-For every request for flaps, or the landing gear, you have a cute presentation on aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. A hand-puppet helps you present it.
-------------------------

Okay now youve done it.

You realize that, in fact, no, you did not win the lottery.

You have had a conversation with a flt att who actually explained about how licking her cat (yes Mr Jingles) seemed to relax it. And thought talking about it was normal conversation.

You've endured the "family pictures" of cats from the senior mommas. (the whole time thinking: its not murder, its just target practice)

Noone wants "crew juice" because they are afraid someone on the "crew" will turn them in.

you've eaten the twix bar left in the cubby hole.

you've been amazed how the company hires all these pilots that have the same personalities, interests, and thought processes.

when you fly with someone who doesnt fit the above description, you wonder how he got thru because he's so rare.

you say thankyougoodbye to do a boob check.

more, much more, i'll spare ou.

You can be identified naked by your USA Today, big watch, and little...

.... if people you barely even knew you were related to think you can get them free tickets and/or care about their latest travel nightmare story.

....You can make it from clearance to the departure controller without having to pull a single chart or look up a single frequency at at least 3 major airports... (including ramp and ops freqs.)

....You can get clearance, do weight and balance, and run checklists all while stuffing your face with whatever gross bit of food you picked up at the airport on your 15min turn...

....You lay in bed at your hotel saying to yourself every 30 minutes "If I were to fall asleep RIGHT NOW, I would get xhrs of sleep until my alarm goes off...

Every airport you go to (even if you've never been there), you get stopped by a passenger and they ask, "How do I get to gate ____?"

...you know which section of your commuter hotel has the best internet connection, but you don't tell anyone because you don't want them taking your room. (as if you're the only one that's figured it out)

You use the ship's flashlight to pre-flight your RJ's static wicks in broad daylight (when not at your F-15 gig) - because you ARE ALPA!
