After the checkride

When I first started flying Skycranes, our training captains all needed to fill out a little report card on “the new kids” after each shift so the office could see how we were are doing in the field. I really didn’t know anybody at the company yet and how exactly it would be to work there. So here I am at my new job, flying with a new training captain who I just met, getting my first “report card” filled out. At the time I didn’t know that he was a really nice guy, great pilot, yet with a very twisted sense of humor. I was sitting next to him as he is writing away on his paperwork looking very concentrated and focused. Suddenly he looks up and with a serious and straight face looked me in the eye asking, “hey is ‘f**ed up’ one word or is it hyphenated?”. My heart dropped. I just started I couldn’t tell if he was serious or not. Turned out he was just joking and I did pretty good on my first shift, but he really had me there for a few moments. And of course everything that happens to me, somehow also seems to happen to Chuck, HAHA. We just had to change the words around a little since we try to stay away from the typical utility pilot language in our strip.

    On that note, Chuck doesn’t trash planes as much as he used to. Julio doesn’t hate him for it, he just doesn’t like when Chuck borrow his tools. If I wouldn’t know better, I would say Chuck have become a better pilot.

    I am not so sure, Magnus. Like as not, we are supposed to know by what kind of a pilot Chuck, is and no further illustrations of his (lack of) skills is deemed necessary. Cartoon characters never change, remember? They don’t even age like mere mortals.
