I wish there were a technology which would allow me to crawl along the headset cord and physically strangle all these idiots who play games on guard!
It’s called an emergency frequency for a reason.... And that reason is not meowing or making stupid ass beavis impersonations.
Somehow the broken condoms playing all these games just don’t get it. They don’t seem to recognize that they can block actual emergencies with their BS..... I have actually heard a plane the controllers were trying to talk down Through an overcast being blocked by “yer onguaaard” and “meow, meow, meow” during an actual emergency.
The FAA has put out a warning that they are looking for these bastards. I don’t have an ounce of sympathy for anyone they catch. I’d be all for full permanent revocation.

I too have heard the frequency being used as it was intended while some jack-hole is playing on it like a 10-year old, interrupting the controller.
Lame-@$$ and completely unprofessional.
I had to stop one of my F/O's once who was about to make fart noises on 121.5. He said, "It's funny".
For those of you who participate in the shenanigans, would you want your family, friends and all of America to know of your behavior after an incident/accident when the tapes are made public?

What makes so many think that regional pilots are the culprits behind guard transmissions? It is typically some older dudes transmitting, the odds are thus higher that mainline pilots are playing games on 121.5.

Because I witnessed it at a regional. In 12 years at ACMI and a legacy -- with more mature crews -- never.
