Wife and I going on vacation this week...Air Wisky Capt giving his welcome aboard speech...

"I'm so and so, and up here with me is Co-Captain so and so..."

Alright, cool guy to fly with sounds like.

Then he says:

"Welcome aboard this Canadair Whisperjet."

No. No sir. There is one "Whisperjet".

Eh? What did you say? Oh, Whisperjet! Sorry, I flew 727s and can't hear much since then. :p

Whisper?!? Ha! Withit loping cruise speed of .875, I affectionately dubbed the jet they"Happy Hour Express".

The wonderful 727, where a 1,000 hours meant 800 hours of climb, 100 hours of cruise and 100 hours of descent and landing.

Deafening, really

GF

Gloopy....you, sir, are awesome....

(Phones been ringing off the hook.....)

it took me a while to catch up on these....

The BAe-146's that Air Wisconsin used to fly were nicknamed the "whisperjet" due to their quiet engines. Maybe he's an old 146 driver. Still doesn't make any sense referring to a CRJ as that however...

This^^^ The bus radios are a special kind of evil. :p

The -219s glued to the sides with the -17 in the center cut 800 hours of climb to about 200:D. On ferry flights with cookie sheets as ballast, climb rates would astound ATC. They always asked to confirm type. I told them we were a 727 with afterburner.

Wasn't that jet powered by 4 APUs, excluding the one used on the ground?:D

4 APUs and a hair dryer!

BAe...Bring Another Engine

It probably hasn't been mentioned for at least a hundred pages, so-

How about the Captain that lines all the Flight Attendants up in a 100 degree jetway, and conducts a briefing that verges on a mini-recurrent course?

"All exits means ALL EXITS, including the tailcone . . . . The Manual is clear about the use of personal cell phones . . . . .If I ask for a beverage, I want it in an un-opened can".

Hmmm . . . wonder why that last part has become necessary? :eek:

Even louder when ferrying IAH to DFW with the windows open.

Good times, good times.

Did General Lee change jobs and message boards simultaneously??

Spotted in CLT today. US Airways F/O (not a west guy) with his FFDO bag strapped to his back like a backpack. Dork look.

Also, the East captain that would not say "Hi" to me at Jamba Juice. I guess I wasn't in the cool kids club for him to deign to talk to. I'm over it now, although I did have to wipe a few tears away. Sniff.

Can't wait for the three-way merge, lots of tool combos then.

I fly with a guy who has Bose headsets, he keeps the bubble wrap around the control module. Why buy sonething if you're afraid to get it dirty?

It's a "push-to-talk", not a "push-to-think".

Hey Cactusmike, I apologize for the juvenile behavior of some of the East pilots. I jumpseat on West metal frequently and you guys treat me well, and feed me too :-) Thanks

BAE
 

Why does it have 4 engines?????
....Because they couldn't fit 4 more on the wing!!!:D

I'm glad you are treated well. Believe me, I know we have some tools on our side.

Actually, if you getting fed its all part of the master plan to eliminate east pilots by feeding them our crew meals. :D

The Delta 757 that landed on 9L at FLL and told to expedite runway exit, with an aircraft in position/hold and a AA on a 4 mile final. Expedite doesn't mean take your sweet time rolling slowly ALL the way to the end and turning off. Yes, I realize that's where your gate is, but still. Some people get this whole "when I'm cleared to land, that means the whole runway" mentality stuck in their head. That roaring noise above their heads was the AA that had to go around.

And yes he was taxiing on the runway at taxi speed, it wasn't like it was still in a deceleration state on the runway.

Wish I could have taken a picture of this, but I was driving. I'm assuming it was a Southwest pilot driving in his Accord with a Red River Fighter Pilot Association license plate frame and a metal Southwest logo attached to his car where the original Honda badging should have been. He had to have had it professionally done because it looked like it came from the factory that way.

Hi, my name is Herman and I'm a long-time listener, 1st time caller. Here's to the erA... full Bird Colonel that showed me pictures of his naked chest (a'la Anthony Wienner) in the workout room. Actually said..."see my guns Herman, I can still bring it!" He not only wanted to know why it's so hard to find a woman on E-Harmony, he simply could not understand why I "slam clicked" instead of "grabbing a glass of wine". What a long 2 day! Please pm instructions on the no-fly process...another 1st for me. AND CENTER....cheers h

Herman,
Were you slightly aroused?

Herman,
At least he didn't take his pants off...

Cheers to the now FAA inspector who was an F/O on a 767, and got caught 3 years ago by the Captain masturbating enroute to Hawaii... We call him "sticky fingers" ...

Was the Captain female? How about the FO?

Both males.

Well I guess that's one way to join the mile high club.

Or

Gives shiny jet syndrome a whole new meaning.

(Okay I'm done now)

What FSDO does he work for?

Just having sex with his favorite person, I would imagine. ;)

By yourself doesn't count.

Extra mileage pay for the AA crew:D

Maybe the Delta Capt was former Braniff or had a parent that was. Comes around goes around.

The guy sitting on the plane behind me who divulged his entire medical history for all to hear. This included the high white blood cell count due to the many cysts, one in particular that was painful because there was so much pus. Then there were farts. Perhaps the most disgusting person I have ever seen

Sounds like a NYC DAL Capt I know....:cool:

I tried to be a beer buddy to some older guys in my neighborhood, but it became too depressing due to the non-stop bad health talk.

I'm trying to create an area in my brain that will prevent me from doing that when I get that old. Like a mental alarm clock. "Don't B & M about your health; it's boring, gross, and nobody cares."

Oh come on now, it's not all that bad.
Make it a game and try to one-up them like I do.

You had an oversized cyst that was filled with pus, well I'm still waiting from my right testicle to drop.....Checkmate!
