Not saying one is better than the other just that we have what I think are a lot of lonely captains that use this confined space to get all of their social interaction in. I get it, some have great social lives and also like to talk and this all applies to FOs as well.

I just tend to air on the side of being more quiet than more chatty. To each their own.
We should fly together. We really should. You’re right, a lot of people suck at picking up social clues.

I am down to eat dinner one day of a 3 day max. I am buying. We are going offsite. Other than that, see ya when I see ya. I have plenty of fun all by my lonesome. I suspect you can do the same.
The best is when we’re at an airport hotel and it’s a walk not a van ride the next day. “What time do you want to lobby?”. Uh…..I’ll see you at the plane at __:__ 🙄

Hahaha I’ve had one tap me on the shoulder with my eyes closed and AirPods in on a ludicrous early van ride. It blew my mind that “humans” like that exist.

That deserves a throat punch. There’s a reason I don’t do AM’s….ever. I don’t want to see another human before 9 am.

Yep. Uhh..I'm getting breakfast, I'll see you at the plane. N

No need to walk in lockstep and talk about our quality of sleep.

I sit in the back row on early van rides, Sony walkman earphones clamped to my head. I’m preparing my mind, I say nothing. As the van reaches the curb I screech “Ka Kaw ! Ka Kaw” ! and lunge for the door handle.

I am an AM-er. I love them.

Must be some computer glitch.

I pushed the ‘Southwest’ button on the computer screen and now I’ve found myself in the Delta forum.
Sorry Kernels… I’ll see myself out.

Hey we’re just discussing proper etiquette during AM’s, not about dressing each other down before we go do a “mission.” 😆
