Did this show up in you guys YouTube recommended feed within the last week. I saw it last week and was thinking the exact same thing as all the previous posts. What a tool!

Looks like being professional means wearing Bluetooth ear buds wherever you go.

Is that what those are? I thought they were tampons he'd stuffed in his ears because he couldn't find earplugs.

To be fair, the AirPods actually offer great mic quality. I can only assume he wore them for the mic pickup for his video.

I nominate the Sky West hero in LA today. We were taxiing on E for runway 24L. I see a Mormon Air Force "9" approaching with haste on the perpendicular taxiway. Now anyone that has a North route clearance at LAX knows that they are supposed to hold short of taxiway D without further clearance. Well Captain America proceeded to blow right through it. My usual "clear right" dared not leave my tongue. I looked left to my skipper and shouted "he's not stopping", eyes wide with fear. My skipper applies the brakes with enough force to even jostle the most seasoned of cat wranglers. We look at each other in bewilderment as the two Sky Gods pass without slowing. The normal LAX chatter is broken with a condescending "really guys..." from the mighty "9" skipper. Another look of bewilderment was shared between me and my left seat companion. Did that really just happen? Did this regional "mainline" crew almost cause a collision and try to blame it on us? Surely this couldn't be so. After a moment of shock, I snapped out of it. I realized that, alas, it was a Sky West crew and this was a reality. We throttled up and I continued my before takeoff check list, my peripherals still on high alert for any sneaky Canadian regional jets that may be lurking.
