Are you aware that there were crashes "back in the day?" Generationally speaking only.
I don't think you will find much disagreement that using guard for monkey noises and fart sounds is unacceptable behavior.
However, your correlation of guard vs emergency response is at a minimum a leap of nonsequiturian proportions.
I had no idea that Captain Haynes was military trained.
My point is this...if someone needs to use 121.5, but can't because juveniles are busy entertaining themselves then that is a problem.
Go to company frequency if you want to be a jerk.
You say that making fart sounds and monkey noises is unprofessional. I completely agree! So many on here and in the air don't seem to agree.
As for the two captains I mentioned, I have the utmost respect for them because they are professionals - before, during and after their accidents, not because of the accidents.
