I'm taking my daughter to a game tomorrow, so I hate that I'm gonna miss the show. If you creative ones come up with any good ones, let me know.

My favorite is still:

"When is ATC gonna learn? You don't tell a DC-9 to go directly to a fix, you tell the fix to go to the DC-9."

Classic! Whoever came up with that (80 or ftb) should know, I mutter that every time ATC tries to send us to a fix. (And give you both credit for it, because I can't remember who said it.) :D

Goodnight.

New K

My Fav:

ATC: NW123 we show you 2 miles south of course
DC9: Pretty good for a DC9 eh?

Just pulled up mine..can't find the rate now either.

I'll go hunting, or some of the better educated guys can help me find where it's [payrate] posted.....

Try the PWA Section 3 B. 2. c. (page 3-8 for F/Os).
Also, APC is generally spot on too.

Funny. A total NewK response.

Funny thing is I've actually flown with a few captains that have said the same thing to me in there briefings while being 100% serious.:rolleyes:
Basically if he was such a safety conscience he wouldn't have hit the birds in the first place (Their words exactly).

I guess if there is one thing pilots hate to give out more than compliments, it's money.

There are a few places to check your pay rate.

Go to DBMS===>

Bank and Hours===>

Pay Statement.

It is top right and is stated in pay per minute.

Hope this helps. If you need another place let me know . It will only show for a month that has completely finished. Ala May is not there yet.

ACP-Audio Control Panel, not APC.

Lame joke.

Oh, you can screw that thing up to pretty good! Actually, I've had three stuck mic's with that thing.

Peer pressure. Or as you Californians would say, Pier Pressure, surfs up! :D

NewK don't fly no ILS. He cobbles in the ADF freq, figures his 3 to 1, and let's her rip. A little cross controlling makes up for a whole lot of the other ****. NewK's grandfather used to fly the mail from New York to Cheyenne. NewK flies similar routes using the same techniques. A stick of Beeman's, a thorough walk-around, and a sexy talk with the aircraft. Hell, Newk evens walks out onto the wing mid-flight to check the oil and survey the icing. When its really bad, and he's flying from MSP to SLC, he has to get out there with a hammer and knock the severe stuff off. Still, he has time to get back in the seat, suck on a nice Cubano, comfort the passengers, and make plans with the sexy one in the back. Be thirsty my friends.

Very nice Buzz, let me tell you a story about the sexy one in the back. It was a dark and rainy night, wait, no, I have no idea what it was. But if was a Continental Express 1900D, no flight attendant so the FO was doing the passenger announcements and then went back to check seat belts on this full flight. When he gets to the exit row there sits a very hot girl, but she looks young, maybe too young to be in an emergency exit row.

"How old are you?"

"15." He looks back up to the cockpit to where the Captain is and shouts:

"IS 15 LEGAL?!"

Everybody turns around, FO, girl, FAIL.
