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.

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!

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?

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.
