I'm pretty sure it's the coffee.....

They're getting older and selfies fill the emotional void created by the lack of participation trophy's handed out for just showing up to work.

Probably doesn't have many friends (at work, anyway) and this is his way of dealing with it. Oh, he probably needs to get laid, too! :p

Aww, I missed it. It's "private" now...

I missed it too. Please post description!

Yeah, that captainaux is just kind of cheesy fun aimed at 10-18 year olds who like planes (and kissing too) and don't know what goes on up front. I'm not sure why anybody would hate it. It is definitely not my style, but whatever.

Today's tool - the fools that say "BLOOOCKED" in a funny voice right after a stepped on transmit. Yeah sometimes center or approach gets crowded but also keep in mind a "blocked" transmission may have still been receivable by ATC from the nearer transmission station, or the craft receiving, even though it was more balanced interference to you. A third party always piping up "blocked" just makes things worse and sometimes itself blocks the response to one of the transmitters. This is rampant and seems to get worse in crowded areas. :rolleyes:

Yes, and the majority of the time it also helps controllers know that their transmission was in fact blocked. At least that's the way it seems to work on the high altitude sectors. Maybe it's different down there where you spend your time, Doc. :rolleyes:

Hey come on. For once cardiomd wrote about something he has some actually experience with. I would like him to continue that trend, so I will offer positive reinforcement. cariomd: good job :) (you even get bonus points for not mentioning how proficient you are at flying your 182)

Have you asked a center controller if it really helps? In reality there is more going on then just you and the frequency you are on. Majority is a little strong....

I say BLOOOCKED all the time. Works great both at home and the office.
