My not-so-subtle hint of staring out the side window in total silence for as long as possible to avoid his droning voice doesn't work.
Sometimes, the conversational chemistry just isn't there. If that's the case, at least let me discreetly read a USA Today in cruise.

Damned Jesus freaks who found the way, and won't give it a rest when they're told how happy we are they've found the way, and give a rest... But NOOOOOO they just can't seem to give it a rest. Especially at O-dark 30

TOTD to any enviro-weenie that you have to fly with. Spends the whole trip telling you about climate change, bad coal, evil oil companies blah blah blah.
I finally told one guy to have the courage of hIs convictions, and quit flying to go tend his compost heap, after pointing out that he was an agent of the devil he so hated by burning 6000lb/hr of dino juice.
His response? "if I don't do it, someone else will"
So TOTD to you, Mr. Hypocrite.
Nu

"Your profession, you're a Delta pilot, right?" I asked.
"No, my line check pilot profession," he said.
I just rolled my eyes and put my schedule back in my bag.

Correction..Jokes on me. Comair crew did not know about us and thankfully the 3am wake up was not their room. C and D, It was great drinking beer with y'all by the pool and good luck to you both if you happen to come by apc. SW in msy. Still tools.

Finally a Delta professional observing this stellar display of airmanship, had to key the mic and say "just go-around southwest". And second, to the comair crew in a unnamed capital city that would not hold the van for 5 mins for a Delta crew. Jokes on you dumb****. Hope you enjoyed your 3am phone call.
