Yeah, it actually is hard to "triangulate" a VHF transmission without specialized equipment distributed over a wide area. It would require a dedicated FCC task force to enforce. And even so, the margin of error can be miles dues to inference patterns on congested frequencies.

Folks, this thread is a rehash. This guy is the APC forum equivalent of a guard troll.

3. Don't assume it's some RJ pilot. I once rode a legacy JS and the young captain was doing it. "Meow." I wanted to strangle him. Finally the FO told him to please stop.

There are idiots in every Pilot group but you generally don't hear this nonsense:

During redeyes
Over the Ocean
Internationally

Who is not flying in these areas and at night?

The whole thing is a issue of maturity. Younger Pilots are probably the main, but not the only culprits.

It’s not an issue of being laid back. It’s a grow the F$&@ up issue. Guard has a specific purpose. Pilots who do this are compromising safety and spamming the airwaves. Literally thousands of us have to listen to their drivel.

I remember. And if memory serves, it was actually ON Thankgsiving - Instead of making dinner and relaxing with friends and family or something he had nothing better to do than get on here and tell the kids to get off his lawn. Pathetic

I have never used guard in my life. I laugh as yall make it worse by egging on the people who goof around on it. Yes it can get annoying and I have found myself turning down the volume. Lighten up Francis!!!

Over the Atlantic there was always some light banter with guys calling in a position report on Guard or Air/Air. When Delta, UAL, CAL mainline followed AA into the Caribbean and Latin America, there wasn't any of this krap. Only when the EMB's started south did the krap start there although it's still very infrequent and not too bad.

The Northeast is the worst. I've missed more than a few ATC calls due to the little #$%s

Cool, you downloaded a soundboard on your phone. Was that a joke about guard being Delta's ops frequency?... clever.

Grow up.

2StgTurbine,
Pretty much agree. If you can't keep quiet, make it short and damn funny and don't repeat it. Maybe some quick mic clicks as applause.
