That's cool, I guess, if you want/need hipster street cred.

"I fly for xyz airlines, you've probably never heard of them."

A conversation I had with the guy next to me on a mainline dh.

Guy: So, have you been with Delta very long?

Me: No, Sir, I don't fly for Delta. I fly for Mesaba.

Guy: I've never heard of Mesaba. That sounds like an STD.

Hence my name... Dick Burns. True story

Just like it was fun for the Emirates crew at the 5-Star DFW hotel some time ago where the fat new Delta pilot finds his way to chat up the model-lookalike EK FAs and bragged about being the 757 pilot. The 5'9" Swedish FA then points to the 6'2" former Royal Air Force pilot and says: "...he's the A380 captain and flew Eurofighters...what did you do before Delta?" He said he was a C-130 pilot. "...so you weren't a fighter pilot then," she said. “…no, I wasn’t,” the little man said and calmly got up and left the bar area while allowing the EK crew to have the best laugh. Well done!

It wasn't you, was it?

Your [and of few others on this Thread] sentiments reeks of insecurity by mindlessly comparing yourselves with regional pilots while conveniently forgetting that most Major airline pilots in the US come from regional feed. You’re welcome.

See there?

No originality in those guys.

I would've replied with, "Well, I used to go by the stage name 'Dirk Diggler'. Ever see one of my movies?"

Tell him I'm sorry he didn't have what it takes to work for British Airways.. Such an obvious comeback. ;)

No Delta pilot was laying over at a five star hotel!

Curious. Do YOU think it was not extremely arrogant of the Emirates FA to compare her Captain's relative height advantage, his CA seat on the A-380 (as if that somehow makes him a superior pilot), and his time in Eurofighters to this Delta pilot, and then laugh about him as he walked away?

News for you. It was.
