About two blocks above our flight, one of our superstars signed it, then used the FO block to write in all the Air Force airplanes he flew, leaving no room for the FO.

That is just because the captain knew the kid didn't give two ****s about A) FOs or B) non fighter aircraft. He saved you from embarrassing yourself...

I kinda feel like we need to add a soy-chugging beta millenial of the day to accompany the totd thread. I nominate ReadyRsv as the inaugural poster.

What if they’re currently flying F-teens in the Guard. Is that okay to wear if it’s a current aircraft, but not an airliner? These rules are very confusing.

If a pilot gets “triggered” over someone else’s tie pin, how would he handle an engine failure?

A big enough aircraft pin (RJ with engines under the wings probably) can be ingested into the engines causing a failure? I’m just trying to help.

Only if they wear their airline wings on their flight suit and introduce themselves as "First Officer Jones, #22-77654" while on drill.

Hey man, I just asked a question, no need to toss insults.

FWIW, while any protein supplementation as part of a structured workout routine should be beneficial towards hypertrophy, Pea protein is superior. Alpha-Beta personality types have been disproven. I'm not a millennial.
