Age 65 -- a Top 10 list

Doug Walsh, a retired American Airlines pilot living blissfully in Nevada, shares with us this Top 10 list of ways to tell if your pilot is over age 60:


10. Orders a "Geritol frappachino" at Starbucks.

9. Layover clothes consist of black shoes, white knee socks, bermuda shorts, and yellow golf shirt.

8. Yells, "I've landed and I can't get up," then laughs uncontrollably.

7. Uses his AARP card as a second form of I.D. at the jumpseat desk.

6. Medic alert bracelet keeps setting off the metal detector.

5. Uses the aircraft power outlet to charge up his wheel chair batteries.

4. Carries a Commodore 64 computer on the road.

3. Thinks the United flight attendants in Narita are "hot".

2. Bids the Dehli layovers, but doesn't remember why...

And the number one way to tell if you're flying with someone over 60:

1. Flies across the country with the lights on all of the time to help him read the maps.

(What about if he leaves his blinkers on all the way from O'Hare to LaGuardia?)

EXCELLENT!!!!

"7. Uses his AARP card as a second form of I.D. at the jumpseat desk."

C'est triste, mais on recoit une carte AARP a partir de l'age de 50 ans aux USA!!
AARP ne veut pas dire "Aged Aviation Retired Personnel"
mais dans le temps "American Association of Retired Persons"
C'est plus que les retraites, mais les plus de 50 ans.
Meme Caroline Kennedy fait partie de ce club depuis 2007!
...moi j'ai refuse cette carte pendant qqs annees...trop fiere..pas comme ce pilote!
