To the ExpressJet pilot going into IAH this evening who, when the tower said, "Acey ****, for the third time, slow to slowest practical airspeed!" Responded with:
"Uhhh.. second time!"

Glad that you know precisely how many times you've failed to comply with a restriction.

Yes, he sounds like a tool. But more importantly, the pay gap is fiction. If women really were 70-80 cents on the dollar to men, every corporation would be knocking down doors to hire as many females as possible. It's a solution in search of a problem, IMO.

Reeeallly? So that 737 ahead is doing 80 knots? Or is it possible your radar hasn't updated yet from your last request that I come falling out of the sky from 7000 feet?

The Harmonica thing is kinda funny. But in a typical AirTran style schedule of 4-5 flights/day on a 4 day trip would get real old real quick.

I didn't look up the Star Wars tool but I figured as much. Based on his age and that it was an AirTran flight, an obvious assumption is EAL scab via the critter.

Good catch!

AirTran actually didn't have that many scabs especially by the end. Of the 1735 pilots on property when SWA showed up, I'd guess we had about 30-50 scabs left, but yes...these two are part of that number. They're both since retired.
