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

[blueridge71]

... you bid for late shows at hotels with free breakfasts.

 

[arthompson]

LOL! That is so true!

 

[ReportCanoa]

...you think you're the captain.

 

[Turtlesfly]

crap this post is funny!

You know you're a regional FO when you get locked outside the jetbridge door from doing the post-flight walk-around and the rest of your crew has already gone to the street to catch the hotel van without you.

Geico

You buy Comair...with all the money you saved switching to Geico.

 

[Erlanger]

...when you're jumpseating on your days off to nowhere (and as a bonus, you're lucky enough to get 1st. class) and return home the same day, so you can get a free meal or two, some drinks and even get a movie or two in.

 

[OPECJet]

You talk on the radio faster than the airplane flies. Settle down Beavis.......

if you've ever had a crash pad blanket party...

 

[CoolSidePillow]

you tell girls at bars you are a pilot

 

[dojetdriver]

you wear your sunglasses in the airport

I saw a mainline pilot today doing this. Granted, he works for the only legacy that is hiring now but still pays regional FO pay to it's year one guys.

 

[Terrain Terrain]

you tell girls at bars you are a pilot

HAHAHAH YES!!!

I have a roomate in my crashpad that drops the "pilot bomb" in the first 3 min of any female encounter. But he acts like its not his fault. example"

Her: so where do you work
Him: at the airport
Her: what do you do there?
Him: I work for XXX airline
Her: Thats cool, what do your do for them?
Him: Ahhh, not much, I AM A PILOT
Her: Really?
Him: Yea
Her: (in her mind) you can feed me $$$$

yea every time, he got laid last though, so good for him I guess

 

[lowlycfi]

You bring home $50 more in a month than another on similar equipment and get on Flightinfo.com to tell the world the other guys are one of the following:

1. Whores
2. Bottom Feeders
3. Lowering the Bar
4. Backstabbers

My vote for the second best post...

 

[suupah]

when you fly those little planes. eww i hate those things! are they safe? So when are you going to be an airline pilot?

 

[arthompson]

Since I'm not a pilot I tell girls I work in Flight Operations....no it doesn't help the pick ups.

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

You hang out by Asian Chao in F terminal to get as many free samples of the bourbon chicken before the non-english speaking manager tells the sample girl to make you buy some....


You walk away without buying any....



You come back at shift change.....

 

[Cardinal]

When you grab a fistful of free fortune cookies from the Asian Chao/Panda Ex and the little oriental lady glares at you - you glare back.

 

[arthompson]

How about when you only eat at places that give an airline discount

 

[bizicmo]

You work part time as TSA at the airport. I could make more on my off days then in the plane. To bad every co-worker would have a comment about it.

 

[arthompson]

you hope you're company offers TDYs so you can move out of your crash pad

 

[Way2Broke]

WHEN YOU KEEP YOUR BURGER KING CUP SO THAT ALL THE REFILLS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ARE FREE (GUILTY AS CHARGED). When it finally wears out and you have to buy a new one you are sad to see it go. Or is desperate times TAP WATER magically turns into sprite.
