Do they no longer teach what that frequency is there for? Do the idiots chatting on guard prank call 911 for fun on off days? I wonder how many radio calls are missed on the primary frequency due to idiots jabbering away on guard.
A few things I've noticed.
1. Only guys. I've never heard a female, not once.
2. Don't say anything. Please, it's like chumming the water. It just attracts more of them and makes things worse.
3. Don't assume it's some RJ pilot. I once rode a legacy JS and the young captain was doing it. "Meow." I wanted to strangle him. Finally the FO told him to please stop.
