No comparison to the tool of the century in the previous posts, but I vote a JetBlue crew member landing at BOS last night for Tool of the week.

Weather was clearing and along with wind change, landing runway was change from 22L to 27.

Our intrepid JetBlue crew was one of many getting reassigned to 27 as follows.

(following are not direct quotes, but close)

BOS APP: JetBlue XYZ, turn XYZ, new runway 27

JETBlue XYZ: Is this going to take some time, because we turn into a pumpkin (or something like that)


BOS APP: JetBlue XYZ, are you at minimum fuel, please state minutes remaining.

JetBlue XYZ: No, not fuel, we're pushing our duty time for the next leg.


Seriously?

We were really enjoying our 12+ hour duty day ourselves, and while I don't know for sure if this guy got priority or affected us one minute, it seemed ATC accomodated him after his little whine.


(I guess I really shouldn't complain, we made money on the leg)
