You know your a dorky CRJ pilot when....

[1x1]

....When your phone ring is:

"Whoop-whoop terrain-terrain pull up"

Not sure what is so dorky about the white tennis shoes. Is it because they are white and not red? Is it because they are tennis shoes and not football cleats? Is it because most CRJ pilots were nerds and never wore any type of athletic gear?

I personally bring my white tennis shoes along for a few reasons.

1. Jogging/exercising is a little difficult in Jesus Shoes. Most CRJ dorks don't exercise, so this is not a problem.

2. I don't bring my fancy dress shoes to "look stylish" on overnights as I am not trying to bang the great quality CRJ FA's.

3. If I brought along a shoe for all occassions, I would look like a NWA flight attendant with 7 bags for a 3 day.

Guy's that try to rationalize wearing white sneakers.

 

[IFLYASA]

If you have a ballcap that says ALTS on the front.

Blahahahahahahahhahahahahahaah

Poor guy, how about you wear the cap with lighted wheels on your bag....

 

[crash41]

When you bust up the couch in DFW!

Ill have to jump in. Are we talking about those plain white shoes, or running shoes. I bring my brooks running shoes along, am I all of a sudden a "dork" and dont know it? Please let me know in case I need to pack my Allen Edmonds instead.

 

[phishn@daves]

I'm sorry, I meant to speak only of the white non-athletic type sneakers. You know the type that should have Velcro but are laced.

Complete the outfit with a pair of Khakis, a short-sleeve button down, and the braided belt that you can tuck into your pocket.

Oh good, the fashion police are here. Do you have any suggestions for what an appropriate outfit might be Mr. Queer Eye? Wait, let me guess, etnies, baggy, faux lived-in cargo shorts and a t-shirt with some corporate logo that someone's decided is cool. Also, depending on the weather a beanie of some sort coupled with sweet, wannabe mean-looking biker shades. Am I close? Come on, you know I am. Honestly, this is sad. I can't think of the last time a man has criticized someone's fashion choice. Don't you have anything better to do? If the guy's going to scare away your bar-skanks, ditch him. Otherwise, who cares if a gomer wants to dress like a gomer? What's worse is some loser trying to look like a cool skater/punk to fit in. Or even worse, if he changes his clothing choices because of something he read on flightinfo.

 

[phishn@daves]

I have absolutely nothing better to do!

Actually, I believe it's a soft 'j'.

You beat me to it Bluto. What kind of sissified culture are we living in when a man has the audacity to critized the "fashion" of another man. Probably the same bunch of Metro Marys that only bring one uniform shirt on a 4 day because they need room for their hair gel, three different types of shoes (depending on how they feel that night), and mirror for checking out their spikey hairdo. Cry me a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT

You tuck your belt into your pocket, don't you.

I'm not a metro mary saying it doesn't go with the rest of his clothes. I’m simply saying he is a dork. If you pay attention it really stands out. Now if you're rationalizing because you wear them that’s one thing. For everyone else pay attention you will see. This will come up again, with people confirming it for me.

Dodge, it has nothing to do with working out. I can work out in my GREY NB and not be a dork. Brown, Black, Grey, Blue anything but white are ok. White = Dork. And yes you are a dork!

 

[Flyingfool77]

I can’t believe you guys. I know pilots are dorks in general, but wow there is a lot here. I can’t believe no one else will point out how much of a dork you are. "Build a bridge and get over". OK. DORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[blingair]

I love the regionals forum.

 

[Bluto]

Honestly, I feel for the guys who tuck the belt into their pocket. You just nailed my college roommate. But he's a good guy. A dork? Maybe. But so are the vast majority of people I fly with. Seriously, the white athletic shoe thing is a new one for me. Honestly, who cares? If they're really expensive shoes, can they be white? This is stupid.

p.s. phishn@daves, like your avatar, too.

 

[Flyingfool77]

If they're really expensive shoes, can they be white?

NO! Still a Dork!

 

[suupah]

You know you’re a dorky CRJ pilot that nobody wants to fly with when…..

When you wear a clip on tie.

Nope, that is when you know you no longer give a $h!t about being cool. And focus more on days off, staying comfortable and padding your block time. that is when you know you have become a real airline pilot.

 

[punkpilot48]

Well I guess it's true, ERJ guys ARE smarter than CRJ guys.

Woooooo......High Five!!!!

Oh and one a side note I was out buying new sneakers today and I found a cheap pair I really liked....but the where....WHITE....damm you Flightinfo for making me take 20 min to try on other pairs of shoes.

Stupid peer presure from people I dont care about.

 

[John Pennekamp]

You post a dorky diatribe about APU batteries. Then someone calls you a dork and you respond with agressive, insulting PMs. Then you proceed to post the even more flaming response telling you really how much of a dork you are. Right, Weasil?

On the 145 the small backup battery provides power to the APU control (FADEC) and Batt2 provides power to the APU starter/generator for starting. This is the same idea as on the CRJ. Main batt powers the ECU and bigger APU batt cranks the starter. They just have different names for the batteries is all.

you are real brave being a smart arse on an anonymous forum. I happen to be an instructor on the airplane and was trying to answer the guy's question.

Angry Dork..... Why don't you go home and play more MS flight sim so you can list those as A/C you have flown. News flash, you were never cool.

 

[acarpe3448]

How about you know you're an idiot if...

you don't know the difference between your and you're...

you can't spell ridiculous...

you don't know the difference between Their and There...

you aren't sure if it's grammer or grammar...

Did I miss any?




You know you have nothing to offer when you take the role of grammar police, or you get pissed off when people say "With You" on the radio! Those are your real DIC$ Heads!

 

[Metro752]

I'm really confused, why is wearing white gym shoes dorky with a pair of jeans? When did that happen?

What's wrong with those and a pair of jeans and a T-shirt ?

It's because Flyingfool has a fetish for the way he likes his men dressed.

 

[Metro752]

I dunno he sounds like a spiked hair homo who needs a good punch in the mouth, maybe that'll knock him off his mommys titty

you're right. i was never cool and will never be cool. Nor do i give a flying fck about being cool. GOOSEFRABA

But by the way i dont' have a clip on. i have a zipper tie which is nice cuz it opens up as soon as the door closes and it is always tied perfectly with a quick ziiiiiiiip for the airline pilot show in the terminal.

 

[Bluto]

hehe, you guys crack me up.

 

[biggerguy]

"With you" on the zipper tie, been wearing them for years!
I really dont get the white shoe thing. So, are you dumbasses saying that a pair of nikes or NBs are not "OK" to wear around on an overnight with a pair of levis?
If thats the case, your all a bunch of freakin fags.Go drink your cosmo somewhere else. I thought you were concerned that we drink the correct kind of beer!
Get a freakin life, and I'll even by the beer, but you'll have to make do with bud lite.
