During pink month, I flew with a guy who constantly and ardently tried convince me that cancer was an epidemic caused by poor habits. Little did he know that I had just lost my own grandfather and that my father had been diagnosed two days before.
Hints didn't work, it became a quiet four-day... |
Those that use their call sign in the plural, Deltas XXXX or Continentals XXXX. What are you? A flight of 2? :rolleyes:
|
Maybe possession/possessive. ESL challenged are we?

Tell you about a challenging situation, and how I handled it? Yes, Sir! |

What about the guy who talks singularly on the radio as if he's flying a Cessna. "I" want to climb to 350, "I" want to deviate 15 right. TOOL! Wouldn't a crew aircraft be "we"?
I can remember back in the eighties flying with a butt hole on the DC-9 when the controller asked how our ride was, he put his paper down, looked over his reading glasses and told me to tell him its smooth. Thanks for the instruction captain, I could have never figured that one out. BIG TOOL! |

when was the last time you heard the flight lead check in with a plural call sign? :confused:
I wasn't implying this is something that a flight lead does, but I can see how it an be interpreted that way. BTW, have you filled out your Alaska app yet? :D |

since it's happened a lot on this recent 4 day -
anyone who makes their call sign plural (e.g. Delta --> Delta's, and sadly I've heard "acey's"). And an ATC nomination for that really surly guy works ATL ground/tower. I am pretty sure they mean Delta's not Deltas. Since they belong to Delta Air Lines. Just my guess. Ex. The boy's basketball. |
