SWA in SMF 12/23 - Kid in uniform

[shroomwell]

Anybody see the kid walking around in a pilot uniform at SMF today. Did anyone talk to him, seemed a little strange?

 

[ATRCAPT]

That was me. I look younger than I am.

 

[yoyoma]

ha! could have been me too. i was there in uniform and i look young.

 

[say again]

That's the norm these days!! Where have ya been for the past few years??

 

[shroomwell]

No this was a kid, not just some young RJ driver. The uniform was fake, he must have been about 14 and looked to be with his grandfather.

He was eyeballing me in line and asked what airplane I flew. I asked where he was going and he said that he just wanted to show the pilots his uniform. He appeared to not be retarded.

I had a 6 year old kid once come visit the cockpit in a uniform his parents put him in. I showed him all the bells and whistles and asked him at the end if he wanted to be a pilot when he grew up. He scoffed, "No a fireman", turned around and walked out!!

 

[SWA GUY]

Did you ask him if he liked gladiator movies?

OK that counts me out

 

[Captain Overs]

He's actually a real pilot. He's a legacy at major airline "B". See where daddy can get you these days?

Did he have spiked hair with frosted tips and an ipod? I think he may have been wearing a backpack too.

Who really gives a $hit...

 

[Scope out RJ's]

Was it Tanker Clown or MCDU?
Oh wait.....You said he appeared to NOT be retarded!
(apologies to any retards that might have been offended by the reference to tc and mcdu)

 

[Whine Lover]

That was John Travolta's son.

I think they have their own family uniform shop.

[Uncle Bunkle]

Was he wearing cowboy boots?

 

[FLYLOW22]

He appeared to not be retarded.

Appearances can be deceiving.

 

[Smacktard]

He appeared to not be retarded.

Now that's funny, PC or not...

Now THAT is some Christmas cheer! Thanks for the laughs.

A few years ago I was walking through DIA and saw two stone faced, serious looking United pilots walking through the terminal. One of them was pushing what I can only describe as a duck on a stick, except instead of legs, it had wheels. On the wheels were little web feet so when they turned they went, "SLAP, SLAP, SLAP..." down the terminal. The passengers were laughing and pointing. Neither pilot even seemed to notice, just acted serious. Classic.

He appeared to not be retarded.

THIS IS THE FI QUOTE OF THE YEAR!

I have been laughing non-stop for about ten minutes.
