You never spend money on shampoo, soap, shaving cream, or skin lotion.

You've also reached an elite breed of ubber airline pilot when you can program one of those freaking super complex alarm clocks at the Hilton's.

Dude, the Hilton ones are easy. They even have directions written right on them. It's those damn Crowne Plaza ones that get me every time.

You set 3 independent alarm's cell phone, alarm clock, and wake up call (redundancy)

You reply "Rodger" or "no questions" to your wife.

You make check-lists for everything.

You refer to gas a fuel.

It's "royer" if you're an XJT pilot.

Thanks for reminding me! Time to run the engine shutdown and terminating checklist for bed. Goodnight!

You have reached the ubber pilot status I mentioned!

You're right though, after a while some of them look the same. If it's shiny silver or has a bunch of buttons on it I just write it off as being above my pay grade.

Yeah, but I dig that background lit digital time display. So it can be a bit of a conundrum for me.

Another way to tell when you are an airline pilot. You look at your legs, and determine which airport has the best crapper in case you gotta strategically time you BM.
