Sure every airplane has a condescending nickname, but why do some of you guys always feel the need to say something insulting to a fellow pilot? No one likes it, so just don't do it... it's immature and unprofessional. You could just as easily be sitting in their seat and them in yours with a different roll of the dice come hiring time. Those of you who think you are better than everyone else and always want to say something to prove it are just showing what an a$$ you are every time you key the mike.

And speaking as a Dash 8 FO, it embarasses me when a captain does this. Oh, and I know exactly who the Dash 8 captain in this story is.. he always has something to say about every airplane and every pilot. According to him every plane is a piece of #### and every pilot is a dumb *********. I hope he reads these forums so he will know how much all his FO's hate flying with him and his "I am God's Gift to Flying" attitude.
