-When on a regular line flight you can't get stairs, pax bus, external power or chocks to save your life, but when you fly the pope suddenly everything works more efficiently than Lufthansa on a good day
-When at least one acre of trees must be cut down to produce sufficient paper for all the NOTAMS, some expired of course
-When at least once, while boarding, you have heard a Milanese passenger respond to the purser's "buongiorno" with "buongiorno un ca##o!"
-When you suddenly notice the airport is deserted and realize that it's because Italy is playing: if you're caught on the ground you're stranded, if you're in the air the freq will go very quiet, except if the Azzurri score
-When ATC talks down to the Italian general aviation pilot like a smelly dogturd, while the foreign GA pilot with the impeccable English/American accent is treated extremely politely
-When BA asks "say again" at every clearance
-When the person saying "blocked" blocks the person saying "two stations"
-When not only the other posters on the thread know where the "Flebus" corner is, but they even correct your spelling!
