Pilot Inspires 5yo by Waving

"s'up?"

That's "'Sup, G?"

 

[Roger Roger]

That's "'Sup, G?"

I've always envisioned that different carriers have their own gang signs they flash at each other in terminals of hotly contested hub airports.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

That wasn't a gang sign I saw in SeaTac the other day...

That would be amazing.

Where do I put "feedin' the po' and helpin' out with dey billz" in on AirlineApps?

 

[Autothrust Blue]

That would be amazing.

Unofficial hand signals are really handy. Unless, of course, they're misunderstood. Then you just look like an idiot, pantomiming out there on the ramp, then going up the jetway stairs anyway...

Under the heading: "What it is and what it be"

 

[derg]

Always wave.

And in the terminal, acknowledge your fellow pilots with the masculine head-nod.

See, when I don't head nod because I'm busy or I'm tired of acting like I have Tourettes in the ATL tunnels, I'd like to swiftly search the aviation internet to see who called me a anti-social sub commander.

I SAW DERG TYLOR IN ATLANTA AND HE DIDN'T NOD.

(my CAPS LOCK key is getting a workout this morning)

He's in the majors "son" @Derg

I fully expect a bro hug if I see you walking through the terminal.

 

[pullup]

I want someone to greet me by doing the worm.

 

[derg]

Big Worm?

FWIW, different fighter squadrons in the USAF have different hand signs they pass to their crew chiefs when taxiing out. For example, the Juvats in Korea do the "fighting snakes" thing with two fists, while the Pantons do the "hang loose" signal.

Interesting! Army Apache crews have one too:

When I was at ExpressJet I wished we did this:

 

[Beep]

So, it's agreed then. Jazz hands!

 

[RetiredATLATC]

So, it's agreed then. Jazz hands!

How are you guys going to do jazz hands while carrying all those cakes?

 

[ASpilot2be]

I wave. Kill them with kindness is how I roll. But we really dont have tons of competition.
