Sheesh!
I look back at my posts and have to grimace at what a well-groomed, slick flying, Hotel Sierra FO I've painted myself out to be. What a compete load of crap! I have, OFTEN, smashed the jet on the runway as though I were going for the third wire, walked through the terminal with a terminally wrinked and/or stained shirt, and grievously and unforgiveably forgotten to dump the FO side trashcan of all my junk.

BUT! I don't make it a habit, like some. I try to keep myself squared away, do my best to fly smooth and efficient, and try to remember to init the FMS for the next crew. I guess it's a balance to be struck, like most other things in life. You don't want to be Gomer Pyle, but you don't want to act like you salute with three fingers and help little old ladies across the street on Saturdays either.
