"Sorry about that Center, Navy XXX, but I was on the landline." |

"Ding" Ladies and gentleman from the front office...blah blah..... This guy proceeded to give an award winning briefing to his pax over Cleveland Centers freq. It went on for three minutes at least, he never took his hand off the button for anyone to stop him. Some Express Jet guys going to Buffalo. They were on time with nice weather. When he finished there was a dead silence |
This one's from the olden days when America West was brand new and didn't pay so well. In Navy Reserve Squadrons if you're on drills, you get two days pay for each day you fly. If on orders, its just day for day pay. This day I was on orders.
The Friday of the Tailhook Convention meltdown I had a triple turn taking guys to Las Vegas for the Convention. On the 3rd trip through, the ground Controller was getting to recognize my voice. When I asked for taxi to the FBO, he said "You know the route, cleared to the FBO." "Cleared to taxi," I said, "I'm feeling like an America West pilot today." "How's that?" a third gravelly, grouchy voice asked. "I've been to LAS 3 times and I'm getting paid half of what I'm worth." |
I gave one of those award-winning eloquent, slightly humorous but very professional PAs as we were descending towards the destination, talking about the weather, time remaining, what were were over blah blah blah. I went on to explain that we would be parking at a hardstand which meant they would be pulling stairs up the airplane and then everyone would get off and get on a bus to the terminal. Thanked everyone for flying our airline, etc etc. When I finished, approach pops up with "Ah man! I hate it when you have to get on the bus!!!":D

I was in ORD for a reposition flight the other day waiting to get de-iced. We were probably about 15-20 minutes into the wait when this one girl calls in "Airshuttle xxx, we have been waiting 20 minutes for de-ice, blah, blah, blah, blah, etc." Some other guy gets on after she is done whining and says "wahhhhhh" like a baby. She got all defensive on freq and tried to act tough. Captain and I had a good laugh.
