When it takes ten minutes to taxi out, and three hours to get back.

When the Feds walk right past your plane and nail the 'Ex Van 'cause there'd less paperwork with that outfit.

When PAO gives you "right turn ASAP" then complains about how low you crossed the fence.

When a complete engine failure only delays delivery.

When you were hired because you can fix the POS when it breaks.

Somehow, across the entire company, nothing ever breaks until the last leg home. And the Feds don't care.

When you have to quit to get a raise.

You know when, where, and how long to meow.

On the first leg at your new company, the captain reminds you that you have passengers in back.

When you get a RPG in your tail and stick the landing (Way to go DHL!)

When you get paid to fly below the RADAR, can shoot back first, and carry precious cargo, but can't talk about it.

-Your crash pad vehicle needs a jump 80% of the time.
-You wear a tie that doesn't even come close to touching your belt
-You've said on more than one occasion, "If it'll fly in, it'll fly out."
-You've opened the cockpit window at least once while on short final
-You've never worn a uniform hat, heck you've never even owned one

You a/c looks like a baby threw up on it and not to mention the wonderful shade of zinc chromate completely removes the customers name.....

The only thing you get excited about anymore is pretty girls, whiskey, and cigars.

You bring slippers to the simulator, to make your V1 cuts more realistic.
THAT is FUNNY!

You've ever opened an over wing exit inflight to relieve yourself and your only concern was frost bite

You always keep a subway sub in the fridge at the hotel in case you get called for a 14 hour "asap" time critical trip, with only enough time to grab fuel and pee between legs. Mmmm, sweet onion chicken teriyaki
