The Captain and I emphasize CAPTAIN because he let us know about 20 times on the PA of AA1535 today from San Jose to Ohare who went into the most ridiculous details of the flight plan and route. Thank God I was able to get my earphones in to drown him out, but I’ve never heard anyone talk so much about points on the ground between Lake Taho and Sioux City. Shut up man.

I'm going to nominate the idiot mother in the terminal in DTW with her face in her phone crushing candy or booking face or whatever it is that idiots glue themselves to their phones for. She's completely oblivious to the rest of the world while her 2-3 year old plays at the end of a long moving walk way. Just about punted that poor kid when I came screaming off that thing trying to make my commute and he goes rolling across the exit ramp with his toy car!

Total moron! You need a license to drive a car, cut hair, give mani/pedis, sell real estate, etc., but NOTHING needed to breed/raise a child!

The TOTD goes to the pilot who posted this as his solution to punish any pilot who applied for a job while his airline was in negotiations.

1.

Most of all ensure that they understand and process the poor decision they made without using the “Scab” term. That term is reserved for a few elite and fungal members of society and should not be thrown around loosely.
2. Get another list of the guys that can prove their Job offer during this time and declined. Help anyone on that list get rehired and when they are at F9 they should not pay for their beers on any trips for their probationary year.

It's short sighted, however tensions are high so it's a little understandable. In this age of activism it's easy to jump on the wagon without even thinking about why you're on it.
