Are you old enough to fly?

(old enough to fly?)

I love that question. I alway answer: "well, no. But please don't tell anyone!"

I upgraded at 20 (BE-20) My sic was 45.
Or I love it when the line guys say captain to my f/o.. It's all good with me! you do the paperwork and stuff, I'll be inside reading my newspaper and drinking coffee.

So....do you want to be a commerical pilot some day?

You know it, buddy.....that one is up there with some of my other Cessna 402 favorites: "Where is the flight attendant?", "What is the movie of the day", and "Where is my inflight meal?"

Then, when you move up to an RJ, you get to hear passengers complain about how it is a puddle jumper.

To top it all off, if I tell people that I fly cargo in a DC-10, they ask me if I ever want to move up to flying passengers!! Nowadays, it just makes me laugh. On the other hand, people probably get most of their knowledge about what we do from bad movies and television programs, so most of them are clueless.

I will add irresponsible reporting.
