My "Jerry Maguire" post

You know the hard part is that the systems are similar enough to dissuade me from hitting the books too hard and dissimilar enough that I'm paranoid about not hitting the books hard enough.

I do. We have a full EFB (only paper is QRH and Normal Checklist - also available electronically in the EFB). But I carry a company-provided laptop/tote bag that has my laptop and associated wire/adapter, ANR headset, flashlight, Pilot Work Rules binder, my own binder with printouts for limitations/memory items/profiles/callouts, a Uniform booklet, FAR 117 booklet, Passport, pens, briefing card, Flying magazine, mini first-aid kit/medicines, and last but not least a baggie of company pilot wings for the kids when they stop up front.

Why do you have a uniform booklet? People actually have subscriptions to flying magazine/s?

Congrats, by the way!

Do you guys have a short course for Airbus to Airbus? I believe we have a short course for guys coming off the 320 to the 330. I'm not sure if it's the other way.

The uniform booklet is basically a catalog of all uniform items, both mandatory and optionals. Company picked FAs and pilots to basically model for the pictures in the book. I dunno why it's in there, probably because I picked it up from my v-file and tossed it in the bag where it has been since. And yes, at the moment I have a 3-yr subscription to Flying magazine. It's got some good columns, especially related to aftermath of accidents and one for people having learned from their mistakes during a flight/event.

you read the books before going to school? I like to give them back at the end of school still wrapped in the plastic.

All that crap will fit nicely in a backpack.

I know, I heard.

"One of the first Southies came to class…"

Sometimes I wanted to tell my 330 brethren, "It's an airplane, just like many others… You're not joining the Hall of Justice on SuperFriends"

Where does the hivemind stand on the issue of messenger bags? Because my headset, the laptop and the iPad will fit nicely in one of those. I mean, hypothetically, if I wind up one of those jet guys.

Yes. Hipster code.

I unfortunately let the chicks at the Eye Doctors talk me into hipster glasses.

@SeanD

I was listening to them like 5 years before anyone else. I saw them at the Centerville VFW Hall in 1991.

@Derg is working on a bucket list of food.

The 2QD (or whatever-the-hell weird-ass code Southernjets uses for an A319/A320) is sufficiently pervasive across North 'Murica that Dorg can bid lines that take him across the burrito spectrum, a tour of baked filoderg, definitively declare the Best Burger, or a "What goes well with CheezWiz on it?" tour.

We'll have to start calling him @DPAderg.

Trent Reznor was edgier when he played is piano recital in fourth grade. The whole NIN thing was over before it started.

When are the A321's coming?

I thought they were called "satchels." Indiana Jones carried one.
