Hey, omajeta! Welcome to the Monkey House!
Naah, I just did an OMA turn from Newark. I'm an ExpressJet FO. Captain soon, if I don't screw it up!

OK, so day two of reactions. We have a Houston flight attendant, who have a reputation for being somewhat defensive, and a little uptight. New girl. Still on reserve.

So we're taxiing out of STL, and make a right turn to hold short. Suddenly, I hear a LOUD "PSSSSSTTTT!!!!" I look around, see the flight attendant hissing at me to get my attention. The slam latch had not been secured correctly (my fault!) and the door to the flight deck had swung utterly open.

As if that wansn't embarassing enough, as I look back to retrieve the door and latch it, I see rows one through three starting saucer-eyed at my head. I gave the flight attendant a menacing grin, nonchalantly swing the door closed, and latched it. If I hadn't been wearing sunglasses, I would have winked.
