No impropriety here but certainly a funny story.

So Thursday I'm doing a MR to requalify for EXP.....slow year!

At the advice of andrzej I flew SAN-LAX-LAS-LAX-SAN......taking me past the necessary 1800 miles I needed to re-qualify!

Interesting the LAX-LAS-LAX was on the same plane with around a 45 minute layover.........when I got back on the plane the guy in front of me had been on the previous flight................after a little conversation come to find out he is doing exactly the same thing in order to re-qualify for PLT.

Here's where is gets good.............We arrive back at LAX about 20 minutes early and we both make a dash for the bus to the satellite terminal to catch an earlier flight. On the bus believe it or not is the FO (First Officer) from our flight. I commented on quickly he made it to the bus and how I was on both flights with him. He too was trying to get an earlier flight to SAN and we talked a bit about what a MR was and why we were doing it.

He asked if we were both in FC on both flights.....when we said yes he started to laugh. He said you know the only guys we see do that are Air Marshalls........and we were all in the cockpit on the way back to LAX perplexed as to why in the world an air Marshall be "pounding down scotch's" on duty! They were all worried and wondering what to do about it!

So when he realized it was actually the 2 of us.....not seated together and not talking other than a brief exchange when we got on the plane.....who were consuming alcohol......he laughed!!!

Oh well..........at least I thought it was funny!

Cheers
