The collector replied: "Well, since it happened, everybody has stopped to ask what was causing the delay." :rolleyes:
How about ads on the radio for auto dealers ? What's the deal with the yelling ? |

The captain who blows one of those train whistles and says, "All aboard!" at the end of his pax brief. Yes. I've heard it.

It gets better though. He mentioned that he was going to "allow" FO Joe to fly this leg and what an outstanding co-pilot he is and how someday when he earns enough time, he to will be a compass capt. So, to you Bob I award you the tool of the day award. Who's next?

If that's true, that low life deserves to be named Tool of the Century.

Guys who don't listen on the radio.
Flying along in cruise. No fewer than 5 people check in on the radio. All are told the same thing- light to moderate chop at all altitudes. The guy next to me picks up the mic- "any ride reports up ahead?":rolleyes: |
Those don't check their audio control panal that commence their long winded speech whilst on Guard. They provide the rest of the world information about their flight from take off to landing, details of their shiny jet, and crew credentials.

Those guys are the MOST entertaining. I especially like it when they think they are calling their ops and someone says "go ahead" and then rogers their call. ps: Every single pilot in the world has had a comm panel faux pas. The tools start every radio call with the word "and" or key the mike without thinking about what they are going to say: "And center er ahh ummm..." |
