TOTD: Captains who do your FO duties to "help you out". No man.. you're not helping me out, you're confusing me and messing with my flow.
(I am not talking about doing an FO duty that you missed, I'm talking about them jumping in trying to do both sides of everything)

I nominate the Skywest crew who wanted ATC to give them another transponder code after being given 6667 today, since it must make Jesus angry or something.
The controller who subsequently gave them 6660 (after explaining that was the only other unassigned one he could get) gets nominated for the "anti tool of the day".

Really? I flew with guys who didn't drink. I even flew with a guy who had more than one wife. But I never flew with anyone who would have talked about it on the radio
Sounds like a cool story to me. Or somebody trying to be funny... THAT I could see, probably would have done it myself if I thought of it.

While I think the idea of a superstitious pilot is laughable, the posts usually have dozens of comments from other pilots saying they do the same thing. Makes me wonder if the accept a clearances to 13,000 feet.
