It cracks me up when I'm not looking and the Captain is just staring at the plane. Then, "AAAHHHH!!! The light! What a retard!!"
Yeah buddy, HE is the retard. The next big accident will probably be a runway incursion. I say burn the hell out of their eyes and save some lives.
KillingMe, as a night freight guy, I must be a tool and a retard TOO!
I get it most of the time from "day" pilots who happen to be operating after the sun has dropped. Position lights, turn-off and logo lights are cool but please hold on the strobes and the landing lights until you get your takeoff clearance.
Cheers and thank you, from the bottom of my retinas!
