I was sittng here in my posh hotel room enjoying a nice long layover, and wondering about guys that retire from the commuter airlines. What kind of ceremony do they get when they pull up to the gate?
We all know the big boys get the fire trucks, parties, bonuses and laid....
but what does the little guy get who is forced to retire from an RJ?
Here are some ideas, feel free to add you own:
1). The rampers "whip it out" and whizz arcs over the j-line.
2). A big sewer pipe is attached to the door thus fullfilling the pilot's goal of flying a plane that uses a jetbridge.
3). There's a 'training contract' burning ceremony at the gate, complete with Wheat Thins and a sixpack of LaCroix.
4). The Chief Pilot is 'busy', but the 26 year old assistant chief pilot slaps you on the back and says "Sucks to be you", before telling you to turn in your flashlight and manuals so you don't get $500 deducted from your last $1,650.oo paycheck.
