Sometimes you get that guy...

I walked up front on an ASA CR7 one time to ask for a ride... did dance we are all to familiar with, which was followed with "are you going to be up front?" "It could go either way right now..."

That was followed with a "I hope not" from the CA. ... yikes.


Every carrier has their few. I was jumpseating on DL not long before I got hired there, and the CA asked to see my license and medical. My medical was one of the new gen that we all use now which are smaller and off a laser printer. He said he didn't recognize the format and wanted to call the AME to make sure it was real. ....really?

I held my breath, put my hat down a little lower (was in uniform...), and made sure I stood tall over his diminuitive size while he made the phone call. Thankfully they had just opened and answered that morning.

.... yeah, that guy. Sometimes people lose siight of what is important.
