You Sir, are the Tool of the Day.
Thank the sky gods you only have one year till retirement.
Retirement should be a sliding scale.
If you’re an a-hole 55 and if you’re a cool dude 75.
Average be 65.

Did he have a crappy headset?
Rare to see 737 guys without a DC or Bose in right seat, still a few even with just boom mic and ear piece. Seems I remember someone saying it sounded funny.
Like most, I prefer IC with my DCPro.

Trying to understand what he's complaining about here. When you say "hot mike" do you mean a true hot mike when your mike is continuously open, or voice activated, which many (including my company's checklists) refer to as "hot mike"?
And if he's insisting on not using the intercom, how are you communicating? Just shouting at each other?

Hmmm ... did you recommend him for a psych eval?
