You know you are a regional FO when.....

[threegreen]

When you and you're 3 other roommates are sitting on the floor of the new crashpad watching Family Guy on the laptop because you can't afford chairs or a real TV.

Sorry Guys, I had to post it!!

Sounds familiar!

...when you listen to your captain talk about the "glory days" for hours on end and about all the crazy/fun stuff he used to do on overnights, and then when you get to the hotel he makes up some excuse about his back being sore/headache/other old person ailment and then proceeds to slam-click you and the 50 year old FA you're with.

I did, and from what I remember had no problems. Keep in mind this was 12 years ago and I don't remember load factors being what they are now.

You get caught removing a duffel bag full of muffins from the corporate lounge at Flight Safety, and then have to write an apology, as well as apologize to the manager in uniform.

You wouldnt know about this from experience would you? That is probably the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.

while commuting you walk in the airport wearing
- a backpack
- listening to your ipod
- with your uniform shirt with epaulets but no tie and
- black sneakers with white socks

I didn't think regional F/O's could afford laptops. Arn't real tv's (the small ones bought at Wal-Mart) cheaper than laptops.

I hesitate to say this, but the only guy (in STL) I've seen wearing epaulets but no tie was a captain

No woman can possibly resist this . . ..

In addition to the pilot uniform, and the Ray-Bans, you carry a guitar around on your back while walking through the terminal.



(WTF? I've only seen regional FO's doing this maneuver . . . )

 

[WMUSIGPI]

You actually looked forward to furlough because unemployment was an income increase and it meant you could spend more than 4 nights a month with your wife.

The captain tells you "don't worry I'm sure after the concessions are approved you'll be recalled right away" and you respond "How, I can't afford a telephone as it is".

I gave my love a cherry, that haaad noooo stoooonnne...

Aww, look! He's moved on to "Stairway." And he sucks. That one dude in PHL that was just ATROCIOUS... yet... still. played.

Impress me- bust off some Albeniz, Bach, or really show me something and gimme some Paco de Lucia or Manitas Platas. And Classical Gas is as much a hack as Stairway to Heaven.

You carry your own personal cockpit window sun shade, and it doubles as your "homeless, tired, hungry, got any loose change?" sign.
