Airline Pilot Central Forums

If you commute and wear the 'commuter jacket' (North Face, Columbia, golf windbreaker) it matches great with the white shirt and black tie. Just tell then this:

Passenger: "Are you a Pilot?"

Me: "No, I sell Bibles for a living"

Passenger: "Oh"

Me: "Wanna buy a Bible?"

Passenger: "Ummmm.....no"

Me: "OK"

/End conversation

Works great everytime, all the time

This is GOLD

When standing in the hotel lobby waiting for the crew van, I usually get, "Here boy, bring these bags to my room..." from the little old ladies!

Next time, take them up on it and put the bags in the "special freight elevator" (dark corner in the lobby of your choice) then happily accept the tip.

I just tell them to wait in the jetway until we close the door. You need to be a moron if you don't understand that your in the way.

Has anyone waited in the jetway until you closed the door, then waved goodbye to you as you pushed back? :D

Untool of the day:

Taxiing out of ATL last night, I changed radio 2 to guard and selected radio 1 for ground, but didn't change the transmitter from 2...

Me- "Ground Delta xxx D short of G with P...."

Voice- ONNNN GUAAARD!!!

Me- "Doh..." (changes xmitter)

Me- "Ground, blah blah blah"

Same Voice- OOONNNN GUAAARD!!!

(I frantically look down and try to figure out the problem"

Same Voice- "kidding, Delta xxx, Atlanta Ground, taxi runway 8R via taxi G and E, verify you have ATIS P"

Me- (read it back while half way laughing still) "What, you didn't hear that i have P on guard?"

.. that was a good one.
