Wheels that light up on Roll A Board

[Uncle Bunkle]

Are you freaking kidding me? This morning a goofy-looking FO in GSP was pulling along his rollaboard at O Dark Thirty, and all I see are his sissy wheels lighting up all pretty like. Was a US Air Express guy...who flies there, PSA, Mesa, TSA? Never seen that before, except on some 8-year old kid's wheels on his skates. I felt embarrassed for him, he looked so stupid. It took all I could not to walk up and smack him...where do they find these tools?
This is not one of my b.s. threads either, really happened today.

...you might be a dorky pilot if....

 

[Dirt Doctor]

Consider the source. Most of these door knobs should be flight attendants but they don't qualify so they become regional pilots. I hate my job!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LearLove]

I just flew with a 60+ year old FA that had them.

 

[TOOL CRIB]

I saw an older Delta pilot in ATL with them. I was hoping he was just pulling his FA's bag but he had his flight case strapped on to it.

Seriously people, flashing and spinning lights are for carnivals!

 

[sopdan]

I've only seen FA's with those.

 

[brokedash]

Maybe there letting everyone know they think this business is a circus.

 

[crxpilot]

Why not? Whats wrong with a little fun? Why does everything have to be so serious, and why do you have to judge other people? Just move along if you dont like something.............

 

[Kream926]

do you know how i know he's......ehh nevermind

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

That's just how he "rolls." Don't hate, yo!

 

[siucavflight]

You have to be kidding me, you are worried about someone who you dont know wheels on his roll a board?

 

[405]

So what if dude had blinky wheels...

 

[Nolife]

Who sells flashing wheels?

I'd love to have flashing wheels on the luggage while rolling through the airport on roller shoes... I could get to my flights faster and look good doing it.

What are you kidding, that guy has balls. I would have congratulated him on that if he was in fact a pilot and not a FA.

 

[SpyFlysDOTs]

What is next, Heelys pilot shoes?

 

[OCP]

RC, former chief pilot at ASA had them.

 

[DX Rick]

What is next, Heelys pilot shoes?

Yep. Give it time before you see guys rolling through the terminals. I won't be surprised when I see it.

I've seen some DAL guys with them on their bags.

 

[WalterSobchak]

While I agree those things look stupid one anyone's rollaboard, pax included, allow me to ask this: What the hell does it matter to you? Live and let live, man...





Now that I've got that outta the way...

Bob and Dan on The Ticket in DFW do a weekly bit called "Gay or Not Gay"...so I follow up with this question:

Light-up wheels on your rollaboard...Gay or Not Gay?

 

[WMUSIGPI]

What is next, Heelys pilot shoes?

That would be scheduling's dream. Then they'd schedule your deadhead home (last flight of the night) even closer to your block in times saying, "well you had Heelys, you should be able to skate to your flight in time..."

I have seen a pilot in ORD, in uniform, with the heely, wheel-ies.

In uniform and busting a wheelie.

Geez..
