Your attempt to mock the pilot is not working with me.
Why?
The pilot will not have to buy drinks for the foreseeable future.
Whether the pilot is a he or a she- and is single- then there will be an ou la la factor that will bring some smiles to their face compliments of their suitors.
The crew chief will also enjoy some credential boosting and will proudly adorn the aircraft with the requisite “kill” emblem.
Yes, as is the tradition, the pilot will endure some ribbing but will be infamous none the less, though through no fault of their own, and the pilot will become legend.
Lighten up Francis!
You know- the thing!
