Playing the Pilot Card

[skygirl1968]

HA HA HA. A chick that has to work on getting laid.

did i say anywhere in that post that i was working on getting laid? its a great conversation starter. i suppose by using the terminology that i did, it sounded like that but its not what i meant. i used the phrase "picking up guys" loosely (no pun intended) and doesn't mean i'm taking them home. talking about aviation, flying...etc is a good way to weed out the idiots that only want to get in your pants by saying that they are pilots

Im sexy enough to get laid no matter what I say.

Wow... I have a few things to add.
1. Who F'in cares if people use the "Im a pilot" to get chicks?
2. Why are some of you so afraid to say, I am a pilot? If you hate it that much then why did you waste all that time and money to get to where you are?
3. Why make up stupid occupations just to avoid saying you are a pilot? You are a pilot, so just tell them

Indeed.. I don't get it.. I wont yell it of the roof, but if they ask me what I do, I tell m... big freaking deal.

DORKS

Agreed. Pilots are just comic-book guys and trekkies who envision themselves as starship captains.

I bagged my doctor wife by telling her I was a broke commuter pilot trash flying a little 37-passenger puddle jumper for about $1500/mo, sleeping on an air mattress and making fancy meals out of ramen noodles with 2 other roommies.

Imagine her response....

"WHAAAAAAAAT???? You're a pilot and you make $1500/mo???"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Oh you poor thing.... here, let me take care of you."

Needless to say, my commuter years weren't that painful after that, occasional emotional trauma aside.

All how you play it......

I've got to get one of those doctors, I would even go with the head nurse.

If asked, I'm always too embarassed to tell a chick I'm a pilot, I just go with the unemployed rodeo clown bit, works every time.

Nothing says desperate and creepy like trying to use your career to get you laid. It doesn't matter what career it is. Also it annoys me because most professional aviators, like major airline pilots don't use it; it's usually the dorky student piltos that try it. Personally, I have never played that card ever and wouldn't even think about using it.

I played the pilot card once, right after i got my private pilot license. At a bar, conversation went on till the "what do you do?" question came up. I told the girl, trying to act all cool, I'm a pilot...she responded Bull...I tried to convince her that it wasn't a cheesy pick up line. I told her I could prove it and showed her my pilot license, it was the old paper license..she looked at it and said..This isn't real..you're full of sh--! That ended that.

And then there was the time I was in uniform, brand new co-pilot with my shiny bars on, checking out of a hotel and another hotel guest came up to me and asked if I could get his car for him.

My 2 proudest moments in aviation!
