You might be a "Kernal"

[labatt]

Patent leather shoes, long sleeve shirt and a hat.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If your uniform includes a leather western belt with your old call sign stamped into the back, you might the "HEATER"...and a huge tool. (true story!)

If your layover "uniform" consists of a braided belt, tucked in shirt and jeans accessorized with white tennis shoes.

If you keep talking about the 'Tweet'...

I almost bought a T-37 in my misspent youth.

You append an "s" to the end of your callsign.

You ask for a ride report every single time you're handed off and/or address ATC in a accusatory manner anytime you encounter light chop. i.e. You're the turbulence police.

You taxi no faster than 8 knots after landing at DFW on 17L all the way around the ES loop.

You use your own made up words for the phonetic alphabet.

When jumpseating offline, you address the working crew with, "Looks like I'm up here with you."

If you touch each switch to verify its position while the before start checklist is being read,..... you might be a kernal

If you have your "call sign" on your name tag

 

[Ty Webb]

If you give a big push forward on the yoke during the takeoff roll "Because that's how we used to do it on the Electra".

Oops, sorry, wrong thread.

Clear VFR and calm yet:

ATIS auto update
Auto land test before every leg
Auto brakes every leg
Scared to death of wake etc...

Whew. Dodged that by one item.

Whew. Dodged that by one item.

You added the girdle as hotel bar attire?

Seriously? Hope his callsign wasn't BOHICA.

Anyone who calls you "chief" or wears a bolo tie on a layover...

Don't forget the air of superiority while they nonchalantly f^ck up about every 6 seconds but don't care bc this isn't a fighter-
Well, that's only when they realize they screwed up- most of the time they're telling themselves "I am ssoooo good" "this guy probably admires me" "f^cking undertrained civilian- we'll see if he pays attention and actually learns anything"
