This is what happens if you don't wear the crotch strap :eek: http://www.datosfreak.org/site_media...mayday2007.png |
The challenger 601 doesn't even have the fifth.

You've got to be kidding me.. people think not using that is a sign of being cool? Unfreakingbelievable.
I'll remove the shoulder straps once we're up and away and usually the "5th" about then. It all comes back on descending through 10,000. That 5th strap is there for a reason. I remember in the Kalitta forced landing down in Bogota, the only guy that got really injured was the FO who didn't use the 5th strap and slid out just like the Comair FO. |

Long sleeve shirts can be a common telltale sign that you are in the vicinity of a tool.
Other signs can be utilizing that "5th" overally, familiar strap of a 5 point seatbelt harness. I mean what type of maneuvers are you expecting to do. It seems to me that looking over at the other guy's crotch to see if he is using the strap is a bit "toolish". |

http://www.uvu.edu/profpages/data/images/10526439.jpg Easy, ladies... he's taken. (complete with the tacky embroidered wings and union lanyard that he scabbed against) "A strikebreaker (sometimes derogatorily called a scab, blackleg, or knobstick) is a person who works despite an ongoing strike. Strikebreakers are usually individuals who are not employed by the company prior to the trade union dispute, but rather hired after or during the strike to keep the organization running. "Strikebreakers" may also refer to workers (union members or not) who cross picket lines to work. Strikebreakers are employed worldwide, often occurring wherever workers go on strike or engage in related actions. However, strikebreakers are used far more frequently in the United States than in any other industrialized country.[1] The Mohawk Valley formula calls for the use of strikebreakers when dealing with striking employees." |

So we can add to the list looking at another dude's sword as being toolish. No pun intended there. |

I also had to sit through several classes where all he did was bombard us with his political dogma and bully us on how we needed to vote in order to "Save America!"
Never have I felt a class was so worthless...and I've had my share of mandatory underwater basket weaving classes. http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploa...-Gladiator.gif I'm so happy this made it on to this thread. To think I had the biggest airline tool as a teacher once.... |

May want to rethink that one since he went up and out.
Regardless, it is definitely an eye opener :eek: for those of us who overly loosen our belts (or even remove them) during climb/cruise. |
