And wait until you meet Delta flight attendants: They're the ones who call me to turn the seatbelt sign on because "it feels much worse in the back."

Sorry man.... wasn’t paying attention. I was having a hard time counting all my profit sharing. Now what comes after 40,000?

As far as guard goes, I gotta tell ya, over a 30 year (so far) career at Delta, not once has a pilot on a jet I have crewed, EVER done the guard police thing. You’re gonna have to prove that accusation. Who GAS about the rest. If you are worried about that, all I can say is: good luck with your career....

Perfect. I have been enjoying the ATC memes and Airline pilot memes on this topic.

Personally I like the one where the Delta pilot reports light chop on a taxiway.

Well I know for a fact that a pilot who came over from flying pointy planes (F-XX, I won't say which one as that might be too much information) to the regionals played something offensive over guard as comic relief. Don't be so quick to assume it's all 23 year olds with zero life experience. Sometimes it's military veterans, and I bet there's one or to mainline pilots that have done it.

It's almost like watching scrubs, fighter pilots are the equivalent of how they portrayed surgeons.

Anyway contact ground point fife... You're on Guaaaarrrrddd!
