You had a hot pot on your Herc? Luxury!
I thought the TRs were installed to heat meals!

You use a C02 extinguisher to cool down a tin of cola.

You use the crash axe to cut power to the TR because the meal caused a fire!;)

Good one! I had forgotten about the "reserve heating system".

You don't panic when you see more than one DMI sticker in the cockpit.

When someone asks you what the time is, you tap your watch glass several times before answering........

And worse, when faced with incongruous information on a CRT or LCD display, out of force of habit you tap on that as well... :}

SD and MD: good one :D

+ Screen colour choices are limited to Black or Green & Black.

+ You've logged over 5,000 hours on type and have never seen one with seats.

+ The raw-gut feeling that something is wrong turns out to be that you are not using a flash light for the preflight.

- You check with the reception if the phone is operational because the red light doesn't flash

- You call a 8-day pattern a " quickie"

- You mix up the stack of Notams with the Notocs. Beccause the latter is thicker.

- You think of a flight engineer who toasted some of the 2 days old sandwiches in the oven for you as a very talented chef

- You have a flight engineer

Having flown mixed flying between pax and freight in my old company and my current, here is the best of the old...

- Signing on and the other crew buddy does not know where freighter is parked
- Arriving at hotel..."what booking?"
- Having casino next door to nearly every night (day?) stop hotel and enjoying breakfast with seniors with beer.
- Commuters on jump seat who won't shut up whilst you are trying to sleep.
- Waking up to gear extension.
- Exiting aircraft through A&E bay door, as no one can be f#cked to bring stairs over.
- One fat basted who had to jump from L1 door because he couldn't fit! Hospital trip.
- Downwind landings into curfew restricted airports (Hope tower doesn't advise what it really is!!!)
- Diversions into places where nothing happens until 6am.

Current company....Much better.
