1. The Nerd: This guy will regurgitate obscure non relevent aviation facts from TOC* to TOD*. Great to have in the flightdeck on a long trip when you have a biannual recurrent simulator check coming up. Knows his SOP* & FOM* backwards while laying sideways in the crew bunk. Is the one soul in the company that reads all the emails from the office daily. Will have the latest aviation news portal bookmarked on his smartphone and is the first to have an informed opinion when an air incident happened anywhere around this planet. Great guy to have if you have trouble sleeping during a controlled rest.
2. The Glutton: Have tried all the restaurants within a 10 mile radius of the crew hotel in the employer's route structure. Knows what to order whenever he is in a restaurant and the food will never disappoints. Eats anything that moves. Nothing is too exotic for him. Price of the restaurant is never an issue. Great guy to have on a strange layover.
3. The Playboy: The bulletproof cockpit door is there to protect the female crew from his X-ray vision stares. Will sell his mother to score with any chick. Has the sweetest compliment ready for any soul that possesses two X chromosome. Always in love and forever distracted by the constant stream of young new unsuspecting female crew. The cabin crew department should have his picture printed on the Safety Emergency Procedure handbook - in the section labeled "Dangerous goods inside the cockpit" Always have the juiciest night stop stories to tell. A good person to do a long red eye flight with.
4. The Naval Aviator: Flies better than the autopilot, more often than not has military styled short hair, calls you Sir when he greets you in the crew dispatch. Good to have with you in an emergency. Never late for his flights and respects the chain of command.
