Top Ten ways to figure out if you are flying with someone over 60
Top Ten ways to figure out if you are flying with someone over 60 10. Orders a "Geritol frappachino" at Starbucks.
9. Layover clothes consist of black shoes, white knee socks, bermuda shorts and yellow golf shirt.
8. Yells "I've landed and can't get up", then laughs uncontrollably.
7. Uses his AARP card as a second form of I.D. at the jumpseat desk.
6. Medic alert bracelet keeps setting off the metal detector.
5. Uses the aircraft power outlet to charge up his wheel chair batteries.
4. Carries a Commodore 64 computer on the road.
3. Thinks the SEA Based Flight attendants in Narita are "hot".
2. Bids the Tokyo layovers, but doesn't remember why...
And the number one way to tell if you're flying with someone over 60.......
1. Flys across the country with the left landing light on all of the time.....

With all due respect, this type of stuff is really getting old and your post is not in good taste.
If I may suggest, delete your post.
PS... I'm in my 40's...

With that big head I'm guessing you'll have to come in through the cargo door.

Get over yourself and take it easy! We're all on the same team.

Is that because you still get stuck in traffic circles?
All the banter coming from the older crowd down but they can't take it when it comes back at them. Really are showing your age aren't you?

Cashcow,
I'm over 60 and your post does not offend me in the least. I enjoyed it completely, but do take exception to your statement # 4, as I too use a Commodore 64 computer on the road, but have promised myself to upgrade it as soon as they make a computer that's under 20 pounds, that folds like a book, with a large viewing screen, and doesn't distort my porno movies.
Seriously cute post. Thanks.

And for Geoffrey, because you're in management "and I will be out there flying again very soon", I'd suggest that you not "fly rings around most guys and gals 1/2 my age", because out here on The Line, we need to go in a relatively straight line to get our product to market. Just a suggestion, along with this one: get a sense of humor for crying out loud.
