GA guy who posts on APC constantly, thus amassing a huge collection of *crickets*

Commuting to MEM from ATL, had the chance to listen up the captain's summary of his past military experience: fighter airplanes flown, total flight time, total fighter jet time and, of course, his total aircraft carrier landings. All this through his "Welcome aboard" speech over the PA...

Ooooooh yes! That type is always eager for a chance to spread the gospel about themselves and their almighty accomplishments in life. They know it is the only public forum left for them to spray forth the ego-fumes.
Dang! That was a little brutal but the truth does hurt sometimes.

Was it on an MD-88?

There's a certain CA that is well known for doing that.

Wow. Maybe saying a few things to ease the passengers' nerves, but come on! :eek:

Yessir... MD88.

You, sir, were in the presence of a legend. Consider yourself lucky!

Yeah, what a huge tool.

So glad I was in civilian clothes when I was on his flight.

Finished the whole thing up with a remark to all the ladies on board that he'd leave his phone number at the conclusion of the flight but actually, it's easy to remember because it's 1-800-HOT-CAPTAIN.

I wish I was joking.

He can't turn 65 soon enough. I felt like calling DALPA pro-stands from my window seat in the back.

A legend,...in his own mind.;)
