eh deleted, my venting was not actually good enough for the TOTD thread. Guess I am now the TOTD.

If the voice wasnt bad enough, dont call the controller saying that if you dont get into CLT soon you will cause a diversion. For one there were 10+ airplanes holding around you and the airport was still closed. Its called MIN FUEL, when you said 5 times that if you didnt get into CLT soon you would divert, and the controller kept saying say again, he was not asking you to repeat it, he was saying say min fuel or ****!

Rant over, but get the mic out of your nose or shutup, your not the only one diverting, hence the gongo line to Columbia.

A chick, constantly nagging about the obvious...say it ain't so!

Trans states crew that denied me the jumpseat yesterday when trying to get to work...ended up with a late sign-in.

They needed to add ballast..and once they found out I wasn't "one of their guys", they said they couldn't do it.

1) For some reason rammers don't really like giving HK tails ballast (maybe because they take so much of it being sans-TR and all)

2) That fancy-pants FMS weight and balance is a P.O.S. when it comes to jumpseating.

3) They should have known you weren't AX within 5 seconds of you entering the cockpit right?

There's always two sides to a story. Care to PM me the flight number so I might ascertain whether or not the crew is really eligible for TOTD?

how about the crew who got you home last night and couldnt find the gate in your semi podunct home town airport, the ground crew had to chase us down in the bag cart. I think we win TOTD.

I swear its because I was still ****ed about listening to that air shuttle chick.

Guard police tools were absent today. A United pilot did his 15 min cruise PA over guard on his way to Vancouver today. We were over CO when it started. Man did he receive a roasting. However not one person came over and said to keep it professional on guard.
