Right on the money!!!

This may be unpopular but....

Anyone who refers to their favourite sports team and uses the word 'we'. Sorry, if you're not scoring points, or fronting up to training everyday, you're not part of the team. No, all that tuition $$ your parents paid doesn't matter. You're a fan, not a team member.

TOOL!

I find it odd when couples say "we're" pregnant. "We" are not pregnant, SHE is pregnant. WE are going to be parents. Last I checked i was a dude, and I'm not equppied to pass a slimy watermelon out of any orifice a few months down the road.

My roommates played football at Auburn, one of them brought that very point up about other students in class following a last second win over Bama. :D Where is Satchip? Anyways, so I've always been aware not to say "we" but it's also fine to say "we" in the context of a conversation otherwise you have to keep clarifying who you are talking about. Not to mention there are indeed times it is a "we". If it's not then why play in front of a crowd?

So I think that you're overreaching with the tool classification.

Guys who wear their little outdoorsy caps on all layovers. I guess I'll do some hiking/camping/hunting/fishing while in Manhattan tonight..

For the record, a Bucking Bar is a simpler tool than a Wedge. With the Bucking Bar, you don't need to figure out the pointy edge. Any side will do.

Bucking Bar, a long, hard, resilient, tool. What every man needs.

All right,this is going to tick a lot of my fellow pilots off, because I've seen a lot of you doing it...

I often judge the quality of a layover hotel by the places you can run and the gym facilities. It's my sanctuary after a 4 leg Maddog day. I'm tired of seeing pilots who bring their phones into the gym. You are a tool if you stop in the middle of your elliptical workout to return a text or sit on the bench that I'm waiting for while you run through your email. You're either working out or you're playing with your phone....you can't do both. Can't you stand to be apart from it for 30 minutes? And don't even get me started about the morons who hold a phone conversation in the hotel gym at the top of their lungs....that moves them straight out of tooldom into the realm of douchebaggery. I actually saw one guy walk into the gym, answer the phone and have an animated conversation for 20 minutes, and then walk out again. Must of been a heck of a workout.

Got a mouse in your pocket?

Ask one of your First Officers how many jobs he has. The answer might justify their need for multitasking. Who thought we'd see 12 year pay in the right seat of an MD88?

Not that I've ever run into a telephone pole while trying to read a text while jogging. If anyone saw that in Sacramento, it wasn't me and you can't prove it.

But generally, I agree with your post. Promise to quit one of my three jobs when I can save for retirement, put the kids through college and make a small margin above what my wife is able to spend.

Some of us wear prescription sunglasses, & can't make the switch before we walk off the airplane. I need at least a 5 minute window. :)
