The tool of the day is the selfish, egotistical asshat who parked his Corvette convertible in a handicapped spot outside the supermarket. The best thing I could wish for him is to someday REALLY need that spot and someone does the same to him.

The two tools who greeted each other by saying "War Eagle" today in the crew lounge.

I was gold medallion on DAL before the NJA furlough and got that treatment from the captain of a 737 on the way home once. He was seriously po'ed that I was in first. The FA asked if she could put my jacket in the closet and the guy, looking at me, told her to hand it to him so he could wad it up behind his seat. Said it would look great when we landed. After the flight he was standing in the jetway and offered a few more words of wisdom about fractional guys riding in first. There were a few other epithets said to me, in front of the "paying" pax nonetheless....

Okay new tool alert. UAL (fCAL) FA's who gave the van driver grief when he only said "United" (not CAL) while dropping them off. Please tell me there aren't any pilots doing that.

We're DHing and at the last minute, my FO gets upgraded to the last open seat in !st. I'm in the row behind as he comes up from the back. He asks the male pax at the window if he would like him(my FO) to hang up his coat that the pax has laying over the aisle seat. Pax grabs coat and says loudly to FA in aisle, "I specifically asked that this seat remain open".
FO just smiles and sits down. Pax ignores everyone for rest of flight.

If he wants the seat next to him open he needs to buy two seats

Theres a guy here too that gives the FO a broken leg off a barbie doll when it is your leg, apparently he get confused on whos leg it is so he needs to be able to see it on your side at all times. O and lastly I was in 1st class commuting home for Thanksgiving and the guy next to me looks at me and tells me the help doesnt deserve to sit up front and I should be in back.
The Barbie leg bit is true. Along with gloves and other oddities.

He is still a pilot? I was recently out in Las Vegas and he was on a billboard and is hosting the Chippendales show at The Rio. Major too indeed. Meet him a few years ago and he was a total dork. Much different than how he appears on TV.
