Youngsters don't watch Reading Rainbow anymore? That's a national tragedy!

At the last job we usually just talked smack about the one crew everyone hated.
The "budget traveler" thought it was Obama and they were afraid he was going to indoctrinate their children.

It's America...they too busy watching South Park reruns as weekend "Cartoons."

If you got HF, you can troll through the Ham bands and listen to how to eliminate interference to you rig from your dryer.
I was too old for Reading Rainbow...so, I'll raise your Lavar Burton with Morgan Freeman:
And, 40 years later, I can STILL recite the preamble to the US Constitution from memory....as long as I sing it as a tune....thanks to School House Rock:
That, folks, is some VERY effecting teaching....

I guess I can live with that. South Park at least will teach them how crazy organized religion is. Nothing better than their episodes on Scientology or Mormonism.

...And another slam clicker is born!

Flying, like most jobs, is mostly a people business. You have customers, you have coworkers, if you don't like talking with them, it is not going to be a fun job.
My non-flying job, which is entirely focused on customers, involves much less small talk than every type of flying work I have ever done. And having friends in the flying biz is just as important as any other job, probably more so, as you get fewer opportunities to meet new people and make a good impression. The whole point of this website is to offer more of those opportunities.
Most pilots have some unique things to talk about anyway, once they are done telling you how awesome they are and how things were better at OtherJets Air...

Nothing wrong with a slam-clicker. The last thing I wanted to do was spend another two hours with someone I just spent eight hours with crammed in a small aluminum tube, unless we were buddies or had a hell of a lot in common. The average trip with a guy I just met, though? Usually not interested in going out. It's a job, not a social club.

I loved harassing guys on deployment, when all they'd do is eat McDonalds. If you're in Greece, or Italy, or anyplace, stop going to American only places. It's sad.
Walking out of the hotel toward the Plaka in Athens, the captain said, "Hey! There's a TGI Fridays, let's go see if they have the game on!"
I started laughing and muttered something about him being a ruh'yard but apparently he was serious.
Later skater.

Even in the States it can be sad. I spent a week in New York for a deposition a couple of years ago, and I stayed just off of Time Square. Couldn't believe my eyes at the number of people crammed into Sbarro. Seriously, people? Hundreds of some of the best local pizza places in the country, and you're eating at Sbarro?
