I turned around, walked away, and spent the remaining 1:20 of my call out window having a nice dinner at my favorite airport restaurant. Reported right on time but unfortunately the CA timed out after the PM reserve window closed, so back home I went.

Loading the dash for a short flight in a philly a lady, at least 90 and sharp as a tac walked up the stairs unaided next to the prop. Looked at all 9 rows and said to me “please tell me we all get a scarf and goggles on this flight?” I laughed and thought that’s the best thing i’ve heard on the two fan can.

After being berated for a few minutes because we couldn’t put her bag in the cockpit...
“Lady, your million miles and my four stripes will not get your large suitcase into a small overhead, you’re gonna have to gate check it.”

In a 757 one night going into Phoenix we had to hold for 20 minutes for Thunderstorms. After one missed approach for wind shear and changing runways twice we finally landed in light to moderate turbulence. As I was saying goodbye to the pax, a little old lady who had been in the rear of the plane (worst place) reached out and placed my hand between her two and said “Your worth every ppppppppenny you make”

Jumpseating home during training break at my first airline, a tiny elderly lady is standing next to me in the jetway - "Oh my goodness! I hope he isn't flying this plane. He looks sooooo young!" My response: "Ma'am, you have nothing to worry about. I'm not flying this plane!"
