Why can't we wear pink t-shirts and jeans like the flt attendants and gate agents?



Or pink dresses?





OOH. Never mind. Not a good look on Timbo.

My airline just finished up a quarter-long audit, and it was a colossal PITA. According to the inspectors, they can't disrupt the flow to do inspections, but if they see something they don't like, they can certainly get involved. We had one guy tell us to dump the flaps and slats so he could get a better look at something he thought didn't 'fit together properly'. It's an -80. Nothing on the wing fits together properly!

One time at Coex in IAH on the E120 the Fed's went right on down the line and downed the 5 airplanes sitting there. But it was an E120. All Feds had to do was ground those airplane from a distance and then go look for something wrong. It'd only take 3 minutes or so to find something.

It's why one day sitting in a long line for takeoff the Captain and I figured out if airliners were women, what kind of women would they be? We figured the E120 was a 17 year old jailbait short cheerleader type. She looked great, she's fast , you feel kind of hot under the collar with her, she has a ton of issues and would wear you out with her attitude... but if anyone ever caught you with her, you're going to jail.

Her 18 year old sister, the E-145, she was long, proportional, happy to help you, smart, fun, easy, etc.

We were bored. We chalked up the 737 to a old maid. The 757 is what you'd expect, the 753 is taller, the 777 was a Gloria from Modern Family type.

"never touch" was all we ever heard in ground school. So after getting my knees whacked by the yoke, and looking out the cockpit to see this joker messing with MY AIRPLANE, I stormed down the boarding stairs and read him the riot act. I'm sure had I not been 25, poor, stressed, tired and probably hungry, I would have been more diplomatic about the whole thing. He sat quietly in the back of the plane for the flight though... never heard or saw him again!
Remember when TSA used TAT probes to break into aircraft?

TSA Snafu Grounds Nine Planes at O'Hare Field - ABC News

My favorite line:

Pilots were furious at the TSA misstep.


"The brilliant employees used an instrument located just below the cockpit window that is critical to the operation of the onboard computers," one pilot wrote on an American Eagle internet forum. "They decided this instrument, the TAT probe, would be adequate to use as a ladder," the pilot wrote.

And then TSA praises the TSA agent as a hero...

Favorite line about the shut down: "Let's not get carried away people, it's not like McDonalds shut down."

Funny, one of my Bro captains and I just had this same conversation. Only we decided the 120 is more like a rough 'n' ready cougar, like a Harley girl with that whisky-and-cigarettes raspy voice. On autopilot, and she doesn't do what's in the box, you have to give her the backhand and say, "No. You're going THIS way." Likes it a little rough.

Tho the 17-yr old comparison does apply to her wanting a lot of your attention. A real trim ho. Always wants your hands on her.

You forgot the all important easy Md88 and her slutty friend the DC9. You know the two crazy, wild, out-of-control girls who drink too much at the party and can't handle the booze or attention. By far not one of the smartest and sexiest girls at school, but they dress trampy enough and just about guarantee to put out. One of the few girls who allow access through their back door. Just about every pilot at Delta has been inside her at least once. Perhaps a B rate actor in a low budget horror movie such as Megan Fox in Alligatorquake. Probably not the best of films, but guaranteed to have a topless/nude scene.
