... when you do your logbook every day.
... when your logbook contains EVERY leg you've flown.
... when you add up your total time several times a month.
... when every entry in your logbook is written in your neatest handwriting.
... when the "Notes" section in your logbook includes who you flew with.

....

I have a neighboor who is a recently retired major guy, and his logbook reflects all of the above...every leg seperate, every airplane, every crew member, all neat, all added up, from 35+ years of flying.......

Still got plenty of miles left....

...when your $50 Staples flight bag is held together with stickers, speed tape, and safety wire.

I have a neighboor who is a recently retired major guy, and his logbook reflects all of the above...every leg seperate, every airplane, every crew member, all neat, all added up, from 35+ years of flying.......

So I gotta know - How tall is his stack of logbooks?

 

[JohnnyP]

....

Very....... along with the 15+ others, theres three or four with only FE time logged, some of the initial pages are turning yellow and other assorted colors. They smell interesting also.

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".

Buddy as sad as it is, that was pretty funny. Cheers to you my friend. Hope it works out for you and yours.

you know you're a regional FO when you get excited there is a USA today left in the airplane for you so you don't have to fork over the 75 cents in the airport for one.

Drink up

 

[FlaZoomie]

.....who payes for a USA today? what a waste of 3 quarters....

 

[FR8FO]

I wasn't excited when I did this for the first time, but I did say "one-nine thousand" instead of "flight level one-niner-zero."

dude

 

[FirstMate]

you dont tell people the name of your company.... but rather the name of the code share you are flying lately.....United Express, USAir Express, etc...

Just respond, "USAir"....a few seconds pass...followed by a mumbled "Express".

.....who payes for a USA today? what a waste of 3 quarters....

I got 3 quarters from returning smartcarts...

You're making $17,500 a year and have $65,000 in school loans at a 17.3% interest rate.

When you get released from the interview for not being able to contain your laughter at the pay.

Interviewer: "We have the BEST contract in the industry . . ."
You: Snort, buwhah haa hah hah. . .
Interviewer: "But we signed the contract on September 11, 2001. . ."

As if that explained the pay for the first five years being worse than a moderately bad flight instructing job.

Or worse, the airline hires you anyways, and you accept.
