How to tell if you are flying with someone that has passed 60

​

10. Orders a "Geritol frappachino" at Starbucks.

9. Layover clothes consist of black shoes, white knee socks, bermuda
shorts and yellow golf shirt.

8. Yells "I've landed and can't get up", then laughs uncontrollably.

7. Uses his AARP card as a second form of I.D. at the jumpseat desk.

6. Medic alert bracelet keeps setting off the metal detector.

5. Uses the aircraft power outlet to charge up his wheel chair batteries.

4. Carries a Commodore 64 computer on the road.

3. Thinks the Northwest Flight attendants in Narita are "hot".

2. Bids the Wilmington, NC layovers, but doesn't remember why...

And the number one way to tell if you're flying with someone over 60.......

1. Flies across the country with the left landing light on all of the way.

You happen to glance into their flight case and see Metamucil, Bengay and a bottle of 81 mg asprin to boot.

Oh yeah, and they have that musty old man smell. uke:

 

[ATRCAPT]

Parks his Rascal in employee parking.

Straps his walker to his rollerbag.

Always bids ANY Florida layovers.

He's too short to see over the instrument panel.

He's in the lav more than he is in his seat.

Looks like a Q-tip, and smells like depends.

LOL!

Also, if you see a defibrillator in his flight bag.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Knows the difference between passed and past.

Smiles when you say "wow, .1 IFR" when popping through a cloud layer.

Patiently explains radar usage when the FO says "I've never seen a thunderstorm before" (really happened).

Silently dies inside when the hottie flight attendant hugs you and then says "flying with you is like flying with my dad". She then shags your FO on the RON.

 

[Occam's Razor]

Wears underwear older than you.

Wistfully reminisces about the Eisenhower Administration.

Thinks you're talking about DisneyWorld when he hears you mention an "e-ticket".

Knows how to use "The Google".

Gripes about the low fiber content of crew meals.

What would you youngn's do if you didn't have us old geezers to kick around? Enjoy your youth while it lasts, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Move up quicker?

Enjoy your youth while it lasts, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Every time he explains how to improve your flying you realize he is 10x more knowledgeable than you.

I guess my group relates to those that we followed and frankly enjoyed flying with, and yes there were more than a few characters in the group. Like the guys who flew the B17s, B24s and even a few B29 guys in the group. Then there was our CP/VP Flt Ops who had spent 3 years as a German POW after being shot down in his P51 along with another "character" who had played a kid in the Our Gang movies before becoming a P47 pilot and also having shot down over Germany. Same guy who got the nose of a B707 off the ground before realizing that there was a flight control jammed and managed to get the thing back on the runway and stopped without killing anyone or wrecking the airplane. I won't even bore you with the Vietnam drivel as these pilots brought a whle new dimension to our operation and you think your careers are so damaged because of this age 65 debacle that has been heaped upon you. Hell there guys in that spent 10+ years on the panel before even getting a window seat. So suck it up, get involved in your association, or get a new one (probably a bad idea!) but stop whining and posting all the insults as it makes you look like complete morons. many before you have done more, been more, and continue to carry the water without all the whining. One more time, don't worry about this little blip on your careers and watch out for the crooks running your companies. They are the real dangers lurking ahead

Merry Christmas

The small percentage of weak senior pilots does not rate the copilot's juvenile way of expressing their anger at how congress changed the rules. Grow up.
