an old friend (and very occasional maggot) used to answer "what do you do" with "as little as possible." He was a ski bum in Crested Butte, so that checked out.Quote:

And most of it is routine and boring, but also once you've heard about one compressor stall and an emergency landing, they're all the same.Quote:

Grumpie's diesel ( ford specialists ) always shows on my FB for some reason and he does a vid about all those mods from and increased milage perspective with a cocktail napkin calculation as to why it doesnt really pay off and then he tells us the only way to increase milage isQuote:

Ha! That's a good one. My old pilots used to talk shop 24/7. At least they were damn good at their job so that's all that mattered. The guys that used to fly fighters off of aircraft carriers then transitioned to heavies and flew Delta in the civilian world always cracked me up. Was like "Top Gun: The Later Years." Always aced the aerial refuels like it was nothing tho.Quote:

You have already blown your cover. Nobody will fess up now. And they make recent vehicles that don't have the gas cap tethered? Shit, that's a new one on me.Quote:

Probably told this story here before, but here's an example. When my friends and I were cocky young(ish) bucks, one of us - I'll call him FO Roger Murdock - was half way across the continent when this transpired. Two of the fight attendants who hadn't met prior to this pairing were chatting in one of the galleys. One mentions their boyfriend works for the company. The other says, "mine too". The first mentions that they and Roger have plans to (do something) and the second says, "hey my boyfriend is named Roger too" ..."not the one up front right now though, right?!!" Yep.
Cut to the flight deck, Roger and Capt Oveur are reading newspapers, drinking coffee, and engaging in light chit chat. "Got some days off?" "nope" "Hmm. Do you like... uh, stuff?"
♫ Bing bong ♪ "Yello" "I need to come up there now!" demands the flight attendant in charge. They open the door, and she comes in with "I have two girls in tears in the forward galley, and one of them is hyperventilating. If this isn't dealt with I'm reporting it as a medical emergency"
Capt Oveur to FO Murdock: "you need to go back and fix this, or you'll be busted all the way down to flying the overnight mail in a light twin" (when Murdock told me the story his exact words were "I saw my career flash before my eyes")
Miraculously, he managed to smooth it over, and now we just laugh about it. Well, all of us except him.
I don't think I'd want to fly in a plane captained by someone dumb enough to date two flight attendants from the same airline at the same time. Same applies to docs who date nurses in the same hospital.
That’s kind of mild compared to the pilots that flew wildfire in Alaska. Those guys…Quote:
