Saw a video on youtube awhile back of some lady getting onto a Great Lakes Beech 1900 in Denver. Because she had the video camera out and rolling as she walked up the airstair the captain, who couldnt have been more than 27 made faces at the camera from the cockpit. Then when she got in the plane she asked him "do you have your learners permit young man?" And in his best baby voice he responded, "no i dont know how to fly plane." thought it was pretty funny.

Back in the days when I was in a Jetstream, we got a reroute, so I pulled out the chart and this guy leaned in the cockpit and asked, "don't you know where you're going?" I turned to him and with a dead serious look on my face said, "NO! Do you?"

Slightly drunk Redneck: "Do you serve alcohol on the flight?"
Me: "Man, you don't even get water."
I didn't care about the insults. Heard all the young guy stuff as a 24 y/o new hire. I was there in pursuit of bettering my career, the peeps just happened to be along for the ride. It's a long road, work hard and enjoy the ride...being a Beech FO is what had me leaning toward UPS/FDX before cargo was cool(pre 9/11). Can't say I miss the pax much.
