It was 3 years ago, I was still on probation and trying not too laugh noticably/make myself as small and unnoticable so as not to get fired as this captain was laying into him like I've never seen a cockpit visitor get chewed out! I can't remember the specific words the captain used, but that was my understanding of it.
The best part was, the CA found out he was coming on board and told the a-line that he was not welcome in the cockpit. I get back in from doing the walk around and was walking up first class only to see him make his way up front to the cockpit about 5 feet ahead of me without the A-line noticing. I was standing behind him for the first part and hear this "I KNOW GOOD AND WELL WHO YOU ARE!" Oh, hilarity...
