Anyone who picks up open time when your company has furloughed pilots.

The pilot whose first word is "and" during every radio transmission. "Aaaaaaaand Nxxx level 230."

TOTD is the pax in front of you while your commuting to/from work, who after takeoff violently forces their seat to recline in an anything but smooth way, and impacts your knees, laptop, etc.

For that offense, I punished anyone within a 20-foot radius once cabin altitude forced the toxins from waste duct.

It gets better though. He mentioned that he was going to "allow" FO Joe to fly this leg and what an outstanding co-pilot he is and how someday when he earns enough time, he to will be a compass capt. So, to you Bob I award you the tool of the day award. Who's next?

D. Vodjansky by chance?

There's a guy at Denver Center who always does it, which got Lakers doing it, and we've been training the other controllers to say it. The infection continues to spread.

What about "Boston John" ? "Hasta la veeeesta! MOCHAHAGADI ! "
P.S.-calling clearance and saying "Pan Global 123,instruments to Scranton.."=tool.

Haha, Had to think about that one for a second or two! Then again, some men actually like women with curves. Not every male is into the "14 year old boy" look.......:p

Only a tool if they are under 50. I can remember having to build a fire under some radios to warm up the tubes enough:p

Back when most companies had the inflight magazines, what I would do is as soon as I got in the seat, I would roll up a couple of magazines tightly and stick them vertically in the seat pocket. That effectively eliminates their ability to recline the seat.
