Youngest pilot at SWA?

[canyonblue737]

Yes, however, one class over the summer had it taken away by one of the head instructors. The instructors decided you shouldn't have to carry it around longer than a week or so. Totally lame.

week after mine they took off 10 lbs of accesories and stripped both back to the core cane and pacifer... also lame. :laugh: still a cool tradition that is going on.

so THATS why that "one guy" in the cafeteria wears that big ole sucker around his neck. I thought he pissed off the intructor or something.

 

[SWA GUY]

The tradition of the cane and binkie was instituted by line pilots and checkpilots. I think we ought to tell the ground/sim instructors to stay outta our traditions!

In fact I'll do just that as soon as my PC is over.

Then, how old's the oldest?

He-he, good point.

On this side of the big 60 wall for sure.

I was the second oldest guy in my AA class at 43..Pre 9-11, Pre TWA, Pre everything.

Good luck to the young dudes that waltz in there in their mid-20a..Good job, good money, good seniority.

Mav1,
Change your avatar! Everyone will think you're "psysicx"!

And with your join date and VERY few posts you'd better change that thing before we all figure out that you're a SOCK for him!

Last I heard the SWA guys weren't having any kind of trouble finding a "good time" on their layovers...

Damn, too bad I pissed off crummie, I'd love to join in on the fun!

Cheers ya'll

Don't even have to cross an ocean for that here. Some of those Florida layovers look like a screening of Caligula. Be careful guy's, first comes love (sort of) then comes marriage (sort of) then comes F/O with a baby carriage. (absotutly!):smash:

That voice went silent when I flew across the ocean on a vacation to Europe years ago. But thank God somebody likes to do it. A 3 hr leg is about as much as my ....mmmm....errrrr....backside can take. But to each his own....its not like I didn't know what the flying was like when I came here.

In talking to my friends who do fly the "long hauls across oceans in big planes", they've told me that most of the F/A's who fly those are the most senior....i.e. old F/A's who are now grandmas and grandpas...unless it's different at "your house."
