How do guys know that much about each other? Fight time, really? Do you swap resumes at the start of each pairing or something? I can't think of a time I have ever asked a guy on my flight deck how many hours he/she has.

Who's going to be the first guy to introduce himself to the pax as Captain Sum Ting Wong?

Agreed. I don't chase airplanes and I don't fly hungry.

The classy female pax who dropped the f-bomb at the ticket counter.

How about the female LGA ground controller that constantly says tuck it up?! Maybe she can get Jeppesen to put a note on 10-9 "when departing 31, be sure to Tuck It Up on B"

I like ... Hun Far Lo

Oh? I thought it was a reference to the Crying Game.

She goes bananas when the pax start hitting the lavs during a 45 minute taxi and the space between planes opens up.

This comment reminds me of something I've never understood, re. pax up while taxiing. What is the big deal?

Is this "All pax must stay seated because we are on an active taxiway..." nonsense an FAA, or NTSB thing? Or just a company thing, or a Flight Attendant thing?

After we get off the airplane, we can get on a Greyhound bus, not wear our seatbelt, and even get up to go pee, all while whistling down I95 at 70mph, in traffic, no seatbelts required.

But you must remain seated when on an airplane which might be moving on a taxiway, at the break neck speed of...11 knots. :eek:

I realize "Common Sense" has never been a requirement of riding in the back of a bus, or an airplane, but why is there no Buss Attendant on Greyhound, to walk down the aisle and tell us how to operate a seatbelt, prior to pushback, and to scream at us to be seated, when we really, really, have to pee? :D

Where is the Standardization from the NTSB?

One Level of Safety and all that...:rolleyes:

Don't fret Timbo, they're making it more and more like Greyhound daily. Starting with pay first of course.
