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.

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

Ah, but a distant second to AA's "Captain Cowboy", now retired. I wish I had a pic of him.
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.

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...
It's an incredible embarassment.
