It was busy tonight, especially with weather in the northeast. Washington was just telling everyone to keep IDENT'ing and she'd get to them. She was also saying, "Whoever is complaining about the rides, there's chop everywhere. Too bad."

That's not tool-ish. That's efficient.

You know it is bad when the whole comments section of nonpilots calls the author a complete tool.

All water is capable of being put into a pot. But only some water is actually potable.

I just wanna axe you one thing. Life's tough huh?

The tool who writes for a flying magazine I subscribe to that spends three paragraphs denigrating his flying FO in print and then just to show his true colors beats on the relief FO in a later paragraph.
Must be a joy to fly a trip with that ego.

I remember my dad teaching my that word when I was a little kid; always stuck with me. At my first airline indoc class the instructor uses POT-able and I thought to myself, "man what a numbskull.." After a while I noticed everyone at the company saying it that way. Maybe its company culture. Next company indoc same thing

Couple years later I'm on furlough and I'm taking a class for certification in water treatment. The word comes up on the power point and I think to myself now if anyone knows how to say potable it will be the guys who make the stuff... Wrong!! After that I gave up caring
