A good one for The Airline Pilots
A good one for The Airline Pilots Retirement Reminder: (from a fellow retiree) We have a cockpit mock-up in our house. When I mention to my wife that I miss flying by being retired, she puts me in the mock-up around bed time for 8 hours. She has a chair in a closet, puts on the vacuum cleaner to simulate engine and cockpit air noises, has a dim nite-lite to simulate cockpit lightning, serves luke-warm chicken with cold vegetables on a tray. When I get sleepy and attempt to doze off, she knocks twice loudly on the door to simulate the F/As entering the cockpit. Then after 6 hours she turns on a flood light directly in front of me to simulate the sun coming up when approaching 15 West. I then get a cup of coffee that has been in the coffee maker all night. Finally she lets me out and I have to get in the back seat of her car while she runs morning errands to simulate the bus ride to the hotel. When we get home, I tell her I am ready for bed and the bedroom door is locked for an hour...
