Your 'jumpseater' never realised why you were so happy happy to give him a free ride..
You call your hotel shuttle bus on final.
Approach controller calls you a 'fast moving metroliner'
When others use autoland,you do your own,by yourself really...
When you just fuelled,loaded your own Sa227 and company advises you to take off within 10 as the airport manager is about to close the airport due to snow.
When you are told to fly to a nasty cold and windy place and you are saved by the destination handling saying they wont offload you because of wind...
When sleeping in an fbo conference on the floor becomes the norm.(invested in a air bed at the end).
When you have stopped logging night time when you started flying for an airline..

Quote"If real airlines wait for you to land first to test the braking action."
Oh yeah.
Many, many years flying into BUF and SYR in the winter time and generally the FIRST plane in during the week.
Now that I think about it. No matter how many companies or what airplanes we had, I always had a trip into BUF and SYR during the winter time!
"Retirement" is good.

Didn't see it mentioned but when a new aircraft shows up in the fleet and it was the best thing you've seen on your fleet since forever, and then you find out it was their "junker" of the fleet from the company you got it from!

...your aftershave is a Sani-Wipe...and you call the scent "Nighthawk".
...you fly a civilian Herc and you hope the inbound plane has 10" of pressurization and an operating hotcup. The other deferred items don't matter.
...you know how to tweak the autopilot pots on that Herc with a Swiss Army knife.
...you warm your inflight meal on the hotcup, because there is no oven or it is "deferred".
...you can take a crap in moderate turbulence while hanging on to the Herc's 9G net without turning your ass blue...another use for Nighthawk should the turbulence be slightly more than moderate.
...you know what a Monarch door is on a cargo DC-8.
...you know what a BMEP stain is.
