So long as they aren't waiting for the van ride to talk on their phone I'm fine with it. Talking face to face is all well and good, it's the cell phone chatter that drives me nuts. Can't you wait 11 minutes to call someone?

If you feel the same have your fellow pilot call your phone when you sit down in the van. Answer it then say loudly "Sorry I can't talk right now. I'm in the hotel van. I'll call you back after I check in."

Works great.

AMEN!

I always make sure that my headphones are at hand for the 4:30am van ride. All you're getting out of me at that time of the morning is "Good morning" and "before start checklist"...

You might be surprised.

Not too long ago, we flew with a couple of girls that really, really enjoy flying with each other, and they had a fascinating conversation about their layover, and the (imaginative) things they did together.

"Pics or it didn't happen", we said.

Turns out it happened.

Alas, it is but a quickly fading memory, one they were kind enough to share for the briefest of moments.

Back to the original thread.....

My Tool of the day is the moron Captain the left the battery switch on all night. The batteries were dead when we showed up the next morning & we got to wait for 5:20 in an over crowded terminal with a mob of ****ed off pax for a new battery.

His only activity that day was to DH back to base, and yes, he was on a GS.

Any pilot at any bar/pub at any point in time anywhere on the planet who breaks out the technical pilot talk in hopes of either scoring or looking cool.

We've all witnessed this...
