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:

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.

It's because doctors dream of being airline pilots, but airline pilots don't dream of being doctors. :rolleyes:

Wrong.

I am a member of a medical forum and actively volunteer at a hospital to satisfy my desire to be in medicine. I'd love to be in medicine as an MD or DO, particularly emergency medicine, I find it fascinating. That said, I'm also quite happy flying around the world.

Its a funny and tragic place to work--all at the same time. Mostly spend your nights passing out Dilaudid and Percocets to all the crackheads. Occasionally you get to save someone.

It was a joke. You guys see the emoji? Sheesh, SNAPs.

(PS, my BS is in Biology, and I passed the MCATS, but decided to not go to med school cause I realized I'd have a horrible bedside manner. And the medical field is better off for it.)

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”

Oh, that Henny Youngman!
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!"

Yeah, no doubt about that. I've done volunteer work in the ED and worked there during my EMT training. Pros and cons.

My bad. I'll turn up my emoji sense.

The pilot in the DC area that went on guard last night and purposely did a pre take off announcement posing as a delta pilot and went on to explain how he was Air Force and the fo was navy. That whole routine. Clever and we chuckled but cmon dude.

What proof do you have to substantiate your claim that:

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

All the Delta pilots that would make a real PA like that would do it on the flight attendants first class interphone. That's my proof that it was a spoof.

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.

Real Navy pilots don't keep track of the number of carrier landings they have. (I have 201😆)

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!

Some are more impressed with themselves more than others. I guess they're legends in their own minds.

Ah sorry I forgot. You're still sore I burst your little FFDO hero fantasy. Sorry Serena, but you won't have the opportunity to be the savior when the terr-wist bursts through the cockpit door after getting past security, the angry passengers, and the fortified door. 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.

I am close friends in real life with a few transport captains, and also have numerous aviation professionals as patients I have to see every 6 months for their special. They are great people and we have a great relationship. Fortunately I've never encountered anybody as idiotic and childish as the noisemakers on this forum, particularly the wannabes here (obvious who they are), but can fortunately quickly ignore.

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:

Keep in mind cpnjns that a subset of pax eat this up... I am sure he gets a great deal of positive feedback, and the remainder are just too polite and will look down in their books during the briefing.

Indeed. After every checkride back in training the DPE would want to ask me all sorts of questions about medicine. I'm happy to oblige as long as I don't have to be anywhere (and got the cert ;) )

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.

Because I heard it two weeks ago in the Mid Atlantic region, and a friend heard it last week down in Florida. Other people have heard it around too. Pretty obvious that it's not a coincidence that this guy is making the same "PA" over guard, all over the East coast by accident.

I've had passengers ask on a number of occasions about that. Some people like nerdy things. ;)

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.

Well said, Doc. In a group of people with abnormal egos, the APC subset is WAY to the right on the Bell Curve. I put it down to general inexperience.

Maybe, maybe not. But it does teach us how to spot people who apparently don't think they are part of the group they denigrate. Go back to the old Juno treads. You're just as bad as everyone else.

Whats the cost to hear this place?

Can you be any more of an ignorant narcissist? There is no soreness here, since I'm not an FFDO, don't intend to become an FFDO, and never posted a word about the FFDO program on this or any other forum. I replied as I did because your analogy was ill-fitting at best and shows a real lack of understanding about the profession you continue to troll about. The fact that you didn't respond to my reply and instead detoured into a misdirected personal insult only furthers my case. Apparently logic and truth aren't tenets of pretending to be a doctor on a pilot bulletin board.
