Stop this stupid ass crap.
It’s damaging to the image of the entire profession. We try to market ourselves as people who work long and hard to get into this career, and we want important groups (investors, politicians, passengers, the media) to see us as professionals who deserve fair treatment and decent compensation.....
Yet, we tolerate guard games.
I don’t expect that anyone stupid enough to meow all over an emergency frequency will one day wake up normal.... BUT there are at least two people in every 121 cockpit. Whomever sits next to these idiots needs to say something.
If you are worried about saying something directly to these people, at least talk to pro standards.
Some idiots may not care enough about their own careers to stop acting like 8 year old retards on a frequency which is publicly available, but the rest of us need to act.
Don’t tolerate these clowns on your aircraft. Regardless of which seat you are in, say something. I have never flown with anyone childish enough to play games on guard, but if I ever do, it will absolutely stop.
Police this ourselves. We don’t need a CNN story about this Beavis & Butthead nonsense. If this is found to be coming from 121 aircraft, we all look like idiots.
(And yes, some of this is from 121 aircraft. We really do hear that voice on approach later.)

The meowing and idiocy is secluded to the east coast US, and I agree, it’s gotten worse. I’ve never seen another DL pilot play around or bark at someone on guard, and it’s 12 years here for me next week.
There was a legit distress recently in Wisconsin (we were over Ohio flying into DTW- couldn’t hear the aircraft in distress) and someone was helping them program their G1000 for the nearest airport. Some tool bag near us started making smart @ss comments about G1000 guy, you’re on guard.
Whoever’s pilots are doing it, they are in the eastern US and really gets going closer to the Atlantic. That isolates it to only a couple regionals....
