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.

Unfortunately not. I'm part of a pilot group on Facebook and about once a month someone explains how they asked for a different code because ATC assigned them one with 666.
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.

Not really frightening, it's all legal. One official state marriage (taxes), the rest are just church weddings. Same ballpark as swinging IMO, not really my cup of tea, but whatever makes consenting adults happy.
The subject even came up because over the course of the trip my military experiences were discussed, including socializing with the (multiple) wives of arab dignitaries.

Apparently the higher ups there are superstitious too.
