I like your blog, it's interesting to read. Most pilot blogs are lame because the guy writing them tries to make it seem all dangerous and dramatic (like that jet head guy or whatever.) I also like that you cover the travel aspect. Anyway, I say not a tool.. Keep up the good work!

Their is a word for that. 'Chicano car wash'

At a quick glance, I like his taste. None of the god pilot stuff, just enjoying the journey and sights!

A whole page of posts about how not toolish someone is. What happened to this thread?

We'll see if he posts a fear-laden post about how DCA the most scariest, most dangerous, most awful place in the universe and every pilot should poop his pants if he even utters the letters and how on every flight the most important thing is fuel....stating that fuel needs to be checked, rechecked, more added, rechecked again, add more, bump non-revs, jumpseaters, revenue, rechecked some more, more added and then rechecked a final time and then still worry about it the whole flight. Until then, his stuff looks ok to me.

Okay, thanks for deciding I'm not a tool! Since I haven't posted in two years on this forum, how about this: My wife has a female friend in Australia who's husband cheated on her (they have a newborn boy) and now he wants to just be friends while he brings home other women to the house. Forget raising the kid. His poor wife is devastated and she doesn't have the nerve to tell his or her parents, or to dump his ass. So, he continues to to go on like nothing ever happened, all while telling her that he doesn't love her anymore.

If I only had 5 minutes with that guy...

Now that guy IS a tool. On a side note, we spent an extra 10 minutes running our performance numbers in LAS yesterday for our flight to BUR and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't give us any takeoff numbers. We finally found out - 3 knots of tailwind on runway 8 in BUR. Three knots!!

I like your blog, blue! Good work!

Your wife's friend is a moron.

And the dude is definitely a tool.

Is she hot?

She's okay.

A FedEx captain told me quite the stories about Australian women...

Actually, I didn't say either way.

I had a quick glance at your blog and was curious as to what others on this thread thought, since some of them may have put more time into reading your blog and therefore would have had more developed opinions than mine.

I still don't have an opinion either way; but you have to admit, there are SOME pilot blogs that are not much more than long, droning tomes full of "look how cool I am" stuff. Those blogs aren't about disseminating information - they are pedestals for tools to grandstand themselves. Good for you if yours isn't one of them.

By the way...your pictures are excellent.

Very true. Mines more about photos taken on the road and experiences in new places. I could care less about the flying thing. There are some incredible things to see in this world. Except Fresno. :D

Blue

People that don't know the difference between their, they're, and there.

Their is no reason you need to flip out over they're on your computer.

Fixed it for ya :D

Zing! If you can't spell does that make you a looser?

It's a start.

You guys are to funny.

Yes. Yes, it does. :p

Their's a part of me that thinks your to gullible.

Pffft......Irregardless,for all intensive purposes,there point is mute.To funny...

The captain I flew with earlier this week, who decided to save himself a few minuts when he gets to the hotel by brushing his teeth in flight. in the cockpit. We were on a CDO, but Christ, really?

What a dirtbag! CDO.Stand-up.Highspeed whatever you call them those crews get real weird real fast.

Or the guy who decides to finished getting dressed on the way to the airport (i.e. tie, epaulettes, wings), and coincidentally enough ends up forget his company id on one day and his cell phone on another day. Both times the hotel shuttle had to come back and get him.

No worries champ, I'll get the walkaround, interior, and load the box for ya. :rolleyes:

On the other end of that spectrum, we were on a 28-hr. West Coast layover many years ago.

During sign-in at the hotel, when the captain announced what the van time would be the next afternoon, one of the F/A's began whining about why we had to leave the hotel so early, and couldn't we leave 20 minutes later?

On a 28-hr. layover.

Ok, fine: conquestdz.:)

Actually, you're ALL a bunch of tools on this thread, checking religiously to see if anyone else is more of a tool than you. You all think you're Snow White, but you're actually the evil stepmother: "...tool thread, APC tool thread on the web, who is the least toolish of them all?"

Of course, you may be tools, but you're my favorite bunch of tools.

And me, I'm just here as the one and only neutral observer, of course.

Happy Holidays, tools!

NASA for allowing themselves to get sucked into that Mayan Apocalypse prediction nonsense by producing a video.
Hate to slam them but have they nothing else better to do with taxpayer money ?
I guess a lot of people forgot about the bust that was Y2K .

Actually, no... they probably don't since the space program is being systematically dismantled.

NASA should have used the money to create better adult diapers jealous spouses who enjoy those long distance drives.

Dude, I can't believe you were such a tool that you bothered "Biff" to the point that he had to give you one of his cards... :)

Without this thread how would I know if I am being a tool or not?:confused:

I like to think of this thread as spreading tool-awareness.

I just like to think of this thread.

Comes in so handy, to visualize it when you're flying with a guy that's all bent out of shape because they just ran out of cognac in the back. Or if I reach into my bag for my Spiderman toothbrush and Colgate Total (for a total tool).

It also spreads tool-self-awareness, in that case.

What, No cognac in the back :eek: well at least they still have breadsticks.

Showed up to the jet yesterday. Just missed the crew. The captain left his O2 mask out, a half full water bottle on the floor where my crew bag goes, and a full trash bag overflowing with coffee cups. Nice! Thanks tool, I'll clean up after you.

Thats always a nice touch, having to clean up some ones mess. My favorite is the bottles of chew spit.

JFK must be rolling around in his grave .
