I can't remember the last time I flew with a reserve.

And gosh darn it, people like me!

Hahahahahaha

Not saying it's you but in my experience if the guy says I'm easy going and relaxed when you meet them, you know it's going to be a long trip. You don't have to say it, compensating for something? Just be it.

I'm neither young nor old nor stupid. I just have a sense if humor that requires more than Internet memes and half-witted recycled Jeff Foxworthy jokes.

Edit: And thanks for the laugh.

Bonus!! +1

Yesterday, 2 DHDs no flying. 1 hr 10 minutes to get to third hotel (messed up scheduling).

Today 1 DHD, no flying. 55 min to get to hotel.

Republic reserve life rules.

I'll add one:

You have a laminated card that you hang on your hotel door. It says "Flight Crew Checking out at xxxx on xxx. Please don't knock (again)." Maybe one in Spanish too.

I don't have one but I'm considering making one. Maybe I'll make a vacuum cleaner area denial weapon too.
