GS awards going out weekly in "overstaffed" categories......during the slow months. Me thinks the decision to not hire for this summer will be regretted. Will it be Summer 2010 again?

Here's a few more:
"And at pickup, there was a different FO! He must of gotten sick fast..."
"My FOs sure know a lot of people on overnights, they always have someone to eat with..."
"Did you look at each volume in the Jepp kit to make sure it's the right one?"

The lanyard is interesting, because it sends the message, but deprives the guy of actually saying "Academy" in one of the first two sentences when he meets you.
Look for other buzzwords/key phrases during the initial contact:
"I do everything by the book" (he won't),
"...your flying background?" (won't be good enough),
a military rank (yours must be lower, or he'll have to justify his),
"...a lot of experience..." (ruining lives)
"A lot of guys..." (are taller than him),
Any combinations of words that takes more than about 2 minutes to deliver,
Any speech ending in "...but let's have a lot of fun on this trip" (trying to convince himself; while you're already plotting your sick call),
"I'm going to let you..." (fight the urge to strangle him, constantly),
"I'd like to think that I..." (trying to convince you),
"Because I'm a nice guy..." (fully yielding to delusion),
"...called out sick on me, which is weird because I'm a great guy to fly with!" (delusional AND insecure).
One point each, three points total to make a complete tool.

Meanwhile when two guys find out during the Capt's intro that they both flew heavies in the AF it's:
Capt: "You Ready?"
F/O: "Hell Yeah"
Capt: "Lets go!!"
Capt: "You Ready?"
F/O: "Hell Yeah"
Capt: "Lets go!!"

Elvis,
Come on out to the land of Fruits and Nuts and join us in the LAX 73 FO Category. With 10 guys on the Reserves available list today, 5 have flown 0 hours, and as you know today is the last day of the bid period.
I have a theory that the farther you are from DAL Mecca (ATL) the less you will fly as a reserve. Makes sense if you think about it, especially for 737s - almost everyone thinks of Alaska when you talk about DAL west coast flying.
