Until last night, I never thought I would actually hear someone use this line. But wait, there's more.
I'm sitting in a bar last night with two girls and this guy comes up to us, mumbling and pointing to things. At first, I thought he was just talking his way through some rap lyric and dancing or something, but as I listened I realized that he was reading a checklist and giving the girls I was with a passenger briefing. He concludes it with "I'm a pilot."
Here's the rest of our conversation:
Me: Me too. What do you fly?
Him: Beech 1900Ds (He emphasized the "D")
Me: Oh really, who do you fly for? (Like I care)
Him: Continental Connection
Me: Commutair? (We're in Ohio, so I figured Commutair was a safe bet)
Him: No, actually I'm down south.
Me: Colgan? (OK, so I forgot they don't use the Beech on the Continental side of the house)
Him: Actually, I'm down in Florida. I fly for gulfstream.
Me: Oh. (How much did that cost you?)
Him: I know what you're thinking. All that PFT B.S. But it's great, I'm a permenent hire; I make $18 an hour and they're going to help me find a job with another airline.
At this point the girls are ignoring him completely. He went on for another 5-10 minutes about how great this was for his career and how he was turning down jobs with COEX and pinnacle. I didn't quite follow his logic.
Tool.
