Don't you mean "theriouth?"

 

that didn't work with my last 2 babymommas/girlfriends.....

 

Mark Clattenberg

 

What happened to Chelsea? TOTD goes to Mark Clattenburg refereeing that game and now is taking over Howard Webb as the 12th player.

 

The LCA on the 320 who let me know that we would operate by the book and went so far as to emphasize his enforcement of the "no reading" rule in the cockpit. His brief ended with an "Oh, by the way, the only thing I do differently is that the ACARS preflight is always the FO's responsibility."
Cooperate and graduate, I say.

 

Definite tool. Sounds like it's time to get out the Vol 1 and do some professional research!

 

I actually respect both mark and howard, mark however did lose us the game. but dude you just got to love the way we are playing. i do miss parking the bus infront of the goal though.

 

This is where iPads shine. Bring up company material on the pad, then some select reading material. Have the company snooze-text ready to display if needed, but otherwise, angle the screen a little and enjoy your Kindle or what have you.

Bonus points for saying "Damn, I have training coming up, need to brush up on systems and limitations a bit."

If all that fails, and Mr. "No reading in MY cockpit" tries to fill the painful void with sparkling conversation, tell him "I'm not being paid to be your in-flight entertainment." Then stare out the window and wish the trip was over. Or think about how you're going to get off the next trip with him.

Every trip with a new CA, I breathe a vast sigh of relief if I see he is carrying a USA today, or whips out a motorcycle magazine in cruise. My plan as a new CA is to simply brief "As long as we do our jobs and don't bend metal, what you do in cruise is up to you."

 

Fixed it for you.

 

I don't see the difference
