Spotted in CLT today. US Airways F/O (not a west guy) with his FFDO bag strapped to his back like a backpack. Dork look.
Also, the East captain that would not say "Hi" to me at Jamba Juice. I guess I wasn't in the cool kids club for him to deign to talk to. I'm over it now, although I did have to wipe a few tears away. Sniff.

It's a "push-to-talk", not a "push-to-think".

Actually, if you getting fed its all part of the master plan to eliminate east pilots by feeding them our crew meals.

The Delta 757 that landed on 9L at FLL and told to expedite runway exit, with an aircraft in position/hold and a AA on a 4 mile final. Expedite doesn't mean take your sweet time rolling slowly ALL the way to the end and turning off. Yes, I realize that's where your gate is, but still. Some people get this whole "when I'm cleared to land, that means the whole runway" mentality stuck in their head. That roaring noise above their heads was the AA that had to go around.
And yes he was taxiing on the runway at taxi speed, it wasn't like it was still in a deceleration state on the runway.

Wish I could have taken a picture of this, but I was driving. I'm assuming it was a Southwest pilot driving in his Accord with a Red River Fighter Pilot Association license plate frame and a metal Southwest logo attached to his car where the original Honda badging should have been. He had to have had it professionally done because it looked like it came from the factory that way.
