A Capt once told me his wife kept nagging him to take her on an overnight. Finally he did. Took her a a nap, CDO, whatever you want to call it, of less than 5 hours on the ground. She never asked again. Beautiful.

I was overweight by 200 pounds (overfueled)...booting a pax would have solved the problem, but the only non-rev was my wife...

So we sat at the hold short line and told tower we needed to do a five-minute "engine runnup"...in a CRJ.

Wasting fuel for a good time eh? Stick it to the man!
 
Just watch out if you take them out of the country. They'll nail you with taxes to get back in.

I've done it a few times with no real problems. I would call the station personel and let them know the day before that she was there and would be traveling out with us. They always had a ticket ready and we never had a problem with her showing with the crew. The mistake I made was taking her on the overnight at one of the nicest hotels in the system. She then wouldn't believe me when I told her how crappy another hotel was. Owell. Cya
 
Take her to the Sleep Inn in Buffalo -- she'll never doubt your crappy hotel story ever again!

(For an extra bonus, have her wear white socks and walk around the carpet for about five minutes. :puke: )

I cannot believe that I'm going to be the first to point out that you just said on a public message board that your wife is 200 pounds.:laugh: Before everyone jumps all over me for saying it, I understand what he was talking about, and I thought it was funny. It was a joke!
