I always thought it was random until I flew the 757/767 with auto throttles. Then it all made sense. I guess I am a tool for getting the whole "wind check" thing. :D

Now I know where these guys learn how to put their stripes on backwards.

Ha! she thought "The Captain" started off with "Oh, you go to ATP?" because ATP is respected in the industry! I think the same conversation would have happened with:
1. a McDonalds shirt
2. NASA shirt
3. Pedro for President shirt

Question.....why would YOU take liquid through security? And why would SHE even think to allow this? So who's the tool?

Because pilots are allowed to take liquids through security maybe? Just a thought.

It's funny how wound around the axle some pilots get over the wind check thing. I always figured that raised their tool flag pretty high if something that simple makes them upset.

No kidding! I get it and I ask for it every once in awhile since most towers don't give the winds to you any more when they clear you to land. Used to be a standard call on the part of the tower, those days are over. Why wouldn't someone wanna know what the winds are? And why do guys get bent about it? I bet the same guys are the guard Nazi guys.......tools, all of them.
