Back, way back in the day....

Husband (Captain SierraHotel) laying in bed with his wife.

Phone rings on the nightstand (old-fashioned kind).

CA SierraHotel: "Hello"
Crew Scheduling: "Is this CA SierraHotel?"
CA SierraHotel hands phone to wife and says: "Hey, somebody's looking for your husband!!"

Far as I know, true story!

Folks need new material.

Or the one about the FO (always described as “a girl”) who answered the phone during taxi with an FAA person in the JS.

Or the one about the guy who refused to cut his ponytail.

Biblical truths! She got fired, the moral of the story is only women answer and talk on a "phone" so don't be that guyette.

Wow, she's not too bright - she went on to get hired at AA and did the same thing again. It's absolutely a true story - I heard it straight from a check airman in the schoolhouse!

Giving up control of your own body to a corporation is a big ask. It's one thing to give it to the military, is another thing to give it to your boss. Idk why so many pilots take specific pride in giving it up. It makes them feel special I guess.

Respect to pony tail guy for keeping his autonomy intact
