You know which places give the best discounts for food in the airport.


Moes and ABC at ATL
cause Wendys doesnt even have a dollar menu!

~m

 

ABC rules... I'll fly .80 all the way to ATL everytime I have a tight turn just to make extra time to stop by there... best food ever!

 

My Fav is the ABC special extra Peperchinies (SP??) hold the mayo and tomato.

PS my plane only goes .74 on a good day so I just take the delay!! lol jk i am based in ATL

 

I'm not an airline pilot, but meh.

Police officers thinks you're crazy when they pull you over for doing 100mph on a freeway, and you respond "I'm allowed to go 250kts below 10 000 feet".
Best I could come up with

 

You see a speed bump and try to rotate.

You turn your car off and mumble the shutdown check in .5 seconds.

100% of the directions you get from people **** you off (I'm serious. After dealing with ATC you just can't get good f'ing directions)

You know which hotels you like and don't like because of the shampoo they use. Hilton's suck

You have three different hotel names on towels in your house

You drive a crappy car because you quit caring after driving a multi-million dollar jet.

Your friends/family and you are going on a trip for a few days and everyone's astonished you brought a 22" bag while they have 3 bags a piece.

You try not to tell people what you do because you don't want to have to answer the same crap over and over to the point where you're putting on such a fake smile that it's only rivaled by Hilary Clinton.

Someone ask how much further the drive is and you give an exact answer to the decimal by looking at the mile marker and the E6B that's on your watch.

 

You know the fuel burn (gph) of your in-laws motor home generator

You over inflate your airport car's tires to get better fuel economy

You have seen every episode of "Myth Busters" twice

You know exactly how many miles it is from you house to the airport, and have found the shortest vs. fastest route

You cant spell

 

when you do a cross country flight and the tow bar is still attached

 

You watch the weather channel for fun and your family/friends give you a hard time about it.

You keep cheese crackers, biscoff cookies, and 'party peanuts' in your glovebox.

You refer to riding in the back seat of a car as 'deadheading'.

You refer to riding in the front pax seat of a car as 'jumpseating'.

Your rules for 'shotgun' include a commuter clause.

You can light fires by reflecting light off of your big watch.

You play the 'runway light' game in your car, hitting all the center line road reflectors you can in a row.

You get pulled over for playing said reflector game and have the same sinking feeling as when fed's ride in your jumpseat.

You keep track of your car's deferrals and accurately placard any inop equipment.

And finally... You know you're an airline pilot when.... you are poor, complain all the time, but still love your job!

 

You forget how to do basic VFR radio comms, then touch down in a skyhawk at 120 knots and roll to the end of an 8,000 foot runway.

You read the newspaper, put your contacts in and get into uniform while driving to the airport because (insert your local crowded, insane highway) is nothing compared to the ramp at ATL.

You kick out of bed at... 6:03 and check some pilot forum your girlfriend hates because it soaks up so much free time that could be hers...

 

You've read the entire list, laugh your ass off cause you've done half of it, and can see yourself doing the other half.
