That should be the CRM interview question - "you're flying with a senior mgt pilot and he starts yacking on his phone while taxiing. What you do????"

So nobody's pi$$ed about the green light wasting away while nobody is moving. Except me. Nobody texts me anyway.

I thought UAL and Delta only hired the cream of the crop? Seriously though I'd expect this type of stuff at some of the regionals, from the 22 year old kids who've never had to work for anything in their life and have no discipline. Once you get to a major you should have enough experience in life not to do these things.

In flight or at other critical times is pretty out there, but say you're sitting on the hard stand for an hour waiting for a gate. You think it's outrageous for a pilot to pull out their phone or turn their iPad off airplane mode and check their email? It's against regs, but not something I'd consider particularly unusual.
