Wow it has been 150 flights since I landed inside an aircraft!

There was another jumper on the flight into Houston but I think I would have lost my slot on the plane.

life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

I'm going to dress for the trip, not for the flight attendants.

I generally get the attention of the flight attendents...Happy FA, Happy Flight

I always carry my rig in a gearbag and tell the TSA guys just before I put it on the belt. I am polite and I have no problems.

Coming back from Rantoul last year, there was two women inspectors.

"Is it really as wild at the convention as people say?" "Nah, people are the same everywhere. We just skydive."

today. people lost their senseof humor

I fly too much so I generally get upgraded to the front of the bus in the big seats. The flight I was on from St Louis to Dallas was full of business people in dockers and polos to suits. Here I am with my WFFC hat on, TShirt with a couple dirt stains, Tevas and 'black' feet from roving around. One guy makes a comment about 'those people' taking advantage of the airlines mistake and getting the big kid seats. In the middle of this were two flight attendant who basically said 'ummmm...sir...His status is higher than yours.'
the guy shut up.

I've been in a similar situation. I was flying international business class wearing tevas, cutoff cargo shorts, and a black muscle shirt, and the guy next to me actually said something like that to my face. I think the exact quote was "What, did you win a trip overseas? Nice outfit". I was like 19 at the time and enough of an asshole to take out my United Premier Exec 1K Card and use it as a fan to "cool off" while I yawned and pulled out a book

You're too nice...I would have leaned over to him and conspiritorily said, "Yeah, it really pisses off the ASSHOLES in First Class, doesn't it?"

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Standing in line to board with wife and Trent. Lady behind me said (after looking me over since Trent and Janice were nicely dressed) "This line is for First Class. Are you?" I turned and looked at her and her husband and replied "Yes, are you?" Boy was it quiet after that except for Trent laughing.

Just as I thought. That is the company that I work for.

yea....I've done that one before.


the thing that kills me every single time I fly: I check my wrist as if I were looking at my alti. Not only do I do it once when we take off,but I do it again a few seconds later to see if we're at 1000 feet yet to take off the belts. hahahaha....I never learn.

Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)

And then there was the time . . .

I was on my way to Phoenix to meet with a customer and was wearing a suit. The guy next to me in First was headed to Eloy and enjoyed explaining to me in detail the wonders of skydiving.

After the meeting I took a day and ran down to the DZ in Eloy for a few jumps. Turns out I was sitting next to him on a load and it took him a few minutes to recognize me. When he started to say, "Hey, weren't you the guy . . .?" I said, yeah. You made it sound so good I had to give it a try.

Sometimes life is just too good to you.
