"I wanna be a RJ Driver" Song

[CRJDriver]

Got this off another website thought it was kinda funny.

**To the tune of Rockstar by Nickelback**
(If you dont know the Nickelback song this wont be nearly as funny.)
----------------------------------------

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 has got to be one of the funniest things ive heard in a while.


How 'bout Seggy and Bumblebee record it

[Berkut]

Heh, that's hilarious.

[kellwolf]

OMFG, I love it. Ironically, I was just playing "Rockstar" on the guitar today.....

[charlie1017]

I could have "Mad Doggy Dogg" play guitar and sing it for ya!

Seriously!

[Qgar]

OK, who's volunteereing to sing that at Karaoke night at NJC next year?!

[Murdoughnut]

Dude, someone should actually record this - then everyone could film themselves singing along. You'd have one hell of a funny video if you put them altogether.

Sorta like this guy ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uSlqI1AVUk

[Ian J]

It's funny cuz it's true.

(I kid, I kid - sorta. )

[OldTownPilot]

I wanna be an RJ driver

[Doug Taylor]

I'd hate to give up my nap, two meals and a minimum 24 hour layover in a European city!

[OldTownPilot]

Yeah, Dad loves the international stuff. Plus its the only thing that is commutable in EWR.

Now that he is a CA and junior, he gets to visit all those cities that he hasn't been to before. Open time was nice to him this month though. Traded a Belfast Northern Ireland trip for an Athens. Both the FOs on the ATH trip are WAY senior to him.

The difference in pay between those trips is about what a regional FO makes in a MONTH

If I do the flying thing, I definitely want to do the international flying.

[Doug Taylor]

I'm still debating holding for ER captain, which isn't all that far off, or bidding back domestic captain after my lock is up. Not quite sure what to do yet

[OldTownPilot]

He waited until he could be a lineholder 756 CA. FWIW.

Doesn't matter what you do, you'll find it new and interesting in either situation. I know you were burned out on the whole domestic thing, but you'll probably find the additional challenges of being in the left seat on par with what you've found with international flying.

A masterpiece...

When WAS the last time you logged PIC time, anyways?

That was effing AWESOME!

Now do one called 'Bus Drivers In the Sky'
to Johnny Cash's Ghostriders In The Sky.

"The VCM is out again,
their shirts are soaked with sweat...
They're ridin' hard to get on time..
but this crew ain't made it yet..."

January 10, 1998. DAY to MKE. Landed to the north, walked past crew scheduling's door, Brad the scheduler tried to junior assign me a trip for the 11th, I told him that I wasn't going.

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)

[Doug Taylor]

No, wait, I did do a little bit of GA flying in 1999. Maybe 5 hours or so.

Can't run the Jetcareers Academy flight school until you get GA current!
