Cactus, are you at AA (guess based on your nic)?
Flying with this guy reminds me of the quote from Futurama "he's technically correct, which is the best kind of correct", since the stuff he's saying is indeed in the manuals, but he refuses to admit that there's some room for common sense in how strictly said manuals are followed by the other 99% of pilots here. Hilariously, he got an airplane stuck in the mud at an airport some time ago after blindly following the taxiway centerline, despite the fact that our manuals mention the need for intentionally oversteering to keep the mains on pavement in some situations. |

They attempt make up for it by boning-up on useless legalese from their (frequently outdated) expansive book knowledge. |
By the Cactus Flyer, next time you fly with Captain Fantastic cite the following regarding proper R/T procedures.
Call sign follows the read back of clearances. Note 1.— Air traffic control clearances, instructions and information requiring readback are specified in the Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Rules of the Air and Air Traffic Services (PANS-RAC, Doc 4444). Note 2.— The following example illustrates the application of this procedure: (ATC clearance by network station to an aircraft) Station: TWA NINE SIX THREE MADRID Aircraft: MADRID TWA NINE SIX THREE — GO AHEAD Station: TWA NINE SIX THREE MADRID — ATC CLEARS TWA NINE SIX THREE TO DESCEND TO NINE THOUSAND FEET Aircraft (acknowledging): CLEARED TO DESCEND TO NINE THOUSAND FEET — TWA NINE SIX THREE Station (denoting accuracy of readback): MADRID |
I keep seeing green backpack FO walking around our domiciles. At first I thought maybe he lost his bags, but this is the 4th or 5th I've seen him and I realize how bad it really looks. I'm no uniform stickler, but it reminds of the interview question about TMAT when you had to talk to an FO about uniform compliance.

Common sense, "airmanship", whuzzat? They then inserted that guidance into the FOM. (Since hey, he never had to consider that in a -172!) Idiot. The company knows who he is; I think he's compensating for his grain of rice. I feel your pain; (it goes away in the left seat). ;-) |

Was he single strapping or double strapping? I'm just kidding. I'm just trying to remember what movie this is from. 21st jump street maybe?
Always double strapping it. I forgot to mention he's always looking at his iPhone with earbuds in. I can't wait to fly with him. Then I'll be known as that tool CA who made me get a different bag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
