Three great tips right from God himself, and of course I mean my new found mentor who happens to be our resident Mercedes driving Comair pilot, that I thought I'd share with the aspiring airline pilots here.
1) Hairspray. It gets ink off your uniform, always have it handy.
2) Make a list of what lounges check your ID, and which ones don't. Free food is a good thing.
3) Work=Bad, No Work=Good. If you have to make more than 2 FMC entries, thats work. Which is bad. Let the controller know that.
4) Never date pilots within your own airline. Ever.
5) There are two kinds of female pilots, those who love flying like the rest of us, and those who are doing it out of spite. Know how to identify them and steer clear of the second kind. They're dangerous.
6) Don't make too many friends at your own airline, you'll never see them. Even if you are based out of the same airport and fly on the same days.
7) Fly on A320s as much as possible, be sure to come up with a different sarcastic explanation of the squeaking of the hydraulic pumps on each flight, as if you're in uniform, someone will always ask.
8 ) Complain about everything. Its fun and everyone's afraid to stop you.
9) When on an outing to an Asian Buffet that potentially serves food as well as women, always go in uniform. Always.
10) Once you get to the right seat, stop going after women. Its time they come to you.
11) Don't fly for Mesa.
Keep all that in mind for the rest of your career and you're in for a good time.
