Coworker: "So you're trying to get your pilots license"?

Me: "Yeah"

"But what is that going to do to for you? All that time and money and you just get a toy pilots license"....

I've been flying freight for the past 4 years and I've been asked a variety of questions from relatives and friends who aren't in aviation.....

* So, do you want to become a commercial pilot anytime?
* Do cargo airplanes have to wait till all the pax airplanes have taken off?
My favourite.....Do cargo airplanes fly mostly at night because they are dirty?

Grrrrr....

 

[urflyingme?!]

Oh I got one for ya.

"you the pilot?" (While I'm in uniform, sitting at the conrols, talking to clearance.
"yep."
"You're not the pilot! You're not old enough!"
(This is where I always want to say something crazy, like, you're right... I'm stealing this plane, or I killed the pilot. You know, anything to get em riled up. But then again that story wouldn't pay off my loans...)

me:"Um sure"

In an alternate universe or a different dimension, I would have web handed the nay sayer across the throat and as they hit the floor, I would have asked them how that "airway" obstruction thingy was working out for them.

However, since those other dimensions or alternate universes are not apparent to us, you'd be better off to simply tilt your head back and utter a deep chuckle at the pedestrian dunce.

The commercial pilot one really bugs me. Then I always think of something really cool to say 5 minutes after the moment has passed.

When I was working as a CFI, I was giving this student (about 16 years old) an endorsement for a solo x-country. His mom was standing in the door way of my office. Next to her was one of the student's friend. She turned to him (the friend) and says. "These flight instructors are working as flight instructors to get more flight hours so they can be real pilots someday" I wanted to stop what I was doing and tell the mom to get the kid out of my office. All I said was " excuse me? real pilots?" she said "you know what I mean"

 

[kingsize]

arnt you a little young to be a flight instructor"

You should have said "I'm flattered, but I already have a girlfriend."
