Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

When someone barks on guard, every once in a while, I respond with "so are you".

I met an E Riddle tool last night. He's a passenger who comes to the cockpit as I'm waiting to run a Secure Checklist at the end of my work day. He asks to see the 717 and identifies himself as a Riddle student. No problem. Then he drops the F bomb half a dozen times as he proceeds to tell me how crazy and unfair the new 1000 hr 121 rules are. He tells me he is thinking of going to another profession because these rules are so effing stupid. I smile and wish him luck while think what a fine example of the Riddle product.

If you had a TA in a non radar environment and were discussing the event with the other aircraft on guard and somebody jumped in "You're On Guard" that somebody is the Tool of the Day.
" We just had a near miss, shut the ****** up, we are discussing this".
Kudos to the Gulf Air pilot who told off the guard nazi over the Indian Ocean.

Yeah, a couple months ago an American Eagle flight was intentionally broadcasting on guard, and somebody jumped in to say, "You're on Guaaaaard!!!". Suffice it to say the Eagle pilot *informed* the guard Nazi he was aware what frequency he was using.

I also heard an aircraft get intercepted for busting a TFR over JFK a few months back.

The Delta Captain at B-23 in ATL who just now gave a full briefing to the passengers in the gate house detailing the proper way to most
efficiently board the aircraft. Special props for the line, "It only takes a few bad passengers to ruin the entire boarding process."

Congratulations sir.

Micromanagement at its finest.

Whats a gate house? SD says he wants more interaction!

That shrink sure is doing his job. :p

Unreal.

It's the place where all the people stand, huddled up against each other, passive-aggressively determined to be first on the airplane or die trying. I don't know what it's really called. I'm permanently renaming B-23 either the Tool Shed or D'Bag Emporium though. Haven't decided which.
