It's pretty low, and it's not good. Experience counts.

If you are trying to get with somebody, which presumably this dude was trying to do, the right answer to her question about your occupation is always a nonchalant, "A little of this and a little of that".

Mystery. Intrigue. The key to all hook-ups.

No charge for the advice. 😉

A phrase from a time when women were referred-to politely, rather than the way rappers now do. It was another way of saying "women". "Fair" in its archaic usage meaning "attractive" or "beautiful". "Fairer sex" = "beautiful gender" = "women".

Who in the right mind would want to admit the work for Amazon or an ACMI?

I have zero issue with it, but it is just easier to tell people you're unemployed. I get sick of telling people the company info.

The fresh captains haven’t made me near as nervous as some of the old cowboys.

As valuable as experience can be in certain situations, I would take a young “inexperienced” captain over an old salt with a bad attitude and crap CRM any day.

Attitude, communication and the ability to mentor an FO is more valuable than 20 years of experience if you’re just a grumpy old pilot. Now, I will agree that if the 20 year captain has a good attitude and all of that experience, then you have hit a gold mine of knowledge as an FO and better be learning from them as much as you can.
