The only thing I like more than hearing my own voice on the radio is...

"Boomer, you're on Guard you idiot!!!"

FWIW, the only time I've heard that is the tower requesting it from an airplane. I've never heard another airplane calling it.

....not saying it's never happened.

I like to check in by telling tower we have the airport in sight.

Then I ask what he's showing for the RVR.

Anyone else work with guys who start briefing on their way to the airport?

I mean it's great your thinking ahead and everything, but we're going to brief everything later anyway.

Ha! Saw this happen in a hotel van I was riding in the other week. Made me wish I had some cards made to hand out that said "Congratulations! You have been nominated for APC Tool of the Day!" Got my FO good the next morning though when I started briefing him in the Starbucks line

You want to off somebody(s), where there is a will; there is a way, gun or no gun.

"Stabbings are the most common form of murder in Britain, where firearms — except certain shotguns and sporting rifles — are outlawed."

And this makes me the TOTD for bringing forth such info. Hey! Alls fair as they say.
