Flew with Bill at AA. Good guy; fine aviator.
His wife was/is a UA Capt. He related this story of jumpseating up to IAD from FL on his wife's Airbus. (The female FO didn't know they were married or even knew each other.)

Bill: (As he gets seated.) "Oh boy, two women. Lucky I'm here in case there's a problem."
FO: Glances left with a YGBSM expression.
CA: Silent.
Bill: (In cruise). "Anyone headed towards Reston? I don't have a car."
CA: "I'll give you a ride."
FO: Rolls eyes in incredulity.
Bill: (In descent) "I don't have a hotel reserved. Anyone know of a place to crash?"
CA: "I have an extra room; you can stay there."
FO: Stares daggers at her sluttish CA.

They had a good laugh deplaning (debriefing).


YGBSM (engl. You Gotta Be Shittin' Me, zu deutsch etwa „Du willst mich doch verarschen“)

enjoy!
