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

[bizicmo]

You can get a cup out of the trash for free and just wash it out.

 

[NuGuy]

You use the hotel coffee maker to heat up soup or easy mac! And don't have enough to share with the F/A.

Ewwww...man, you really don't want to do that.....yuck

Nu

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.

This is great! When I worked in LIT as a CS Agent for ZW thats exactly what I did.

....

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

....You talk smack, in detail, about how you are going to deny jumpseats to scumbag bottom feeders.

 

[airfish]

When the question "Are you ever gonna be a real pilot?" doesn't bother you any more.

Or,

If you've ever had a sick passenger make poo on the ceiling in the lav.

Just a couple of my joyous experiences.

 

[Erlanger]

.. when everywhere you go, you're asking for a discount.

 

[arthompson]

airfish did that happen to you today?

 

[airfish]

No, not today.

I also liked it when a 5-6 year old little girl was leading her father onto the airplane. The little girl was excited, the father was white as a ghost. The only part of the conversation that I heard was when the little girl said, "OH Dad!! Get over it! So it has propellers! So does your boat and you get in it all the time."

True stories are always the best theropy.

 

[arthompson]

I asked if that happened today because my company had something similar happen in the lav of an aircraft

 

[ShamH85]

Or is desperate times TAP WATER magically turns into sprite.

LOL!!

 

[Way2Broke]

Oh come on like none of you do the same thing. Its just like taking extra packets of hot sauce home from Taco Bell to use later. Well kinda....... There will always be a place in my crew bag for a empty cup from various fast food joints!

It use to be much easier to just order a water and get a coke, but those fast food types are slick. Maybe that is why they pay them more than me? They switched to clear cups! That is why I always get sprite now!

 

[Flying-Corporal]

W/out anyone seeing you, you take a few rolls of a toilet paper from the ops room to your crashpad so that you don't have buy it

.. when everywhere you go, you're asking for a discount.

Funny, that's exactly what I do.

 

[stb]

You know one stayed in the hotel room the night before when some light bulbs and the TV remote batteries are missing.

 

[mamba20]

You know your a Mesa regional pilot when you wear Dockers instead of the required uniform pants.

Alot of TAco bells started keeping teh sauce behind the counter cause of guys like me. I would just drive up to taco bell on taco nite and grab sauce packets and not even buy a thing.

Dude that's EVERY regional, not just Mesa...

 

[wmuflyguy]

I got mine from JC penny's. F$%k Cintas!!!! Their pants couldn't be less comfortable and are pretty much destroyed afte a couple of months.

 

[flyflorida2001]

...you collect SmarteCarts in the airport and return them for 25 cents.

There's something wrong with that? Hey....I only need to roll through the terminal with20 of those bad boys to get me a Big Mac combo.

 

[Booker]

Just lift it from the hotel room; it's a lot easier. (Unless you don't do overnights, obviously.)

 

[ReverseSensing]

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

You're bummed that the Wendy's in the food court got rid of the junior bacon cheeseburger on the $.99 value menu.

Your ACP wrote a memo about pilots raiding the food and bev trucks, and you're pretty sure he's talking about you.
