Off-duty pilot on Southwest flight steps in to help after pilot becomes ill while flying

[Boris Badenov]

Just think, you'd probably be nearing upgrade if you'd gotten in. Bad luck!

Remember during the lost decade when NetJets was one of the most sought after jobs? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I have two buddies that left there this year. 1 left for a hat and the other an airline he luvs.

Who's got a quicker update, them or southwest?

Upgrade time at NJA coming way down right now. Just under two years last I heard.

NJA, but a 20+ year CA on the 7/7 might, and I say MIGHT make 250k. You work your butt off there. You can make significantly more as a 5 year FO anywhere else.

Technically not. They adopted an age 70 rule.

It's a 73, so probably not many. They were probably hiding instead so they didn't get stuck flying it.

Yep, I'd be like "nah, someone else got this right?"

More anti guppy nonsense. Cool cool.

It’s okay, bro. It’s just the plane you’re paid to fly. No one is attacking your mother. Calm down.

Honestly, I barely trust the 2 chuckleheads up front enough to go sit in the back quietly on a clear day. I would have been the first to raise my hand to go help get us down safe.

I should probably seek counseling for my trust issues.......

It’s okay, I’m the same. That’s why I’m such a fan of automation.

Every time I saw a corporate crew sitting for hours in an FBO cured me of ever wanting to do that.

Not to throw shade, but are there channels on the crew lounge TV other than Faux News?

the cooking channel or animal planet is usually what I select

The military channel. Fox News and the military channel, those are it!

I used to turn the FBO tv to adult swim. Then they moved the tv upstairs, and then they stopped paying the cable bill.

A few eps of Metalapocalypse or Squidbillies would do the trick…
