I'd like to nominate the passenger on my mostly empty commute. We've been on the ground all of 3 minutes and had stopped, waiting to cross a runway when our offender pops up into the aisle and begins collecting his bags from the overhead. The FA gets on the PA and politely reminds everyone that we are not at the gate and that the seat belt sign is still on. The offending moron then sits back down but leaves his 2 rollaboards sitting in the aisle. Again, the FA tells him over the PA that he can't leave his bags in the aisle, he needs to move them onto an empty seat. Our hero then decides the best course of action is to argue with the FA via shouting and fuming. To her credit, the FA kept her cool and said something to the effect of "Sir, I'm sorry you feel stupid for not knowing or caring about the rules, but they are not only for your safety but also the safety of your fellow passengers. Thank you!" That got more than a few claps and chuckles and has my vote for Cool of the Day!:cool:

Congrats, though. You saved 30 minutes of your life by not taking your confirmed seat and cost another guy any hope of getting to his destination tonight.

Bravo HOS/D, 18-year SkyWest captain. You are nominated for TOTD.

Sounds like he is worse than the 88 guys in ATL at my company as far as respecting others in this industry. No surprise he went to Riddle. I look forward to him asking for my jumpseat between SFO and SLC one day as I frequent that route in my trips. I wont deny him because I don't believe in that, but he will get a lecture the entire way about being an a__hat.

Thus, why we wander off into other areas in the TOTD thread. :p

Hey that is the best I have. I suppose that is a good thing...

Ok, maybe not really tool material, but it drove me nuts. During the route check, the Captain that can not pronounce ANY five letter waypoint correctly...

Point: TOMUD

Captain: "TAMID"
Me: "Is that TOMUD?"
Captain: "Yeah"
Me: "Check"

I'm thinking that's not a big deal, it was close... then:

BIGRO
Captain: "BAGRID"
Me: What the??? "BIGRO? Check"

ALEKI
C: "ALEXIS"
Me: Sure... what the heck "Check"

NIKUK
"NOKUD"
"Check"

UVUNO
"UVILL"
"Check"

ADBAG
"ADGOG"
(Holy crap... that's not even close! Are we going to the same place?")
"Check"

And it went like that for about 10 pages worth...

You're being insubordinate and churlish like all the FOs in this classroom.

Old geezer is probably half blind and can't parse the letters. The stone deaf ones are fun too. Ok, I'll be PM when you're flying and I'll be PM and PF when I'm flying.
