I'm assuming the interview didn't go too well. Either time.

It has light chop, but it also includes the difference between turbulence and chop. There are also descriptive terms like occasional, intermittent and continuous.

I see I have triggered all the pilots who need a safe space and can’t take criticism.

You know things are good in the industry when this is a point of contention over memorial day weekend...

Light chop police are recruiting from guard police apparently.

I wouldn’t say ignore, but I’ll take it with a grain of salt. Sometimes you fly through the same area and think actually it was occasional light turbulence.

Yup industry is better than ever...

As for guard police, guess you haven’t thought about what frequency ground point 5 would be.

Especially when a guy with Fife in his name, who quotes the AIM, then suggests mostly smooth is a thing. Keep them coming!

Rest your scphincters!
Notice that the FMS is on the Free Text Page. This didn’t come from dispatch.....just a witty captain.

That's sad. Making fun of Delta pilots for doing it by the AIM?

When you go to troll and **** up this bad then you must really be just a **** up. And I say this with a

because it's so sad.
