Clearly the DAL CA was the tool here for not recognizing the sheer Chuck Norris level of awesomeness that is your buddy. Perhaps a miscommunication occurred as your buddy had a hard time hearing the captain while Kenny Loggins was blasting away in his ear buds. (insert Backpack/Spiked Hair reference joke)

While I agree with everyone regarding the post from YL, here was an incident about 6 years back on a DL 757 out of ATL. There were about 3 or 4 jumpseaters ahead of me and I was the last one to request it. I had ran to get this flight and luckily was able to get on with a seat in the back. I had left my flight kit by the galley behind the first class and usually take my passport, license and medical with me up front. This time I had forgotten that since they were in a hurry to get us boarded. Anyway, I proceed up front behind a World guy and the captain asks me for everything. I tell him that I forgot it in the flight kit and will go back and get it. He decides to follow me out to the galley and hovers over me while I'm taking all the required documentation out. As I hand him all the material, he proceeds to say out loud "Well someone stole a uniform and I wanted to make sure it wasn't you." Needless to say this statement and my brown skin got me a lot of stares from the passengers who had heard it. The flight attendant was watching the whole thing and said that this guy had been hard to deal with the whole trip.

This works all the time, 60% of the time.
Well played to you both. Good stuff.

GoJet captain with huge neon pink sunglasses propped up on top of his head at gate B18 in ORD at 1745 local time on May 1st 2013. He was bragging to everyone in the jetway about how cool his sunglasses were and how jealous we must all be of them. Then he yelled at some passengers for standing in the wrong spot while waiting for their gate checks.

Tool.

Thats funny, because i think i saw his republic airways brother jump seating last week. He had his sunglasses right next to his epaulets. Some how he ended up sitting behind me, I could not help but overhear his conversation to the FA how "I can be a CA on the Q400, but who wants to fly props?"

I like that. I'll have to use it in the future I'm sure.

Right up there with the Republic FO, who was telling people he flew for mainline. I guess the $37 an hour rate doesn't matter.

Guys who say they are "laid back" and then proceed to micromanage the entire flight.
