So you told the Captain that you were gonna call him the TOTD on this website? And that you thought ATL pilots and your fellow DL pilots deserved to be called DB's because they volunteered to sit in the JS when deadheading? Did you tell the FA's that you thought they were cat ranchers on your way up the jetway?
Nice try..we all got the message from your post. Do us all a favor and change your screen name to NarcF16..then we'll know who we're flying with.
And if you want to call me a tool for sticking up for my fellow delta crew..no worries, i guess im just lucky you said it to my face.
In the meantime..I'll just call you dick.

Yeah, I said hey cap'n, you're going on TOTD because some severely butt-hurt coastie thinks after 7000+ posts in TOTD we are now honor-bound to report to our subject matter that they will highlighted on a web forum that maybe 5% of the flying population reads. I'll get right on that. At least I apologized for my stupidity, looks like you've doubled down on yours.
Seriously man, you've got some major underlying anger issues. Get some help.

Please be forewarned, I have 2 short irony submissions, and I didn't tell either person that I was going to post about them here, my apologies in advance!
I was actually waiting for that very same DH that started the previous flap, when an older woman sat down next to me. I was reading a book but that didn't seem to matter, she wanted to talk. Fine, I'm in uniform and even with my super rebellious orange lanyard I'm always polite and courteous to our paying customers. At first it was small innocent questions but then she got heavily into politics. I did a lot of nodding and grinning and she asks me 'so, you're not allowed to talk about politics?' I smiled and said that's probably not the best idea while on the clock. Unfortunately that cluebug did not phase her at all and she proceeded to explain why her candidate was the best and all the rest were a bunch of idiots, etc, etc (btw, her candidate is an idiot). 20 minutes later and we're about to board and I'm still nodding and grinning and she ends it with 'well, I can't wait to get home, only problem is we've got our granddaughter with us and she just never shuts up'.
My other encounter with irony was at DAL for our 1st flight of the day at 0-dark-thirty out of the shared SWA gate. SWA was late and still sitting at our gate, which means we're now late, but at least I've now got time to stand in the amusement park line at Starbucks! So I'm standing there going nowhere fast and the woman in front of me turns to me and complains about how slow the line is going. It was pretty early so I was able to get away with a nod and a sigh. We finally get to the front of the line and she orders a single beverage that somehow comes out to 9+ bucks and takes longer than any 2 of the people who were in front of us.

Are you sure it wasn't Captain Happy?......
My God, ok, I'll sit in the jumpseat if I want to, ok? There's like other passengers for the seats back there and you didn't tell me which seat to take, so I'll take whichever one I want. I make a mistake every 3 minutes, and my god there's like 1 jumpseat here, but I don't appreciate your attitude.

I disagree with your last part. We debrief each flight and go over any threats, errors, things we could have done better. Each flight is an opportunity to improve. You might not have known you screwed up or are even aware of something you continuously do wrong but if it gets brought up after a regular flight debrief it might save you in a sim check, line check or FAA.
Now doing a debrief or critique on a taxi in is not the right time.

I should have been more specific, I was referring to critiques/criticisms from a jumpseater/deadheading pilot. Unless something unsafe is happening, probably best to just sit there quietly.

LOL, you seriously make me laugh.

You're not commuting to reserve, you're not sitting sideways in a 727, you haven't been furloughed, and your biggest problem is if the captain doesn't take his seat in the back on a DH..hilarious! I really liked the part where you get all butt-hurt when the FA's praise the captain and he has the gall to criticize your landing..during taxi back to the gate, no less! Man, that was hysterical!
And then you run back to APC with your tail between your legs to call all of your fellow DL pilots DB's and ATL guys tools hoping to get a pat on the back on this thread..that was the best therapy a butt-hurt Coastie like me could ever hope for!
Thanks again! Keep up the good work and let us know if you fly with any more tools! Who am I kidding? Of course you will!
I'm feeling better already..CG Out
