This epic thread must... not... die.
My TOTD goes to the FA who thought she'd sneak into the cockpit's crew bunk area and steal a couple of the plastic-wrapped blanket/pillow combos. When busted in the act - "You guys always have extras, and they never have enough for us."

And what can you say when each guy has 15,000 hours? "Uh, we're all really, really experienced..."

Definitely, especially when they stress military time, and I am ex-mil myself. It implies special skills that are N/A anyhow, it's not like the aircraft is going into combat.

In over thirty years of flying for a paycheck, it seems to me that there is a disproportionately high number of pathological liars in commercial aviation. Is this my just my imagination? By the way, in order to be relevant to this thread, they were pretty much all tools.

Yep. I plumbed on the L1011 for a few years and flew often with a Captain who would rather swallow razor blades than tell the truth. The crazy thing was that he was as rich as Midas. Owned a company that leased surplus military equipment to movie makers. Came from a rich Memphis family who owned car dealerships, a nationally branded family company (he was on the BOD), and apparently 1/2 of West TN. And he had quite an amazing flying background that needed no embellishment (F104's, F84s).
Yet, he lied about everything. I listened to the same stories change every month and eventually I came to the conclusion that everyone had - he didn't really know what the truth was anymore. Sad tool.

Speaking of guys who talk about their qualifications, we have an FO who is a retired Navy Captain. Before a flight he walks through first class introducing himself to the passengers as Captain so and so. Tool.

Announcing your flying hours/history may be tool-ish, BUT I'm willing to bet customers would rather hear that than, "I'm Captain xxxxx who's got 40 hours on this bird, am still on IOE which, btw is being conducted under the tutelage of Captain xxxxxxx, who's doing his first ever IOE.....
