I wouldn't have stayed around for a five minute lecture. I would have picked my bag up and told him, that I was sure scheduling would be able to get him a new FO in a reletively short time. And yes, I have done that very thing as a new hire FO. Capt chased be down on the ramp as I walked away from the plane and apologized.

Me! Mine are cut a little on the looser side so I don't rip them if I bend down and so I have freedom of action in the remote event that H2H is called for. I've screwed up shirts (button, java, or marinara sauce failures) but never pants. I do carry duct tape though.

I'm sure I will destroy my pants if I ever go on a trip without a backup. I also check to make sure I have my ID like 5 times before I leave the house. I guess that's my OCD talking. Now I have to go wash my hands again.

Regardless, it is not worth the public humiliation and loss of your Man Card! Water-boarding and ripping out fingernails would have been preferable to this typr of torture.
haha, I think you're right OR he's a cheater who hasn't been caught yet and he's just buying some points! bleecccccch.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who checks their ID (and passport) numerous times both before leaving home as well as at airports/hotels.
