....and another thing...about the girl at the front desk.....Her panties are in the flight deck tomorrow morning or you go home!" (He had them the next morning.)
