Someday I wish I could be this awesome

[A300Capt]

Damn, I retired too early! Between having my own playing card and doing shirtless “aviation” YouTube Vlogs about how awesome I am….well, I could’ve been my own real life hero!

That reminds me…I need to go update my “I love me” wall.

This engorged me

It should be "Airbus A320, not "Airbus 320." All of this -- the card, the expectation of being celebrated, the typo -- affirms my notions about you brown shoes.

edit: Unless this was handed-out by someone else, and the deck also has cards for cabin crew, line techs, dispatchers &c, and all the other people that it takes to make a flight happen.

I hope to Christ that someone made that card about their arch enemy and not themselves.

I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy.

There are few people in this business that I have a VERY low opinion off, but I still wouldn't make such a low blow. Not even Dan Gryder.

MD-90 type, so he's a Reno guy. He's not even a reAAl nAAtive!

 

[///AMG]

Oh no. A navy guy. I bet he flew P-8’s on active duty to boot

 

[Skåning]

Oh no. A navy guy. I bet he flew P-8’s on active duty to boot

The answer is always “Navy guy”

Sheesh. What is up with AA pilots?

No, you aren’t about to do a gate return in MSN for an 8 minute taxi.

Glad the controller called him on his BS.

What’s the ethnicity? African something. I can’t read it.

I bet he tells FOs that he’s mentoring them.

Also, there is NO SUCH THING as an MD-90 rating or an MD-80 rating. They're ALL just a DC-9 type rating.

Cringe.

Three questions to live by:

Does it need to be said?
Does it need to be said right now?
Does it need to be said by me?

What are these supposed to be? Business style cards? trading cards of some weird sort? It’s like some kind of mini-resume on a card. For why?

 

[mikecweb]

My guess is, he feels he's accomplished alot. He gets very little recognition "just" being a number at AA so he found a way to break himself away from the average line guy. Some people, myself including, love and thrive being a number, for some it's gut wrenching.

Lies. There’s just no one to hand your cards to….

I love being a number. I want to retire and have people be like “who was that?”
