The unprofessional behavior on guard is due to the proliferation of immature millennial regional pilots.

 

Do not start grouping an entire generation of pilots. I've seen pilots in their 40s do this so don't start spewing the BS of "immature millennial regional pilots." If anything, the generation coming thru can figure out, "Huehue what is the Airbus doing now?" faster than any of the baby boomers.

 

Agreed!!!!!

 

valid point. Lol.......

 

Fast forward to 3:30

Sorry, but I still laugh my *ss off when I hear that video.........If it wasn't so true, it wouldn't be so funny.........but in all seriousness, I just hope if I need guard for an emergency my brothers/sisters will not be tools and help.

 

Turn the autopilot, a/t and f/d off and lets talk.

 

I agree that this is a problem. It's old, it's tired, it's immature and has the potential to impact safety in a number of ways. To the folks perpetuating it: I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. But until there is a way to put an end to it outside of inane internet rumors, threats and fear mongering the solution is as simple as deselecting comm 2 for a few minutes. The airplane will not, repeat, will NOT fall out of the sky! Just another version of "don't feed the troll". Do what you do with any other distraction in the cockpit that is interfering with your duties and eliminate it! Nine times out of 10 when you come back up a few minutes later the shenanigans are gone. Easy peasey. Bee tee dubs (that's "by the way" for you old farts), I am what many would consider a "millenial" and a proud former regional puke.

 

And you don't hear this crap in any other areas of the world. Gee I wonder why?!?

 

You pretty much don't hear it any as soon as you leave the eastern part of the US.
