When your 7 year old daughter ask you what kind of jobs make good money and you throw out the usual Doctors, Lawers, Engineers, Pilots. At which point your 7 year looks at you and says "Dad... pilots don't make any money", and you say-yes honey your right.

While waiting for the hotel van you strip yourself of all airline garb, epaulets, and such, only to have the other regional crew ask what you're doing. When you tell 'em you just quit and are going back to flight instructing, they look upon you with envy, "man, I wish I could do that!"

You ask and are granted permission from your CP to continue flight instructing on the side, "pays the bills."

Flight instructors don't want your job.

You thought *fifteen* MELs was bad, 'til another crew shows you *twenty-one* (yah Mesa!). They aren't passenger comfort items either.

You have a ready supply of resumes in your flight kit for the jumpseaters.

Once the door has closed, you're off the ground, and handed to center for a few precious moments in cruise, you'd rather not be anywhere else.

Being the last one off the plane on the last day of your trip so you can fill your overnight bag with cokes and bottled water to take home.

You are a regional FO if the FA is actually younger than you are!

Can't read the checklists properly

Even after being told multiple times how to do something, you still can't seem to get it right

Touchdown 2500ft. from the threshold 15 knots fast, and then say "aww yeah that was a good one" because it was a smooth touchdown.

You forgot to include: 15 feet to the right of centerline.

 

[plunger]

You complain about crew scheduling to try and fit in even though you haven't been online long enough for them to screw you.

When you brief the ILS missed approach procedure when you're setting up for a visual.
