"I wanna be a RJ Driver" Song - Page 2

All along I've been hard charging for SWA. Hearing Doug talk about int'l and some of the other guys, I'm starting to change my tune....seriously. Even my wife keeps dropping hints that she'd rather me fly for Delta than SWA now....

How does a 7-day paid vacation to Hamburg or Berlin for new years sound?

There are a bunch of 6-day trips in there too over the holidays.

Me? If I'm going to fly I'm going to want to go to a place that can offer the variety of 4-leg domestic trips to 16 hour international legs. I think it would keep things fresh and new. Plus I love going to other countries to travel, and to get paid to do so would be awesome.

Which one pays better, and/or has better QOL? Start there!

----------------------------------------

I’m through with waiting in line to take off runway ten
Sitting next to a student that stinks like gin
This job hasn’t turned out quite the way I want it to be

I want a brand new jet that I can learn in the sim
And a crashpad I can play Tetris in
And a king size case that’ll carry all my charts for me

I’ll need a Sallie Mae loan that’s got no limit
And a nine leg day with no lunch break in it
Gonna raid the galley cart so I can just get some food in me

I want a dark crew bus with no suspension
Ride with a dozen other pilots who don’t have pensions
To some cheap hotel where the mattress smells like pee

I’m gonna trade this life for flying a plane
Might even wear sunglasses and frost my mane

Cuz we all just wanna be airline stars
Live in slum flop houses driving old junk cars
The girls run screaming but my callsign’s sweet
We’ll all stay skinny cuz we just can’t eat

And we’ll get kicked out of the hotel bar
Eating ramen bricks and a candy bar
Every flight attendant’s gonna think I’m square
Every Ipod wearer with the frost-tipped hair

Hey hey I wanna fly an RJ
Hey hey I wanna fly an RJ

I wanna bid each month and try to hold a line
Get stuck on reserve every single time
Commute 19 hours so I can live with my parents for free

I’m gonna dress up in the latest Sporty’s fashion
I’m running low on socks so I’d better ration
Gonna work on holidays and never have a weekend free

I’m gonna trade this life for flying a plane
Might even wear sunglasses and frost my mane

Cuz we all just wanna be airline stars
Live in slum flop houses driving old junk cars
The girls run screaming but my callsign’s sweet
We’ll all stay skinny cuz we just can’t eat

And we’ll get kicked out of the hotel bar
Eating ramen bricks and a candy bar
Every flight attendant’s gonna think I’m square
Every Ipod wearer with the frost-tipped hair

And we’ll hide out from the FAA
With the latest regulations and a 110A
They’ll take away your cert with that evil smile
Everybody’s got an ALPA rep on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna fly an RJ

Gonna shoot an ILS and pray for FD capture
Gonna get bent over by some dispatcher
Get stuck in an arrival sequence 12 planes long
Let the autopilot fly so I don’t get it wrong

Cuz we all just wanna be airline stars
Live in slum flop houses driving old junk cars
The girls run screaming but my callsign’s sweet
We’ll all stay skinny cuz we just can’t eat

And we’ll get kicked out of the hotel bar
Eating ramen bricks and a candy bar
Every flight attendant’s gonna think I’m square
Every Ipod wearer with the frost-tipped hair

And we’ll hide out from the FAA
With the latest regulations and a 110A
They’ll take away your cert with that evil smile
Everybody’s got an ALPA rep on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna fly an RJ
Hey hey I wanna fly an RJ

This is the funniest darn thing I've read ever.. thanks for the laugh!!!

Did anyone make a recording, yet or know someone who could make one?

He told me to report to the chief pilot's office for failure to cover a trip.

I told him I was leaving for Southernjets.

He asked if they were hiring crew schedulers.

(insert Chris Hansen "HA!" here)

Spiky hair Brad?? How do you remember this stuff??? Was he cool or creepy? I never could tell.

BTW, those lyrics were awesome.

BTW2, the rockstar video is way cool.

Yeah, like you have to worry about that from me. I might be the one calling YOU up with the "Hey....um, I've got this 737 type and 1000 TPIC time....know anyone in HR?"

Didn't say SWA was TOTALLY off the radar, just not at the same priority. Living in MCO and driving to work would still be very nice.

SWA or Netjets is the way for me. MCO based is a great QOL for me.

Rock Star is on my current favorite song rotation and this version is even better.

I can just see a crew on a long flight making up these lyrics and laughing their asses off to keep from crying.
