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.

[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.
