"Hey, are you flightcrew?... Who do you work for?..."
TOTD:"I fly for "Delta". I fly jets" My lead FA tore into him, (bless her black heart, her hubby flies too), "Oh yeah, what type? CRJ, ERJ, Embraers, what?"
TOTD: "All of them." (Smirk.) "I even let a flight attendant do a landing once." FA: "Bull****! I won't even land the plane if I'm flying in a -172."
He was making a play for one of the other girls. They were ok, they knew how to handle this douche.
It was amazing, (appalling). The frozen permanent smirk. The perma-tan. The *********g ducktail hairdoo. (I hate those.) It was straight back to 1986 and "Top Gun". It was the Iceman. He walks the earth again. I wanted to wring his neck for the damage his stereotype does to our profession. The girls just laughed at him. I just wondered how in the hell he got hired; I'm sure his apps are out all over. The pool for the regionals must be pretty well drained dry.
It was so cliché it was unbelieveable.
Ok, rant over.

I eat there when I'm in town for AQP, and I just want to go in, get my pulled pork sandwich and a Manhattan at happy hour, and relax after a day in the sim...and not have clown walking around making our profession look bad. And given who dines there as well, I'm sure the day will come where his face won't come with a positive association...

The straight from flight instructing types will never know how much aviation knowledge, experience, and skills they missed out on by skipping this step because they'll never have it. It can't be earned in a two pilot 121 cockpit.

(edit: it looks like Atlas 767). I know a few pilots and FAs over there.)

One of our FA's reported back that the next morning Iceman and his wingman were downstairs for breakfast at the Coast in their OO uniforms. They were for real, (losers).
Our FA's had left them the night before almost on our heels, giving up on the whole Top-Gun experience before they had had a chance to sample it individually. (Ick!!!)

I would like to nominate the drunk AA CA on my flight non-reving to SAN last week. He patted one of my FA's on the ass, handed her his non-official business card that said AA on it and told her that he has a boat and wealthy friends and for the FA's to call him if they want to party.
Guess I can't blame him for trying.
