If the best suit of clothes you own is your uniform, you might be a regional airline pilot.

 

[BigFlyr]

... 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...

 

[Saabslime]

If you consider an 8 hour layover as being long......

 

[TedCFII]

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)

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

What galley cart?? I guess that definitely makes me a regional pilot.

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.

 

[machspeed]

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)

 

[Birddog]

...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...

 

[jetexas]

...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."

If you have to repeatedly ask the flight attendant to move all the passengers forward to get the plane into CG.......

 

[surplus1]

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

Are you sure you didn't mean "referring to the CA"?

If they won't let you into public places ..... unless they also sell food.

 

[WileE]

If you think an autopilot is the guy who drives the taxi from the hotel...

If your idea of air conditioning is getting above ten thousand feet...

If your passengers have to go through security AFTER they get off your plane...

If the government pays you to fly to east nowhere TX regardless that you never have more than one passenger who wants to go there...

If you ever have been assigned 5000 as a final altitude...

If you've ever cancelled a flight because you can't get the airplane shovelled out of the snow...

If you have the maid do the room so you can get more free coffee...

If you search the back of the seats every flight on the chance you might assemble a full USA Today and save 50 cents...

You might be a Regional Pilot.

If you bought your kit bag at Office Depot, you might be a regional pilot.

If Tower regularly tells you, "Traffic two mile final- no delay- cleared for takeoff!", you might be a regional pilot.

If passengers walk up the stairs to your plane holding their ears because of the shrieking A/C packs, you might be a regional pilot.

If approach control tells you, "reduce to final approach speed, you're five-zero knots faster than traffic four miles ahead", and you still make the landing, you might be a regional pilot.

If a regular summertime perk for your passengers is a napkin soaked in ice water, you might be a regional pilot.

If you wear black tennis shoes with your uniform, and the stripes on your jacket sleeves are so worn and fuzzy, they look like strips of Velcro, you might be a regional pilot.

If your passenger's journey with you begins or ends on a bus, you might be a regional pilot.

If one of your passengers walked out of the terminal and mistakenly got on another airline's aircraft, you might be a regional pilot.

If center tells you to expidite your climb, so you increase to 800 feet per minute, you might be a regional pilot.

If the flight attendant says "Thanks, watch your head. Thanks, watch your head" as the passengers get off, you might be a regional pilot.

If you still have an 8 track in your car....
If you bum money from the rampers for lunch to tide you over till a happy meal at dinner....
