I tell my FOs to do that all the time in the Metro! Especially in the winter time.

Isn't that what the starter test is for?

The FBO's lock up all Popcorn and Snacks when you arrive. You keep the beacon on so the Feds can not ramp check you. You load the aircraft from the cockpit ( MU2) because otherwise you could not get into the cockpit. ATC asks you if you would mind finding the path way through thunderstorms and you happily agree. If you do not hear the overspeed warning you know you are flying to slow. MX makes sure you always have Duck tape and Speed Tape in the plane at all times. Your Janitrol heater didnt light and you nearly got frost bite. Your minimum decent is 6000ft per min. You are flying so far you are fuel critical the minute you start the engines.

When passengers ask you if you eventually want to "fly for the airlines" one day, or have never heard of your airline when you tell them who you fly for.

After an in-flight engine shut down and knowing you'll be down a couple of days because it's another cracked jug, you change your diversion airport to one a little farther away because you realized your first choice is in a dry county.
