This topic and those who support it are nothing but bad for us and our industry. I'm sure your passengers would love to know that your playing games in the cockpit. If you insist on entertaining yourself in that way on the job I highly suggest that you take a job flying boxes in a caravan or something. At least if you forget where you're flying or aren't prepared for what can happen you'll only end up putting yourself in danger. I hope a United 232 or similar doesn't happen when you're so preoccupied fighting some freakin' zombie like a 6 year old...

If you were on an 8-10 hour flight you would sit there the entire time looking out the window?

Flatspin, you need to remove the earbuds, ditch the backpack, and ask yourself if this the profession your wish to persue.

Take a leave of absence, mature a bit, review previous incidents that took place because of unprofessional crewmembers who overflew their destination and an Airbus, take stock as what disciplines are required to be an airman, then rethink your post.

I thought of a better title for this thread: "Let's weed out the people on APC who have no sense of humor..."

I would rather do that than stare at an iPad for 8-10 hours.

I don't see how stating on a public forum that you think playing video games while you fly an aircraft is a bad idea means you have no sense of humor. I guess only boring stick in the muds don’t play games while they work and all the fun cool pilots do. This seems like an important topic that speaks volumes about how we want to define our profession.

Personally, I wouldn't do that because I see it as a slippery slope that can easily go from relieving boredom to causing me to lose situational awareness. That doesn't mean you have to sit there and focus all your energy on watching instruments because that is fatiguing too. I prefer less distracting ways to break up the boredom.

Just imagine how dumb we would all look if the media ran with this story. It would be very hard to try to fix this profession if the public assumes we all get paid to play with our iPads while we fly.

With a parenthesis: "and those who have no sense of maturity or discretion on what to post on a public forum."

What about those who listen to music while flying?

+1

It is one thing to play games while you fly, it is another thing to talk about it on a public forum as if there is nothing wrong with doing that.

he he search his posts about how Pinnacle is the scum of the earth for their -900 rates and just in general. who males more? definition of hypocrite. Bet you can't wait to fly those 320's or C-series at regional rates.
People on here are always whining we need to let the public know what we really make, not the 100k with 17 days off that the media/Cohen say. Then these same dopes make a thread like this. You deserve professional pay because you play games in a cockpit? get real.

When I'm deadheading or non - revving I enjoy playing "The Moron Test" It's a free app thats very addicting and a great time killer.
