Salut,

Je suis sur que certains d'entre nous (desole Chti si tu l'as deja lu) vont se reconnaitre:



You might be a fractional pilot if...

You totally understand why someone would rather land in the Hudson River
than go to TEB one more time

You've seen a passenger with a net worth north of $500 million take all
the bottled water off the aircraft to stock the beach house for the
weekend, rather than pay 15 bucks for a case at the store

Your favorite four-letter "F" word is "free"

You ask the hotel desk staff if they can heat up your crewfood in the
employee kitchen since there's no microwave in your room

You can eat meat that hasn't been refrigerated for hours, and suffer no
ill effects

You go to bed at home and hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your bedroom
door

You eat your meals at home in your lap and you insist that they be
served cold

The hotel desk staff asks where you flew in from today, and you can't
remember

Your spouse drops you off at the airport and you tip them $3 ($5 if they
get your bag)

Your kids knock on your bedroom door before 8am, you instinctively start
yelling at them to read the "do not disturb" sign...and then follow up
with a cell phone call to your wife in the other room to file a
complaint

Your spouse has to remind you "we have a fridge" as you search kitchen
drawers for bottled water

You pull up at a stop light next to a big rig and instinctively grab
your CB mic and transmit: "livin' the dream" over the radio

You routinely use your blackberry while at home to email Flightaware or
Jetplan for current local weather conditions

You put locks on all your doors at home with the same combination as the
stock lockers at work

You use security tape on your doors at home and on your car

You wear the same ugly polo shirt and same pair of jeans every night for
your entire week at home

You haven't bought soap, shampoo, or lotion in years for your own
bathroom at home

You start using your suitcase as your dresser at home

You see more than two S's in a row somewhere and start cursing and
taking off your clothes

You won't eat any meal that doesn't come in a plastic container with
potato salad

You dye your toilet water at home blue

Even at home, you call your bathroom the lav

Every time you get out of your car, you disconnect the battery

You can't remember what your home TV channel lineup is

Every night at home, you mistakenly try to order crewfood when you go to
bed

When you fall asleep in your own lazy boy at home, you always wake up
thinking you're at Signature and just got ASAP'd somewhere

You have an entire set of bowls, serving trays, and drinking glasses at
home, yet none of them match

Your entire wardrobe consists of free FBO shirts and hats

When you leave home for work, your kids ask when you are coming back to
visit

Salut,

Quand tu prends l'avion de ligne ici, il arrive que tu sois selectione par la compagnie aerienne pour "secondary screening", et c'est indique sur ton boarding pass avec "SSSS".

[Tomcatters]

SSSS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_ ... _Selection

Merci

And, why I like being a fractional pilot

Salut,

C'est le Million Air de Houston ca?

Amy, Nichole, Michelle, Diana, Lindsey and Misty, de gauche a droite!!

[piloute]

un peu trop vulgaire...

la c'est plus classe, meme si ca fait un peu "pauvre" d'etre chez netjet au lieu d'avoir un avion 100% perso

[chti71]

meme si ca fait un peu "pauvre" d'etre chez netjet au lieu d'avoir un avion 100% perso

Moi ca me fait sourire quand le "riche" qui a son avion 100% appelle NetJets (ou autre fractionnal) parce que son unique avion est en maintenance ou un "nogo" probleme arrive qques heures avant le depart pour un wekend a Aspen.

Le "pauvre" client Netjets que l'on a pas pu ammene la semaine derniere a cause d'un Thrist Reverser deficiant...c'est retrouve le cul dans un Falcon (au lieu d'un Citation XL), 2 heures de retard sur son programme...Mais pas bloque au sol.

And, why I like being a fractional pilot

C'est quand même bien meilleur sur AF:

[Heaulme]

C'était AF ça ou AOM?
Me semblait que c'était AOM.

D'autre part qu'est ce que fout ce copi en place droite mouhaha?:p

[excelaviation]

Salut,

D'autre part qu'est ce que fout ce copi en place droite mouhaha?:p

Ils sont pas en place droite d'habitude?

[SuperSaC]

Sur un équipage renforcé, quand le CDB dort, il y a forcément un copi à gauche

[Heaulme]

Ouais jvoulais dire place gauche bien vu...
Mais oui autant pour moi j'avais oublié ça en long courrier...
Sympa les copis qui font de la merde quand le CDB est pas là

[jetoil]

quand le CDB dort

... ou quand il est trop occupé à filmer......

Perso, chez nous, quand on est en "enlarged crew", on est 2 captain et un F/O.

jetoil

[Ptimat31]

La vidéo fait 40 megas, mais elle est sympa

[chti71]

"enlarged crew"

faut pas voir un docteur quand t'as ca ???

[jetoil]

seuleument quand ton bide t'empeche de faire le check des commandes de vol....ou que ça te limite le debatement de la profondeur pendant le flar....( c est arrivé a un de nos captains avec un F/O un peu corpulent)

[Roudou]

Lol la blague " Welcome on board, I'm xxx your captain, we'll maybe have some problems during take-off but don't worry... It's because I've just been too fat "
