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.

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?

Where is the Standardization from the NTSB?

One Level of Safety and all that...

 

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

 

I forgot to mention my tool of the day. Award goes to the dirtbag sitting behind me non-revving from dca to clt the other day. We divert to Raleigh for Tstorms and he's "F this and F that". Real classy.
Land in CLT, after listening to more swearing about how he was wronged and how much Airways sucks, and he actually stands up and starts yelling and hollering at the people seated in rows before him to get out of the way he has a flight to catch. Amusingly, some elderly women in front of him told him to shut his piehole and wait his turn. I'd love to meet the fine employee who lets a dbag like that travel for free representing them.

 

For the same reason that they believe an airplane will roll inverted and pull itself into the ground because someone has an iPod turned on in the back.

Common sense left town about 15 years ago. Wasn't there an obituary for him (or her, that's for LNL76) in another thread?

 

The Delta pilot at the Atlanta Passport Office this morning who wore his Delta ID around his neck for the entire time he was there (which, like me, was a while). You in the light blue polo style shirt---you know who you are.

 

Was he wearing his hat?
