I had a girl I knew from high-school walk onto a plane I was flying and on seeing me in the cockpit she said, "you have to get out of there before someone sees you and you get in trouble."
On a 3 1/2 hour RJ flight from EWR-OMA; "oh no, not one of those puddle jumpers again...."---Until we start flying 74's to OMA, you get RJ's; suck it up.
Now days, the boxes rarely complain.... and I'm usually the one making dumb comments.
My first day of OE here at 9E my FA a relatively old lady asked me "So does your mommy know you fly a jet airplane?"
The best jerk pax story I have had recently.... I was flying DTW to AUS one night and the FA kept calling up to the cockpit, "it's too hot", "now its too cold"... this happened about 30 times or 40 times though out the course of this flight to the point it got really freaking annoying.... Well it turns out all the complaining is comming from two people a husband and wife with small kid. Well the kid was getting sick reason being from what the FA told me the kid was wearing a thick winter sweater (it's still the middle of summer) and the parents before and during the flight were feeding this kid milk, grapes and apple juice. (the basic barf combo) Well we got down to AUS made a smooth landing and just as we were rolling out on 35L the smell of puke floods the cockpit... This kid had tossed his cookies all over the place. Well after everyone else had deplaned the parents and the kid are standing on the jet bridge. I try to walk past them trying to get outside to do my walkaround and the dad stops me and starts getting in my face. Giving me a bunch of $hit telling me that I have a lot of nerve and that they had a sick kid and we couldn't get the temperature right... As politely as I could I then start trying to say sorry sir but (not knowing how to explain an ACM bypass valve to an idoit) the temperature is controlled by an automatic valve that the computer regulates and while we try to give it our best input.... just then he cuts my off in the middle of my sentence and says "no this is not an Im sorry sir" then starts this $hit about; typical nobody around here wants to take any accountability... So fed up with this guy and just shy of flat out saying Fuk You to him.... in the middle of his sentence I turn my back to his face and walk calmly away....
