It is scary

Seggy · April 3rd, 2008, 10:12

When you have someone come up to you at the airport and ask if you are Mark S...

That is what killbilly did a few days ago. Ran into him on the road!

Nice meeting you Bill! Look forward to sharing many drinkies in Austin!

Kristie · April 3rd, 2008, 10:13

OOOOhhhh your a celebrity!

killbilly · April 3rd, 2008, 10:32

Heh.

Well, you see this great, hulking, knuckle-dragging 4-striper in the terminal and you think...'Hmm...looks like that silverback on that documentary last night, but I think it's actually one of those rare Segaloffs...you don't seem them often in the wild.'

I didn't have a tranquilizer gun or radio-transmitter handy to shoot em', tag em' and track em', so I figured I'd just say, "Excuse me, are you Captain Segaloff?"

It crazy... it's like the JC crowd is actually looking out for each other!

I had a similar experience with Loadmaster141: http://forums.jetcareers.com/general...yesterday.html (Met LoadMasterC141 yesterday!)

Caught him snooping around my flight case in the jetway when I was checking in with the AA flight crew for a jumpseat!

Welcome to Texas Seggs!

How come I never run into any JC'ers? I feel soooo left out!

killbilly · April 3rd, 2008, 23:01

Come to Texas...

muahahahahhahahaha

SeanD · April 4th, 2008, 03:26

Ive yet to run into any at an airport. However, I could have sworn I saw CF in ONT at the Carls Jr.

ONT you say...highly possible!

ASpilot2be · April 4th, 2008, 04:53

I have never run into anybody from the site in an airport. That is probably because very few members transit the same airports I frequent. Except for Velo, Cheechako, and some QX pilots like Rayflyoz.

I do however seem to run into someone I know every time I am in SEA though.

LoadMasterC141 · April 4th, 2008, 08:46

Wow Segs you must be special! Bill drives by my house like three times a month and never even stops by!

Running into Bob was an amazing coincidence. Had our line in the jetway been moving, or if I was not staring at the ground aimlessly, I never would have caught sight of his nametag on his pubs box.

I have also met a few other JC'ers outside of a normal M&G. Keebler from Skymates came to take away the 172 at my local flight school once.

Qgar · April 4th, 2008, 09:35

I have to believe there are more than a few JC'ers who pass through EWR on any given day. I sometimes find myself looking at ID badges for names that may ring a bell. Someday when I least expect it---I may just run into someone by sheer luck!

I'm usually not in any other airport terminals long enough to run into any JC'ers. Our turns are so tight it's very rare that we even set foot off the aircraft. You know the saying, "turn and burn!!!"

chris · April 4th, 2008, 09:56

I get that a lot in airports too. People always come up to me and say "hey, aren't you Bill Cosby?" I tell them "unfortunately no, I'm just your regular average white guy."

Well what you need to do is come to the Network JC Vegas shindig this year and get the secret decoder wristband. That way people see you.
Also, it starts to glow when another wristband is close

Qgar · April 4th, 2008, 10:14

LOL! I'm hoping to be at Network JC in October---trust me on that one!

Well...you ain't exactly been around lately, 'ave you, sir? Want me to take Sandra out for a beer instead?

LoadMasterC141 · April 4th, 2008, 10:47

Actually she is probably pretty lonely lately

No one knows what you look like! Well, few at least.

Qgar · April 4th, 2008, 11:03

Good point---but I like being a "woman of mystery!"

Doug Taylor · April 4th, 2008, 11:06

And just what would happen to poor Dougie if he ran up to a flight attendant in line at Starbucks and asked "Are you a wild cougar?"

Saaaalap! *POW*

Qgar · April 4th, 2008, 11:13

True dat....Rest assured you'd never find me in a Starbucks line (I'm a Dunkin' donuts chick)! But remember, Doug, you DO know my first name and who I work for----so how hard would it be?
