Have been very entertained while reading this thread!
Did you all know there is another thread in 'cabin crew' where everyone is trying to find the most beautiful stewardess?
Perhaps you should start one for the sexiest pilot??
I dated a pilot once who told people he was a Green keeper, turns out he was a Cheating
(me bitter? never!)

My 1st ever post here but also found this one very entertaining and couldn't resist adding to the crap!
I'm sure you all know the term gold digger? Ever consider that all the opposite sex think about when you say you are a pilot is $$$, I bet half of you won't even admit that you fly an aircraft with less horsepower than my pushbike!
I honestly think that some people get into flying cos' they think it helps to pick up chicks.....really I don't think they give a hoot!
And half the pilots that I have ever met look like right little geeks anyway! Ooh wow, look at me I'm a pilot, wanna go
Ha ha bloody ha!

Knew a navy helo driver who once cconfessed to a chick in a night club that he was in fact a navy helicopter pilot (and quite a modest one at that). She didn't believe him and after several attempts, he gave up and said admitted to being a Ba-mix engineer - the guys who design those kitchen whiz things. She then told him off and abused him for a while over the ****ty Ba-mixer she had just purchased which subsequently broke after a few uses. Not sure about the sexy tag, but at least you know that sometimes you just can't win as a pilot.

jumpnut you complete loser!
Skydivers (meatbombs/earth burgers) are the worst!
I spent many a day/night at 'drop zones', I mean 'drop out zones'.
Q. How do you tell a pilot at a party?
A. They will tell you they are a dolphin trainer or work in aluminium tubing or something of the likes.
Q. How do you tell a skydiver at a party?
A. Well, just in case you didn't notice that the car wallpapered in stickers saying "I skydived...(some hick place)" all over the back of their car, then they will tell you they skydive (and call it flying? so bird **** flies?), and then show you videos of themself skydiving until the heads on the video player are worn out and/ or you have shoved hot pokers in your eyes and rammed tampons into your ears and poured you remaining beer onto them.
Basically I feel that telling people you are a 'pilot' is the metaphorical equivalent of hanging your wedding tackle into a lions mouth and flicking it's love spuds with a wet tea towel...

Not to be completely contrary, but there are ways in which you can tell them the truth and still score. Practice your very best sheepish look so that you can employ it while saying... I fly small aeroplanes. Feigning a little bit of embarrassment straight after that will always help.
My strike rate was pretty good - a "sympathy shag" is still a shag, after all!

The story that I heard (which was some time ago) was that he initially told the girl that he was a forklift mechanic. After a while she started to doubt his story and thought that he was full of it.
He then decided to confess and told her that he was really a Navy helo pilot. That was the final straw and the girl left. The boy who cried wolf
We may be talking about two different guys here as well. Good old Nowra.

My husband is sexy!
Tamair had a few hotties!
Met a few Ag pilots who were not bad.
But god haven't I come across some pizza faced nerdy types and then there are the ones with the moustaches, yuk! The bad out weighs the good, sorry boys!
Maybe it's time a charter flying version of Top Gun hit the screens, staring Brad Pitt & Hugh Grant and they fly around in 310's saving the world...........maybe that would help the image!
Back to my bloody sexy hubby, OOooohhhhh!
Paint The Sky PINK!

I remember one girl being quite impressed when I told her I was a pilot - it didn't last long though as she asked what airline I worked for and I stupidly told her the truth : that I'm a helicopter pilot. I got a dissapointed look and mumbled apology that she suddenly had to be somewhere else very quickly 
It's bad enough when you're blessed with a face that looks like it's been set on fire and then put out with a spade, but to tell them you're a chopper pilot seems to really put the kiss of death on it
Anyone know where I can sign up for Dolphin Training courses?

Hey, try saying "I'm a pilot" then they get very excited, then when they ask what airline and you say, "No, I'm an Ag pilot" then watch how fast they run.................!!!!

It use to work for me in London saying that I'm a hello pilot. The biggest problem use to be that it attracted young and old
But thats all behind me now that I'm getting old and grey

All this reminds me of the guy at the airport the other day, all dressed up with 4 gold bars etc. A young girl asked him "are you a pilot, what do you fly" he replied, "see that big plane with 4 engines, thats called a C130, well i fly a C150"
Actually when asked what I do, I use the line "Im a gynocologist, no experience but ill have a look at it for ya"

Hmmm, I just tell them I'm a pilot (if asked). It looks a lot better than telling them something else, then later in the night they find out what you really do. Then you just look like some jerk who thinks his job's sooo F-ing cool that you can't say it out loud.
Sure, some think it's just a line, so what?
P.S. I used to think my job was sooo F-ing cool that I really couldn't say it out loud. I was so proud of what I'd achieved against the odds and how well everything had gone, that I'd break into a huge grin if I ever said "I'm a pilot". Not because I thought I was cool or anything, just because I'd always wanted to do it, from the moment of conception, and I'd managed it, and it hadn't quite sunk in yet.
