Default Airline pilot business cards

Just curious if any of you guys have your own business cards (like those that were CFIs). I guess a way for better networking when you are jumpseating or whatever. If anyone does, can you get one from your airline or do you just make up your own?

What would be kinda fun would be to bring back the airplane (baseball card like ) stat trading cards pilots used to hand out on Horizon and Northwest when I was younger.

I just make my own.

Usually use a picture of whatever I want, they put text on the pic, place 2 columns of 5 each on a page on a Word document, and stick in a pre-made blank cards you can buy at Staples, etc.

Easy, and I can change it often.

We order ours through our company, although many get graphics and have their own made.

My airline has a template you can use but I don't think you can order them through the company

You can order those from http://www.alphatangocharlie.com/ for $50. Kind of expensive, but you might be able to write that off as a business expense.

When I flew for UAX, I made my own. When ACA launched Independence, we could order through the company.

Try calling your company's purchasing department and seeing if you can order them through the company and have the cost payroll deducted.

Some companies used to have airline "baseball style cards" for the fleet they flew. They were kind of cool to give to kids, along with the pin on wings of yesteryear.

Here's the front of a few of the NWA cards.


The back had info about the aircraft- # of seats/crew, weight, speed, range, etc. The white banner on the front of some of the cards was where the crew could sign their name or write a message or the flight date/number, etc.

There were also cards made up for the Airbus 340 but they are pretty scarce.
