Default FDX...Threat levels

Blue Threat......an external threat to the cockpit, that flight management has hired a consultant to teach us to identify, counter and avoid.
Purple Threat....an external threat to the cockpit, introduced by flight management, that we use our blue threat training to identify, counter and avoid. (examples include, but are not limited to: PIBS, accepted fares, sick leave and catering)
Silver Threat....an ex-Flying Tiger Captain who say's "would you like to meet for a couple of beers?"
Memphis State Tiger Threat. On day one of a 14 day trip, "I just want you to know that I stay on Memphis time the whole trip
Air Force Threat......"I finished first in pilot training but the KC-135 was just a better fit for me"
Navy Threat.."oh this soap on a rope..it's just an old habit"
USMC Threat...."an ex_Marine is someone who used to be a Marine, a former Marine is someone who once was a Marine....and still is...but he's not, get it mister!!"
Coast Guard Threat...."uh no, I don't fly to Puerto Rico"
Civilian Threat...."west of the mississippi, Embry-Riddle is like Harvard dude"

You forgot a couple:

Fuscia threat......a male flight attendant who follows you into the bathroom at The Cage and asks "Didn't we meet at the truck once?"

Calico Threat....a 70 year old single flight attendant working your deadhead flight who trails "eau de feline" as she walks by, manages to bring you one drink in 7 hours and says you remind her of her third husband when they got married in '78.
