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

[Amish RakeFight]

You think you have a future at the majors. (or has this already been said?)

You blow your entire first paycheck on an Ipod Nano. Then, in your infinite wisdom, you negotiate for 10 free downloads.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

You hope that on your 32-hour layover that your room has a micro-fridge, so you can raid the breakfast buffet in the morning and provide yourself with food for the whole day.

 

[Missed Approach]

You need an extra tall flight case to fit your DCs.

You spent more on 747, 767, and 777 stickers for your flight case, then on the actual flight case.

This is your "flight case"

You have read all 18 pages of this thread while laying on a bed made from seats 3ab, a board, and 3cd.

You have made a PA announcement that started out "Welcome about Midwest conne...umm...United Express flight 613."

30,000 feet while your jet climbs at 300FPM....

FO: Yes Capt.

When you avoid all 877 and Unavailable numbers calling you daily. Sorry I can't pay that this month (or the next)

This response made me almost choke on my breakfast.

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.

Q. Whats the difference between a large pizza and a regional FO?

A. a large pizza can feed a family of four.

You and the kid are walking through the store and she shouts out "look daddy, big shampoos".

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.

Well played, sir.
