Google "Korean Restaurant" near the layover hotel, "slam click" but actually go out for extra-hoppy beer and kimchee and rock. your. world. the next day in the cockpit.

Don't jack with the creative! ;)

I may be passive aggressive from time to time, but this guy has it mastered.

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.

Nah... It's not that bad. Most guys are like "work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, where do you live? Work, work, work, work, work, work, I live here and the taxes suck and work, work work work. I think you'll be happy with your move to this airplane.
 
On the Airbus, there were several guys I flew with that were hard to talk to. Most of them were cool and we got along great. I also found that a lot of guys on that airplane didn't do much on overnights. Since I've been on the 757, it's been great! Most of the time the topic of conversation begins, "So we had this guy at Piedmont named Jim Brown..." and that's typically enough to get you through a crossing.

Man some of you guys must be a real joy to fly with. I get the not wanting to get into religion or politics, but c'mon don't you think that rebuffing attempts to talk about the other guys hobbies (even if they are big time #captainproblems) makes you equally guilty in the "work work work work the contract work" thing?

No, but it did make me guilty of the "I'm going to read my magazine because you're a deranged nut who has 50,000 rounds of ammo in his basement" thing.
 
I've always found that cars are a good subject to talk about up front, especially if the conversation is going somewhere that you're not happy about.

Most pilots are at least a little bit into cars. Even if they drive a Prius, they'll be more than happy to tell you all about it.

One guy just wasn't going to be happy until he got his chance to complain about post-merger procedures and express his disdain of his present employer. I just put everything away I was working on, let him "hold court" and once he finished, my only response was "I can't do anything about any of that, boss-man says fly the jet and we'll shower you with money, so I do that. Whats good to eat in Baltimore?"

"Baltimore? That s****ole! Let me tell you about the time.............."
 
I dunno. I would think that if you spend 9 hrs locked crossing the ocean, get 24 hrs on the ground, and then another 10 hrs locked back across the ocean with the same guys, I'm not sure I'd be in any hurry to hang out with those guys during that 24 hr break.



Unless you're buying. Then I'll be right down! :D

I like looking at nicely restored classics, but as for cars as a whole, I view them as a tool to get around. I can work on em, and fix em, but I'm not gonna spend money to put aftermarket crap on em. Or, for that matter, spend $40K-$70K for one when I can get one for cheaper that does the exact same thing. Goes from point A to point B.

Nah, it's not like you're locked in the cockpit for 10 hours with the same person droning over the deep dark ocean.

That's what the domestic guys say to rationalize why they ain't neva gonna do dat.

After doing a 7:10 block from JFK to SFO, I did reflect on the fact that had I headed across the ocean, it would have been the same as landing in Dublin, Shannon, or maybe even Manchester.

Well, there's three distinct phases of flight. The coast-out, the oceanic sector and the coast-in, all with various challenges. I'll take a 7 hour ocean crossing over 7 hours of staring the setting sun in the face and changing frequencies every 8 minutes any day.

All I can say at the moment is the boss man making us go in a swimming pool with rafts. Who knows what it will bring? ;)

I understand the desire 100%. A nice car is...eh, nice. Occasionally we'll stumble in to a newish Beemer or something as a crewcar and I begin to think "oh, right, ok, I get it". Then I learn what it's "worth" and laugh in a barking fashion. Besides, the ultimate point of a "nice car", near as I can tell, is either to impress people (I'll need more help than a car) or go really, really fast. That's why I have motorcycles. Sorted.

Ever.

Even people I sense who I'm congruent with, nope.

It's never ever ever. Eva eva eva… eva eva evaevaevaeva worth it.

Nope. Me either. I stare out the window and click like or unlike on my handy "ident-a-cloud" app.

Politics, Money, Religion. These are the third rails* of any conversation.

* People often ask how many volts are in the rail. It's not really the volts that gets you, but the amps. How many amps, you ask? Well, enough to push a train, so obviously quite a bit.
