Ok So first off this jacktard should be shot. First off gives pilots a bad name, he has the worst lines in the world and someone's tool box is mising him. I was asked on overnights, so what do you do, my responces varied depending on the crowd but mainly I worked for GE as a light bulb test engineer to a greeter at walmart.

He said he lives in Dallas and when they showed him in his uniform he had a hat so I am assuming maybe he is an American pilot.

I used to just tell people I worked for Wachovia... but since the economy tanked when I was still flying I just said I was in the 'Shipping Business'... Just didn't tell them I shipped people from one airport to another.

Here is my guess, with no evidence to back it up what so ever. But with as lame as he was I am going to say he was furloughed from American after 9/11 and hasn't flown since. He just pulled the uniform out of the closet and said, "I knew I kept this for a reason!"

My wife got hit on once in at the gate area by a bunch of Trans-States guys going through training. The boldest of them was chatting her up for a while, and finally proudly announced they were all "airline pilots". She was very impressed, and mentioned her husband was an F-15 instructor pilot in the Guard and also flew at FedEx. She told me later she could hear the balloon deflating...

Me...I had two jobs. As a F-15 guy, I was "...a heavy equipment operator for the goverment" (given to me by a superior UPT classmate who died of cancer in his 20s...) As a FedEx pilot, I'm "...in the shipping business..." I'm not out there hitting on gals these days, but when performing wingman duty (it still happens) out there these seem to quiet down any further questions.

Yes, all pilots who wear hats and live in Dallas are American pilots. Nobody commutes out of Dallas.

All gentle readers of APC know I have this friend. When I first met him, he never said he was a former fighter pilot or currently a captain at a major airline. I think that if he had rattled off his total flight time and discussed ad nauseum all his devilish exploits in the Hornet, I would have been quite turned off. Now, in all fairness, he eventually did send me a picture of himself next to his F-18, but we were already fast friends.

The real test is how good you are in bed!

That is a great story hands down! Trans-states trainess, very impressive haha! As for me, I always drop one of these occupations on strangers.

When people ask what I do for a living,

I tell them that I sell embalming equipment.

There are seldom follow up questions.
