These aren't hard, fast rules guys. Just mild, sometimes inaccurate generalizations.

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

Never have I felt a class was so worthless...and I've had my share of mandatory underwater basket weaving classes.

I may have been in some of your classes. I experienced the same thing with "Captain Green" and he is such and arrogant tool.
I'm so happy this made it on to this thread.
To think I had the biggest airline tool as a teacher once....

I do not believe there was a "fifth" strap installed on the BAC 1-11 in 1990. But I'd have to believe if there was one, and it was used, he might have had a better chance of remaining inside the aircraft, no?

Regardless, it is definitely an eye opener for those of us who overly loosen our belts (or even remove them) during climb/cruise.

I'd say any male pilot critiquing the otherwise appropriate attire of another pilot is a tool. Leave that behavior to the 14 year old girls.

To the Skywest CA holding court at the LAX In n Out yesterday for 45 minutes (food was in his hand the entire time), I give you a greasy animal style salute.

Captain in the e-mail address. I wonder if he makes his students call him Captain. Can we say Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

Sure Tripson and McCoy were King and Queen scabs, but I think this guy falls in a very close 2nd.

"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."
A SCAB is A Person Who is Doing What You’d be Doing if You Weren’t on Strike.
A SCAB takes your job, a Job he could not get under normal circumstances. He can only advance himself by taking advantage of labor disputes and
walking over the backs of workers trying to maintain decent wages and working conditions. He helps management to destroy his and your profession,
often ending up under conditions he/she wouldn't even have scabbed for. No matter. A SCAB doesn't think long term, nor does he think of anything other
then himself. His smile shows fangs that drip with your blood, for he willingly destroys families, lives, careers, opportunities and professions at the drop of
a hat. He takes from a striker what he knows he could never earn by his own merit: a decent Job. He steals that which others earned at the bargaining
table through blood, sweat and tears, and throws it away in an instant - ruining lives, jobs and careers.
ONCE A SCAB, ALWAYS A SCAB - NEVER FORGET!

Gotta highlight all those VORs for your route on a chart that you'll eventually use for a different route.
