It's amazing to me how quick some of these Guard tools/police respond when someone accidentally transmits on guard. It's like they are waiting, ready to pounce on the first guy that transmits by mistake.

Unless someone is having a conversation on guard, let them be, they will figure it out. It's like they HAVE to point out someone's mistake.

COMPLETE TOOLS!

I just bark at em after they throw their little fit. TA always riles them up. :D

Yes, and some Captains make like it's a major infraction for not flipping the switch! Hey, I'm not the DB driving with an expired inspection sticker. God forbid should you transmit on company, 30 lashes for that.

Common Nazis are huge tools as well.

I'm just convinced that there are captains flying transcons in 757s with their finger over the Comm 2 button for hours just waiting/hoping someone will mess up.

They have to be with the alarming speed with which they respond. Whenever I hear some crusty, gravelly voice snarl "You're on guard" I always respond "So are you.":rolleyes:

The captain on my last trip who took both the takeoff and landing on our legs even though I was to expire in 8 days.......

I have heard every excuse under the sun on the widebody: I have vacation next month...I may call in sick next month...but the best is " I may be selected for jury duty in the next few months so I need to front load my landings" pure BS!

Then he starts talking to you as if he isn't walking around with his b@lls hanging out.


That is just not the image I wanted in my mind on a Sunday evening.

Ewwww!

Enjoyed a couple of time-building tools (cargo cessna caravans) off the East Coast a few months back having an amazingly long conversation on 123.45 about everything from groundspeed to dating,ect,ect ,ect then one of them casually said "man, I hope nobody else uses this freq"...it was too tempting to respond that nobody uses it except for every aircraft on the oceanic common!:eek:

You would be spending every free moment saying that if you flew in Asia, guard is the new 2345 out there:D
