Aaaaaahhh balls I'm a tool again.

What am I supposed to ask the gate agent? "Have you seen the flight attendant for TransOceanic 456 to Berlin?"

"Have you seen my flight attendant?" Much easier and everyone knows what you're talking about.

I'm a tool. What of it? Go get my coffee. (this is directed to MY FO, lest there be any question, don't trust those F/A's anymore)

How can you tell it was not a good decision? Being involved in similar instances of this nature, I side with the cappy making the call on this one. My opinion, you bet!

Default Little Jets Big SUVs

TOTD - Pax that said to me at the gate; “Oh gawd! I hate flying on those little jets (it was a CRJ). They are so unsafe.” I looked at the Pax and said; “I hear ya. I also hate those big old SUVs and the idiots that drive them!” Bingo! I could tell by the Pax’s response I hit a nerve. Pax did drive one of those big old SUVs. Now how did I guess that? I could tell the Pax was peeved by my comment but I felt quite satisfied. I told her to enjoy her flight. Bet that took her mind off of flying on one of those ‘Little Jets.”

You haven't heard?.. Sully told everyone that RJs and their degenerate pilots would of killed everyone in the Hudson. We're SO unsafe!

I'm a pilot and riding on RJs makes me nervous. The pilots are more likely to be fatigued, less experienced, flying a broken airplane, etc.

Agree on all parts except the broken planes. Some Majors carry just as many DMIs as the little guys. Especially Big D and US.
