I was having A drink and watching YouTube the other night. I decided to see if youngsters were still playing flight sim. I assumed that world would have all but died. Boy was I wrong! Search xplane 11 and vatsim. Live act, Metering, ground, tower, vhf, hf, nat hla, lnav, vnav, Ian, fms, Cost index, ENG-OUT buttons, proper FMAS, it’s all there! ****ing amazing! Some of the teens doing how to videos were better than indoc instructors!

That guy sounds like a poser in some kind of party suit. Any military pilot who entered the squadron area wearing a “jumpsuit with ‘AirBoss’ emblazoned all over it” would be scoffed into a grease spot. :p

Yup, this. I think "Virtual Airlines" are dorky beyond description, but you know what?, He ain't bothering anyone. Calling him a "tool" because his choice of time-waster doesn't meet with your approval is ... well ... toolish.

Na, hes a tool.

If he couldent understand the optics of how that looked... then hes going to have an interesting career.

We gave him a little piece of our mind after the flight. He then had the stupidity to ask if one of us were Navy and thus the reason for the riff. This guy was a total idiot. Let’s just say the jumpseat committee knows all about him now. He was also CASS denied so go figure.

The irony? Where did you get your dictionary?

Alanis Morissette gave it to him. Now that’s ironic, don’t you think?

So he didn't quite red line your tool meter, huh? Curious what it would have taken

Can you kind of outline for us your thought process that led to you letting him on? Dress code at my carrier is pretty relaxed for a number of reasons, but if I *were* flying for a passenger carrier with any kind of dress code, I could visualize myself going out on a limb a little and maybe looking the other way for someone who was otherwise a decent sort. I really have a tough time seeing myself bending the rules much for a guy who is is a complete douche, and also is that far out of compliance the dress code.

Agreed. The whole thing leaves me scratching my head on why on earth would you let a guy like this think it was okay to act like he did and show up for a jumpseat dressed like that.

Both of us work for SWA and we have an extremely relaxed JS dress code, but military flight suit?! Are you kidding me? Then even worse is the attitude. Yeah.....you’re denied AND I’m turning it in to our JS Committee. YHGTBSM.
