"Wow! It really is cheese." Would have been great.

That reminds me of a story from years ago:

727 Captain tells the S/O, "When we're cleared for takeoff, I want you to raise your desk lid up and hold it until I rotate the plane, then drop it. Don't say a word."

S/O asks, "Why?"

Captain: "If we crash, it'll take 'em forever to figure out what that noise was." :D

yea i flew with a captain who would stomp his foot before takeoff. it got old after the third time :D

Poor pilots. They think the NTSB is too stupid to figure out the noises the pilots themselves choose to make. Rest assured, they will. And it will be embarrassing. Aircraft crashed with a probable cause [blah blah]. “Contributing to the accident was the early onset of Tourette Syndrome for the Captain which caused numerous foot stomping on the cockpit floor prior to takeoff..”

I don’t understand the reasoning of making the NTSB’s job harder than it needs to be. They’re not the enemy.

Jumpseat Police
 

This AA CA who publicly berated a pass-traveling regional pilot (who flies for AE), because he didn’t ask him for a Jumpseat.

Kudos to the regional guy, who stayed calm and collected, while trying to educate this CA who was about to have an aneurysm.

What kind of bubble does this guy live in that he doesn’t know who flies for his company and who gets pass travel. If his ignorance doesn’t force him into retirement, maybe a heart attack will.

Not enough info to pass judgment as to the full education the jump seater trying to provide. Was this first hand, or passed along by the Circle K cashier?

You’re underlying suggestions for a causal into retirement or into a grave gives light for a nomination for TOTD.

This happens entirely too often. When you say "I'm with PSA" and they respond with "PSA, we are PSA. PSA have existed in years." You know you're in for an earful.

Once had an AA guy come out of the jump seat he reserved and have me thrown out of my first class seat I was assigned and then up to the jump seat... Where I was lectured about asking for a ride... What the hell.

I heard E190 pilots at AA get asked by certain some others at AA, “when you applying to mainline?”
