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. |

Is this the guy who hands out to all the ladies his business cards that say "ace pilot" on them?

Was it on an MD-88?
There's a certain CA that is well known for doing that. |

The only thing in my CRM toolkit that would work in that situation would be swift and certain assurances that I assumed I was laughing with him because Shirley he couldn't be srsly saying that. And some prescription stregth eye rolling. |
This morning in DCA, on ground frequency:
"Washington Ground, Alaska Maintenance" Ground replied "Alaska Maintenance, go ahead" No reply. "Washington Ground, Alaska Maintenance" "Go ahead" No reply "Washington Ground, Alaska Maintenance" "Yes, go ahead" No reply "Washington Ground, Alaska Maintenance" This happened, no joke, about 10 to 12 times. Ground guy almost went ballistic. Fun times early in the AM |

A legend,...in his own mind.;)
fbh CC had a blue Stetson made with the AA chicken on it, and other assorted cowboy accoutrements. His PA's went something like this (and I am not kidding)... "Howdy folks, Cap'n Cowboy here. Yeah, I'm a real Cowboy. At this time, I'd like all my fillies to head to the corral, because we are about to move 'em out! Yeehaw!" It was insanely over the top. Every PA had cowboyish symbology. FA's were fillies, passengers cattle, pilots wranglers, etc. No one got more pax mail than CC. It was surprisingly evenly divided. Some despised him, some thought he was great entertainment. :rolleyes: |
