Hilarious Lego Airline satire video

For some reason I always lose it at "A-Fund." Haha.

Same. Is there a "payday" in there too??
Zombies are comin across the border and the government took my guns away and stole my money!! Top. Notch.

Apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to punch a baby when someone said "livin' the dream!"

Serious question...are you annoyed when people say that seriously (implying that whatever crapstorm is going on is worth it because getting paid for flying is "living the dream"), or are you annoyed when people say it sarcastically (because it is an overused and old way to say that you're pissed about whatever the crapstorm-of-the-day is)?
 
@Hacker15e ,

"Livin' the dream" is an obnoxious cliché that should have been retired 10 years ago.

It's the equivalent of saying "talk to the hand because the face ain't listening" or asking "what's the 411?"

It's the epaulette sweater of idioms, if you will.

The reason I asked is because the saying is not some previously-hip-but-now-passé-fad saying as far as the USAF flying community is concerned.

For the 20+ years that I have been in the service, it is always said exasperated in the middle of an asinine situation and is dripping with sarcasm to express the extreme dissatisfaction with the situation. If you guys think they're a cynical people in the airlines, there are some pretty salty ones that would give them a run for their money flying in the military.
 
I have less than nothing in common with 90% of the people I fly with other than that we share the same profession. I don’t collect guns, I don’t hunt, I don’t know anything about ammunition. I’m not a doomsday prepper. I don’t hate Obama. I know nothing about their church. I don’t care about their ranch in Montana where they raise Alpaca or the turbine Bonanza they bought to get there. I don’t have a 6000 square foot million dollar home on an air park. I don’t have a sailboat that I keep in the Bahamas. I don’t buy gold or trade in foreign currency. I drive the same old beat up airport car I’ve been driving for years. I wasn’t in the military. I’ve never cheated on my wife. I don’t date or otherwise care to comment on the appearance of the flight attendants, And I don’t like football.

Which leaves us with. “Sooo… Do you live near the airport? Do you like… stuff? (sigh) So what do you think of the contract?”
 
Blah blah blah blah CONTRACT blah blah

Blah blah blah MERGER blah blah blah

Blah blah blah FEED THE WHALES blah blah blah

That was my experience on the 330 for the most part.

Story time!

Any "Raw Milkers" over there? A guy I knew threatened to choke him if he said another word during happy hour. That was hilarious.

This is the best post in the history of posts.

I was warned about one Captain who was supposedly very hard to get along with. We had very little in common but I found ways to steer him from going off the deep end and concentrated on what made him happy. By the end of the day it was like we were best pals. I know very little about a lot but it seems to keep a conversation going well for a 10 hour day when you can relate a bit to the other person.

We don't have too much of this on the 767 at my shop. But when I bid over to the 747-400 next year? Hooooo boy. I've even been told "You won't fit in there."

But, I like money.

So you fly in a sterile cockpit for the most part?

Missing blue man group

I ask only because I can relate.

I have a personal rule that even if they are of the same political persuasion as me and I agree with what they were saying, my answer is absolute silence. I pretty much want to make a bingo card of statements that assume I'm totally on board with their extreme (either side) political opinion.
