Quite true. I just assumed someone was doing that on an International flight, not a RJ flight. Ugh.

The captain at EAL I used to get stuck with--hand flew the entire leg even while eating the crew meal. Yes, we get 'em in prehistory.

I flew with someone like that in my previous life.

And also to the guy/girl who walked by my car in the DTW employee lot. Your fat a$% swiped my side-view mirror, broke it off and left it hanging by the power cable. Thanks, I only used it ALL of the time while driving to and from the airport.

Flew with a guy a few weeks ago that insisted on hand-flying up to the hand-off to the second ATL center frequency every leg, which just happens to be the perfect way to maximize the workload on the FO.

Not that the job is that hard..., but it was kind of a pain, relatively speaking.

I didn't say that Disco wasn't a nice guy, I said his hair color was unnatural and didn't match his age. I brought this up because I saw another over 60 guy this morning and his hair color was..........well........not natural. Gray hair is dignified and goes with the wrinkles.

Any 3 year RJ FO that thinks any 6 plus year RJ Captain or 747 Captain over age 60 is "hogging their seat" and "there must be something wrong with those guys."

Does tool self disclosure work the same way as it does with the FAA? Do we get immunity for TSRS / ASAP?

Hate to turn this into a scope debate, but I wasn't planning on being gray and a First Officer.

Gray hair is dignified and looks more appropriate on a Captain.
