I thought it gave them special powers or something.

At being irritating maybe.

Btw, what is the Garrett salute? I read there is a way to squirt line guys with the cawi. Explain.

Covering your ears. Extra points if you use your middle fingers in an exaggerated way.

Lol I worked the line for a few years. Earphones ftw!

The funniest thing I've seen was when I taxied by a guy that was talking on his phone. He hung up and just glared at me. I gave him this face

My advice, don't let anyone put Jet-A in the AWI tank...

Good plan, and if it happens the first time by all means... do not repeat..........

4000 hrs in the Metro III at ChickenTaco (Chautauqua). Loved every minute in that bird! Flies like a big airplane, systems like a big airplane and will humble you in the landings with those itty-biddy tires made of rocks. I learned to land in a slight bank (ala..Bob Hoover) on one main at a time for grease'ers....I still use that technique today on the Bus and Boeings.

Have fun!

I'm LOVING visuals in this thing! Hand flying in cruise is slightly irritating when heavy though.

LOLOLOLOL at "chickentaco"!!

Always fun watching our young female marshallers/ticket agents frantically trying to hold their skirts down while we shut the engines down and pulling them into beta to set the prop locks! Ahhhh....good times!

BQN is where it's at! Though, that Metro run in SJU is the shortest duty day in the entire company, enjoy it!

I haven't even asked what run I'm getting. Been consumed with studying, and looking at pictures of rainforest during my study breaks. I plan to see that ENTIRE island while I'm there.

My duty day now is 1:30 - 7 . Hard to imagine a better setup than that.

There's only one Metro run there. St. Maarten, Antigua, St. Kitts and back. You'll tdy over to Aguadilla occasionally though

In the winter months. It's 7 hours, 11 to 6. 10 to 6 in the summer
