So who's the jett jockey swinging the gear lever?

We had a laugh while we were doing our runup today.


Anyways, although a bit unprofessional, you lightened up the mood as well. Glad to hear your having fun out there.Blue skies and fly safe!

Also putting in the flight number sucks a little.

That being said at least you could laugh about it. The monotony of this job needs to be broken up now and again.
We have seen adding in two words, "with you" on initial check-in described as UNprofessional on these aviation web boards

If people are going to be that over the top with *professional* communication then 'born ready' and 'killing me smalls' ought to make the grade too don't you think?

Or - we could all just take a slightly more relaxed outlook and be reasonable.

Nah.........this is the internet.
