V1, Rotate- and the jet won't. You're the FO..

So you're saying, pull harder?

Speaking of getting yanked around, the bids are out. I was REALLY excited about the line I got.

Until I realized... I might be hypothetically flying with a certain hypothetical captain. YAY!!!

I should probably look, but I'm sort of scared.

Yeah, I am. This guy is weird.... Paranoia drives his MO. It's really hard to fly with him.

Good: I got something I put in for, and it wasn't S1/S2/S3.

Bad: My selection number went up by 20.

I don't follow- you're bidding a better line, and this is bad? Oh, you silly noob.

I guess they're getting the displacements from DFW ATR slowly worked into my category, and my relative position went down.

That said, I'm still happy I got the days I wanted off, off.

Oh, wait, you talk backwards. By selection number, you mean if got closer to the "total in category" number. Stop confusing me, noob!

It says "SEL ***" on my schedule.

You've been promoted to management. Report to the CPO to turn in your flight manuals and your soul. Get a haircut, too.

Wait, you want me to cut my hair shorter than it is right now? (I grant I probably have longer hair than most of my colleagues, but (1) it's so far up there and (2) usually covered by, well, my cover, so it shouldn't be a problem...)

For a guy who was never in the military, you sure sound the part. And stop wearing the hat. Only old captains and green FOs wear the hat.

What base r u?

Good man, rockin' the hat. Keep it up! Don't let the slackers get to you.

As I explained privately to Firebird the other day, my wearing of the hat at a carrier where nobody wears the hat other than new FOs and old Captains is actually an act of rebellion.
