After two month at TSA, my father actually asked me if I was going to be flying...apparently he thought they paid me to fly around in the back DH'ing all day long!! Wooooow, I just said.

I just say I'm in the "transportation" business, if they ask further, then I know I'm in trouble.

I used to be a zamboni driver for the St Louis Blues. Now that I've moved to IND, I'm the director of bat boy training for the Indianapolis Indians.

I sometimes tell people that I'm an Aircraft Systems Manager.

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. Just learn to live with it. They mean well, they probably have never spoken to a "Sky God" before. My favorite question was " How do you see through those clouds? Do you have special glasses?"

When you fill out applications and for occupation they never have "pilot". I put "other" in the box. Maybe I should tell people i'm an "other".

I love when I am talking with family friends telling them that I fly for a regional and then they are like, "Well I don't trust those small planes, they don't seem as safe"

LOL Like size has any correlation to safety!

I also hate when people refer to regionals as "puddle-jumpers" as if they aren't a real airline.
