... If your flight bag, carry-on luggage and shoes are being held together by duct tape...

... If you keep bumping your head every time you enter or exit the cockpit...

... If driving your airport car requires a tetanus shot...
 
If you consider an 8 hour layover as being long......

If you consider anything over 8000' to be high altitude.


If you have been caught eating granola bars/cookies from the galley cart.

If you've ever heard the comment from a lil ole lady... "you mean they let them fly?" (referring to the FO)

:D
 
if your main car is a 81 ford with a working 8track player with a collection of ac/dc and jimmy buffet tapes for your passengars pleasure then you might be a a regional pilot.


if you can't non-rev home or anywhere because you can't afford the non-rev fee then you might be a regional pilot.

If you carry a spiderman or britney spears lunchbox you stole from your kids then you might be a regional pilot

if your next contract you sign will be so much better then the current one then you might be a regional pilot. (except eagle pilots who only have 12 more years before they worry about a new contract)

ex-regional pilot but still have nightmares.
 
i meant to say if you believe that the next contract will be better then your current one then you might be a regional pilot. (always is isn't it)
 
...If you plan your commute based on which airlines serve food...

...If you take the extra rolls of toilet paper from the hotels so you don't have to buy your own...

...If you have ever stolen soap or shampoo from the room service carts at the hotel...

...If you have had to put off a haircut until your next paycheck...

...If you know all of the AM radio frequencies and station formats along your routes by heart...

...If the person driving the hotel shuttle makes more than you do...

...If a shuttle driver ever says, "Oh, there's only two of you?"...

...If you don't know what an APU is...

...If you ever have to pull your own chocks...

...If a hotel bar with a free happy hour buffet constitutes a good overnight...

...If the home address on file is actually just a PO Box because you live entirely in a crashpad and the hotels...
 
...you go pester the other carriers caterers during your walkaround for a bistro bag or 'pilot pellets'.

...You think a 12 hour overnight is a long overnight
 
You might be a starving CFI if you read the above posts and long for access to airports and airplanes that do have meal service of some sort. . . somehow, food stamps just aren't available for the CFIs as they are "self-employed."
