Flight of 2 on CTAF
To the 2 guys who left the pattern at an uncontrolled field to fly formation while I'm doing pattern work, but they stayed on CTAF. "Hey Bob, I'm right behind you, about 150 feet high".
Ok guys, now my head is on a swivel - where are you? Finally suggested to them that they switch freqs.

Regardless, it is not worth the public humiliation and loss of your Man Card! Water-boarding and ripping out fingernails would have been preferable to this typr of torture.

I was 2-3 minutes late to my aircraft. CA shut the cockpit door and gave me 5 minute lecture about how our show time was 20 min ago and I need to be there then like the rest of the crew and I'm being too lazy. Note it was 4:45 am.

I wouldn't have stayed around for a five minute lecture. I would have picked my bag up and told him, that I was sure scheduling would be able to get him a new FO in a reletively short time. And yes, I have done that very thing as a new hire FO. Capt chased be down on the ramp as I walked away from the plane and apologized.
