"You might be a Regional pilot if..."

[MJG]

You might be a regional pilot if..... (these are all true)

You've ever had to take all the passengers off your plane so you and the 2 rampers could push it backwards by hand to get around a stalled fuel truck.

You've ever had your lunch sitting on the center pedestal only to go flying to the last row of the plane on takeoff and then have it returned by the guy sitting in the last row after you level off.

You've ever had a passenger come up and pass you a note that says, "I took some medication before takeoff and now I have to go to the bathroom really bad, what do I do?"

You've ever flown around with your pants rolled up above your knees because the damm a/c is busted.

You've had an "interested" passenger snap a flash photograph from the back, about 20 feet off the ground during a night landing.

You've ever had to personally pee in a trash bag in front of your fellow aviator cause you just couldn't hold it any longer.

At least your Captain wasn't a sh!thead

As a B99 FO I had a passeneger in the first row, throw up on my back as I was flying (no door and the curtin did not close).

We use to slide our hats (open side up) under the last seat (B99). The last seat was just in front of a cargo area that only seperated the cabin with a net. A kid went into the cargo area and tried to use a barf bag as a toilet with a bad case of diarrhea that he blew all over the cargo area. The kid was a mess when they landed and the Captains hat was full. The Captain only made $14,000 a year and the hat was $90. He threw it out.

Oh, the good old days...

Along those lines:

I had a friend that flew the J31 for ACA with no lavatory on board. He used to put his gym bag/over night bag behind the last row of seats. He was on a 1.5 hour scheduled flight that turned in to 2.5 hours. When he got to the hotel, he noticed all of his clothes were wet and realized that some pisse off passenger had relieved himself in his RON bag.
