Yeah....we asked that question. Nobody touched the plane all night. It was an Int'l flight that had been secured after arrival. When the ground crew got to it the next morning, the battery was dead.

Truth. I was in ERI with an Air Wis crew when I was at 9E. We were pulling away from the airport and I looked back at our plane and noticed the emergency lights on. I thought that somehow I had screwed up the power down checklist and immediately asked for a return which of course resulted in the ultimate scorn from the other crew.

It turned out the local rampers had figured out they could light up the cabin with the emergency lights. They got a talking to....

Yep. This ^^^^^^^^^^.

Sounds more like a mistake than toolish behavior. A tool typically involves some selfish motive or narcissism.

Seriously give the guy a break, I mean who amongst us hasn't occasionally had to rough up an 8 month old?

My personal rule is to stop roughing them up sometime in the third trimester.

We've all witnessed this...

Just remember, both Wilbur and Orville died as single, lonely men. :eek:

Seriously though, being a pilot is actually really "cool" in doctor circles though, just as people think being a doctor is quite interesting at various FBOs. I'd love to hear about pro pilot adventures at a bar, but I'm a geeky married dude. That's the only type of person you'll "pick up."
