A friend of mine flying for a regional told me a story of a conversation he, the FO and FA had in a local watering hole on a 30 hour layover. They told the friendly people at the next table they were in town for the Geico convention, and had a great talk about insurance.
Guess who was riding the back of the RJ when the crew left town the next afternoon?>>>>>

My favorite response to "how long have you been flying?" is "today's my first day, but the captain's been here almost three weeks."

Great thread....

Often I have renters who are students in the local flight program. Occasionally they might see an aviation sticker on my truck and ask why I am now a landlord.

The look on their faces after I tell them what I made as a pilot and how I do now is priceless.

I should just say that.

The Korean lady at my dry cleaners said to me once, "I didn't know UPS has airplanes?"
I said, "Yeah, how do you think packages get from Asia to the states in one day?" Then the light bulb went on. She's like "oh yeah!" Too funny.
