So what is this you ask? It's either a VERY well endowed duck, or a cute good luck charm.

The captain set this thing down when he got in the plane. I thought it was cute until the FA pointed out what it looked like from the doorway.

I think I know who you were flying with.

<Shivers> I bet every pax loading did a double take...

It really wasn't that fun flying with him. I was happy to only have to do a DAY-CLT leg.

 

[NW004]

what type of plane is that? Sorry for the ignorance! LOL Cool flying buddy.

 

[BobDDuck]

It's a CRJ 200.

The duck is NOT standard equipment by the way.

You know pilots are getting younger and younger when their parents send them to work with their 'woobie'.

Acutally Doug you are just getting older and now Kristie sends your woobie with you instead of your mom. Its ok to admit she does......

All she sends me to work with is her love, some random tufts of cat hair and a bar of Belgian soap so I don't come home with laundry reeking of Type-IV de-ice fluid, Jet-A and cigarette smoke.

Over the PA I described the deicing fluid as smelling like a bad ham sandwich yesterday. Ugh.

 

[derg]

Get used to it!

Smells like a crazy uncle that walks in with a package of hormel sliced ham and says "I'm gonna make me some home made proscuitto! cain't be all that hard, can it?"

Doug the captain who had this thing is a furloughed Airways guy. Former 373 captain I think. Not that young.

Speaking of ducks, did yours ever make it back?

That was my nickname in high school! Long story...

What's wrong with wearing Jet-A as cologne...

Bob, you can tell from that picture who you work for ... the hotel room keys wedged in the pedestal are a dead giveaway! A good friend of mine is working for y'all now.

We have a check airman who brings a purple dinosaur with him on every trip. He just sits in the window though. (This same guy keeps a rubber snake in his flight case for the sole purpose of trying to scare the TSA if they ever decide to search it!)

 

[BobDDuck]

Are we the only ones that do that? I never noticed. I have no idea where that started, but every plane has them. They get replaced as needed. Interesting.
