The 1st one left for greener pastures. The 2nd CA is still there. He is also the one who noticed a newly married groom just getting on our flight from Nassau & proceded to conclude his announcement with best wishes to the bride & "to the groom....buddy your life is over"! Stay classy regional airline captain.

The icing on the cake was his sign off, he would say "I love you" and then kiss the mic on the phone a couple of times. Awkward. Maybe not quite a Tool moment but definitly a lose your man card moment.

Another TOTD & I am sure I will be stepping on toes with this one is the pilots who call their spouse while in the cockpit after every leg to tell them they have landed safely. Seriously, come on save it for the dangerous van ride in SDQ.

Or the CA who insisted on talking to his wife on his phone while taxiing to get deiced in CVG. Once in the line and about numero 4 for the hose down he decides to shut both engines down. Sure as shootin' the line moves up & the deice boss is yelling at us to move up. El Capitan, still jabbering on the phone, bring the thrust levers up on quiet engines. Tool.
