The real stinky Swedish food is Surströmming - salted fermented herring in can



That stuff looks gross, but the most gnarly Scandinavian food has got to be hákarl, the Icelandic fermented shark. They bury a shark carcass for a few months to let it rot, then dry it in a shack for a while.

If an FO busted that out on CC he wouldn’t think wearing a day old shirt was the peak of nastiness anymore.
 
Oh please. 15 yrs flying in 121 and I have yet to see someone pull fish out (except tuna sandwiches or maybe a salmon from an airport restaurant).

Stop making yourselves sound like fish aficionados. You know y’all are just trying to one up each other naming the most disgusting smelling fish out there.

Literally no one is trying to hide that fact, we’re just relishing the idea of some FO you’ve internet stalked and deemed disgusting for no reason busting out some rotten fish and making you wish you had a mask.

Who did I internet stalk and deemed disgusting “for no reason.”

I believe I’ve stated a reason quite clearly. It’s just something you don’t like. One uniform shirt per day and no armpit stains. Not too hard a concept.
 
I’d definitely get 4 shirts; doesn’t hurt to be able to rotate them. And you’ll definitely want to bring an extra for a while until you figure out what parts of the airplane will drip stuff on you.

I think the best thing you could do your first time flying with @Cherokee_Cruiser would be to show up wearing a KN95, talk incessantly about how proud of yourself you are that you wore it the whole way through IOE, and most importantly—bring an extra and offer it to him.
You also need to give him your preferred pronouns when you introduce yourself, and ask him if he’d like your spare “blm” pin. LOL!
 
CC isn't stalking me, but I do promise him that I will show up to our future trip with 1 shirt and quad masks. The J/S will also be filled with a Bernie mittens/lawnchair life-size doll. Watching everything. Criticizing every extension of the speed brakes, every wasted pound of fuel.

You want an earful about how the election was stolen by Biden and how the Trump appointed SCOTUS judges are gonna overturn Roe v Wade?



Be warned…


…I’ve been nominated Equal Opportunity Player Hater of the Year.

Fortunate I don’t sweat much so I just pack a spare and change my undershirt. They sell the ones that have the armpit things to absorb the funk so makes life easy. If anything it’s the collar that changes color more than anything else but the cut above collars help.

Looks like a company can ban BLM pins legally at work.

 
I take it you’ll be starting the drive at your company to have them banned?

Good heavens no. I only work at a virtual, fictional airline. (Officially ;)) And I make no stand or views on politics of any kind when at work for my virtual airline. My flight kit has no stickers on it, a completely blank (black) slate. I'm as neutral as one could be at work. Because, and call me old fashioned, I believe my politics has absolutely no place while I'm at work.

LOL! Gotcha. Flight sim in mom’s basement. Got a stuffed animal in the folding (co-pilot’s) seat that catches your wrath!
 
Still wear one clean shirt per night in the basement! :)
I recently flew with a captain that told me a story that is pertinent to the discussion here.

FO spilled coffee on his uniform shirt. No big deal, it happens. Next day, they showed up at the van and the FO was still wearing the coffee stained shirt. Captain asked why he didn't change his shirt and FO said he only had one shirt. Captain told FO he may want to start bringing an extra shirt. FO responded, "No, I only have this one shirt."

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if CC has a stroke reading this. He did so of his own volition.

That’s a power move.
 
Let me pack your bag. I promise to throw half the chit out you won’t need. You’ll want, but you don’t need. Guaranteed.

If I can pack up to a 4 day trip 22” rollaboard with 3 uniform shirts (one for each day), then anyone can. One sock/boxer/undershirt per day, excercise clothes, one set of regular layover clothes, night clothes to sleep in, and running shoes. Internal zip pockets have toiletries, vitamins, back up medication (Tylenol, cough drop, etc), deodorant, glasses in hard case. Outer zip pocket has phone charger, car keys, ear phones, and gum.

When FOs pull my bag out from under the jumpseat, I often get compliments of how light my bag is.

Same stuff yet it is heavy as hell. I do use some full size liquids but that is due to the fact that the smaller sizes cost a crap ton more than the bigger bottles. Contact solution being an example.

Sleep clothes! Do they have footies and a butt flap? ;)
