That’s part of the reason I chose to only use my first initial with my last name on the tag. At least make them work to figure out who I am. That is until the CA says both our full names on every welcome aboard PA… 🤦‍♂️

That's why I don't even tell the captain my real name.

Who is John Galt indeed! But I did also appreciate the Nigel reference!

Good thing our names aren’t on the release. 😹

And yes, I include both of our names, and the number traps between us on the PA.

Because all the pilot-preying thugs in the fo-0h-fo are monitoring our forum activity in order to determine our daily movements?

I would assume you also include combined years of service and list of airplanes flown.

When you stay in one of the nicest hotels in the city in a 3rd world country, you tend to be a target.

I once ate breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Jakarta as part of a Navy flight crew, the very next morning as we were on our way to Malaysia, a terrorist walked into that breakfast buffet in the Ritz and exploded a briefcase killing over a dozen people and wounding many others. Missed us by less than 24 hours!

But only if those are military years.

Serious question, would any FOs be put off by the Captain saying their name on the PA? I always thought it was a nice touch when the Captain said both our names.
