Or how about the previous crew that does that for you too? I stand there wondering how the hell they got out of the seat much less how I am supposed to get in. I didn't realize that half the FOs at my company are god**** gymnasts.

^^This. ;)
I've wondered that countless times.

So true.

When I think of some of the cockpit configurations I have inherited from previous crews, I'm convinced that some of my fellow pilots moonlight as circus midgets, while others have side jobs as NBA centers.

LOL

Who was the "Tool" that was wearing a US NAVY sweater with FULL SHOULDER BOARDS (I am talking about the Choker White style) with long blond hair....these Captain stripes were HUGE! I am talking 8" long and 3" wide! and least but not last....I nice big name tag with wings...CAPTAIN IAMSUSIE EMB-145

She worked for Express Jet, and probably moonlights as a Submarine Skipper!

Knobs w/ the handle Klsytakesit who work for Alaska...and call 80 Knots a punk.

Unfortunately, the commando sweaters are now approved uniform pieces. I can't stand them. I refuse to wear a sweater with elbow pads.

I would like to nominate Dean Aviation in KTMB for training all of their students to say, "Any traffic please advise" on CTAF with every communication.

AIM 4-1-9 "Pilots stating, “Traffic in the area, please advise” is not a recognized Self-Announce Position and/or Intention phrase and should not be used under any condition."

And if anyone would like to nominate me for quoting the AIM go ahead I accept but you really have no idea how frustrating this is at a really busy uncontrolled airport.

Agreed. Just tell people where YOU are and leave it at that.

Any tools in the area, please advise.
