Simply hilarious blog from a pilot.

Post by Nark »

I found this surfing another forum, incidentally the one where I was told I needed to be nice.

I'd buy him a beer.

"Taxiing into FLL, there’s an Air Canada airbus parked out on the ramp. Capt. Says, “I hate that color blue. Stupid color for an airline. Not blue. Not white. Looks GAY.”
“The Ambiguously Gay Airline?” I say, like it’s the answer to a question on Wheel of Fortune. I sit up a little straighter like a Mir Cat scanning for predators. He laughs.

I claim responsibility for this act of cultural sabotage. Come get me Canada."

And he has “Capt.” before his name on his patch. Another bad sign. Dark clouds of arrogant asshole are building. I got a bad feeling it’s going to rain shit on my side of the pedestal.

This guy's talents are wasted in a cockpit. Someone needs to tell him he can earn a lot more money for a lot less work if he writes comedy instead!

By the time I get home, I’m pathologically grouchy and am having trouble blinking in unison. I’ve been up for over 36 hours. No wonder no one else volunteered for this trip. I stare at the kids for a while and lob suspicious insults at the wife until she orders me to take a nap. I mumble up to bed.
About the best description of being absurdly tired that I've ever read. I love the "blinking in unison" bit and the "mumble up to bed." :prayer:

The Capt. and I launch (loudly) into a conversation about Stupid Pilot Watches (of which I’ve owned more than a few.) Acres of dial. Multi-function and fierce. Big gaudy rotating bezel computer for quickly calculating how many chicks will assume you have a tiny or no penis.

If you can accessorize one of these with a pair of Ray Ban Aviators, you are guaranteed not to get laid. Ever. This is the sterilization ensemble. Add a class ring and a permanently attached Bluetooth and voila! You are a full blown asshole. Literally a walking O-ring of pretentious fuckheaditude.

I laughed, I cried (because I was laughing), I laughed some more. That is sum damn funny stuff. Would love to read more, and not this Cole's Notes version. If anybody finds the continuing saga, please let us know.

More often than anyone would probably suspect or like to know, rushing kills people and breaks stuff. You end up missing things. Important things.

Wife returned from the wilderness of holiday soul searching. Brambles of conflicted purpose in her hair. A spirit quest to find some way to balance business with family. And there, in the dewy meadow of personal growth – the shiny fresh deer pellets of realization: It can’t be done.
