How do you know if there is an airline pilot at a party???

Hey what’s wrong with staying at the Hayes hideaway bed and breakfast. You get a welcome letter and 10% off the breakfast (free for others)

3. You would have seen no more than a couple posts from me in this thread about ego if there wasn't a bunch of guys saying pilots don't bid based on ego. Which simply isn't true. Those denials are the only reason you have seen additional posts from me on the subject.

Hey man if I move up because they move over it’s good with me.

Right under the Jack the Ripper Museum (aka murder site). JB pilots get 10% off admission but only on Tuesday from 2-4.

Bro, do you even SQ?

Another thing is it’s like the guys who still brag about being in the first 190 class. Guys want the mark of being the first...the first london class. Or the first 220 class. Or whatever. Something about being the first to do something seems to be a thing.

I believe this has to do with nature and being the first sperm to the egg 😁

NE-London is “TATL-light“ which could be done by a standard crew in many cases. 1.5 hours in a mint seat should do nicely. There are much longer transcons.
