May all your layovers be reduced rest with no compensatory period.
All layovers will be "reduced rest" - because I'll be swimming in the hot GoJet FA's all night/every layover. Everyone knows that is all airline pilots do on layovers anyway.
In fact, I think I'll start a thread on JetGirls asking what all of them think about "their pilots" (something about that makes me giggle. Sounds like "My Schnauzer" to me - it's just silly) - anyway, what they all think about "their pilots" banging all the hot FA's on their layovers. I bet MikeD a steak that it would cause massive amounts of angina.
Which reminds me of a joke:
Old man picks up an old woman at a bingo game. They decide to go back to his place and they start making out. They decide to get busy and are getting undressed. Woman, now topless stops before taking off her pants. She says, "I must warn you, I have acute angina"...to which the guy replies "I sure hope so, cause you've got the ugliest boobs I've ever seen!".
EDIT - just wanted that in prior to the thread being closed and moved.

When Maggie was about four or five we were snowed in at the in-laws and had to spend the night. Maggie accidently walked in on my mother-in-law in the tub. She came out and was having snack and she said "Grandma sure has big boobs. And they are loooong!".
I still laugh about that.

I travel in uniform all the time on full-fare tickets (though I normally change out of uniform if I'm on my way home), and haven't yet been questioned about it. Just a "Thanks guys" on the way out the door, and no big deal. One Delta captain looked like he was about to say something to me once, but after my head nod I just kept on walkin'.
I've been questioned a few times doing that. So I now just stop in the Cockpit and say hi and tell them I am on a paid ticket. Most crews seem to appreciate that. I've only had a captain make me prove it one time and show him the full fare ticket.

That's just, like, your opinion, man
Eh, the way I see it I'm just a regular passenger who happens to be wearing a monkey suit. If they want to challenge me on it, it's on them to come back and have me prove it. Until they do... *turns up iPod*

Usually they have a list of something like "146 PAX, 1 UM, and 2 ACM." I'm no ACM!

Had a smartass captain ask me that once. "You the UM?" I had no idea what he meant then the whole flight crew started laughing. I figured it out.

That's what you get for picking up chicks(roosters?) at the Bingo hall.

Isn't it a little silly to put so much focus on how an opperation started as opposed to what it is today?
When Valuejet was batting 1,000 in 1995/6 and got grounded by the FAA, they knew their image was forever tarnished and bought AirTran Airways. AirTran was just a tiny 737 opperation out of MCO, Valuejet just wanted to paint something else on their airplanes to fool the public back onto them. Fast forward to 2011, totally different company, totally different equipment, all the Valuejet history is dead sans the fact they're the ones who ordered the 717s(or MD-95s they were at the time). Now they're going to become Southwest. Would anyone think twice about flying for AirTran/Southwest because of how the airline "started"? No way!
A Gojet CA commutes from one of our outstations via SFO to ORD and I talk to him a lot. He never gets denied jumpseats(though he admitedly only flies on Skywest and UA), loves his job, never complains and encourages me to keep building time instead of telling me how much the career sucks(which is very rare I'm starting to notice) and has never missed work with his commute. Last I heard he was going to a huge Asian carrier with amazing pay and an SFO domocile. Looks like it worked out for him. YMMV.
All the negative people are saying is probably true too, but it's not a death sentence. If an airline really doesn't want to hire you because you flew a CRJ-700 that had a font-size 12 "Gojet" sticker under the windows instead of "Skywest" or "Mesa", is that really a place to work at? Its too bad we chase these people off, this guy has a lot of ties with Bay Area flight departments and FBOs but won't post on any online forums after being chased off of one just because of where he flew despite the fact he has a lot to say and a very interesting history.
