TOTD, the pax sitting next to me (I was JS'ing) who was wearing a t-shirt with cutoff sleeves and armpit hair fanning out in all directions.
Just nasty.

Can you spell reckless and endangerment? Not only the CFI, but Airman certificate needs to be lifted.

Always comforting to know there are people like good old "Martha" out there flying and always placing safety and common sense first. Amazing that the stats and odds have not caught up with her yet. I hope no one else is near if and when they do.

The customer who angrily accused me of lieing about cruising at fl380. I tried to explain we have this newfangled "rvsm" thing installed on our aircraft that allows us to do just that. He didn't buy it

I had that happen once. The guy was mad because he had proof we were only at 8000 ft. Yep, he had one of those mountain hiker watches that also displays altitude. Did not believe us when we tried to explain what the watch was showing was cabin altitude.

Should have just told him to roll down his window next time to see what you're talking about.

…to which I assume this very enlightened guy responded with; “I am up in the sky, not in a cabin in the mountains. So, how could there be any cabin altitude?”

How about the dewshnozzle private pilot who comes up to the flight deck after the flight to inform us he's going to report us to the FAA...

He has the same kind of watch and a GPS device, and he says we were flying at 320 kts at 6500 feet.

Umm, OK, you go talk to the FAA about that.

So you're admitting you used an electronic device below 10,000 feet? Want to share a cab to FAA headquarters?
