I know the Captain is ultimately responsible, but how do you know that the FO wasn't the last out?

His only activity that day was to DH back to base, and yes, he was on a GS.

We've all witnessed this...
Used to fly with a guy who would tell chicks he was a gynecologist. I would tell them I was a forest ranger. One night we are out in a bar in MSP and this guy hears us talking and tells us that he was, in fact a box doctor but he would say he was a pilot. They exchanged cards.

On a ELP layover the whole crew was having beverages in the bar at happy hour. Some guys came up and asked us what we were doing in ELP. We told them we were engineers getting ready to build a subway around ELP. They believed it and were very enthusiastic about the idea. Of course, looking back on it, they may have been thinking we were building it for the import market.

Personally, I work with high speed aluminum tubing.

Back in the day, one of the units I was with had a standard cover story that we were in town for the Zamboni driver's convention.

No, but to be of good moral character is

Wait, damnit...I guess that rules me out
