Tool of the day goes to the Learjet captain who called Atlantic in chs to reserve the crew car for himself....and returned it 3.5 hours later, not the 2 hrs allowed. There was only 1 car and was told that by FBO who called and he ignored them. This was on a organ medevac flight, there were two other crews there who ended up having to order their dinner and dinner for their doctors teams because of this. Apparently this guy has also done this other times and even called ahead to reserve the sleep room for himself, his tail number is blocked, but it's a white Lear 35 w CC in the tail.

I'm not sure when this imaginary transformation takes place, but it didn't happen to you or me, for better or worse. I'm thinking for better. :cool: "We're coming down faster than a doctor in a bonanza." |

When you comment on a profession that you have never practiced, it gives your opinions little weight, for they are based on what you've heard and read, rather than what you've experienced. |

An engineer could not find a job, so he opens a clinic, and puts a sign outside that says
“Get treatment for $50: if not cured, get back $100.” A doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to show up the engineer and earn a quick $100. He visits the clinic. Doctor: “I have lost my sense of taste.” Engineer: “Nurse, bring the medicine from box no 22 and place 3 drops in the patient's mouth.” Patient (doctor): Spits out the medicine and says, "This is not medicine, its petrol". Engineer: “Congrats... You have your taste back ... that will be $50” Doctor gets annoyed, and returns after several days to recover his money. Doctor: “I have lost my memory and can't remember a thing.” Engineer: “Nurse, bring medicine from box no 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth.” Doctor: "This medicine is for the sense of taste," protests the doctor. Engineer: “Congrats. Your memory is back... that will be $50.” Doctor leaves, but after several days angrily returns for one last try. Doctor: “My eyesight has become weak.” Engineer: “Well I don't have any medicine for that. Take this $100.” Doctor: “But this is $50 note.” Engineer: “Congratulations, your eyesight is better... that will be $50” |

Which reminds me of a couple of his one liners that somewhat apply to this profession: Getting on a plane, I told the ticket lady, "Send one of my bags to New York, send one to Los Angeles, and send one to Miami." She said, "We can't do that!" I told her, "You did it last week!" There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out. My hotel room is so small, the mice are hunchbacked. I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport. The food on the plane was fit for a king. "Here, King!" If my mother knew I did this for a living, she'd kill me. She thinks I'm selling dope. For the doctor side: My doctor grabbed me by the wallet and said, "Cough!" |

1. The PA was done with malice; and 2. The individual was "posing" as a DL crewmember. |

I think he even mentioned number of carrier landings, but I was slow to get the guard volume up. It was pretty funny, but it was so over the top it had to be a troll.

Was on DL last night to SLC-SEA and the capt came into first class and made the exact same announcement, then made it on the PA a few mins later! 739 Seattle based. I cringed as did the others in front. Most embarrassing PA I've ever heard!

If we were having a disagreement about lift, weight, gravity, and drag, then this might have been a good reply. If you can't comprehend the difference then you further dig your own hole of ignorance and irrelevance.

It has been my experience that pilots like to hear medical stories more than I want to hear piloting stories (hopefully not much daily excitement as a civil transport guy...) :eek:

There are a lot of flying doctors still. At least a dozen in one of the hospitals where I work, that I know about. Flying is a great gift and should be encouraged by pros, pro-ams, and amateurs alike. Remember, you (and to a smaller extent even me for GA) represent the profession / pilots and the public perception etc. |

Sounds like the PA on guard has been repeated a few times... probably another bored regional pilot. I'm not a fan of the military self getting off PAs that guys do legitimately do. Dumb. |

The program is much more likely to result in a hole in the side of the plane, leaving the gun somewhere, or creative use by Lubitz or Osbon.
