Fixed it for you.

Anyway... some cabin crew like to know there’s an ABP onboard in the event they need to be located to an emergency exit row seat.

Thanks.

What's an APB? Additional Pilot (something) ? At my carrier there's "ACM" (Additional Crew Member) but I'm not a crewmember, I'm just a ticketed passenger who coincidentally happens to be employed as a pilot at another, unrelated carrier.

SEE! That's exactly why I keep a low profile.

If you come into the cockpit and announce “hi guys! Ima pilot too!”. I will nod and say hello, and then talk **** about you as soon as you leave

My idiot brother in law that uses intermittent contrails as the basis for the military altering the weather in the name of climate change via chem-trails.

I said I’ll give your conspiracy theory’s because The govt can and will do anything if they think they can get away with it, but you’re understanding on the basics of why contrails exist and how they are made and just general atmospheric conditions and weather is completely incorrect.

He persisted and it drove me absolutely insane.
