Agreed, steak should be meat flavored.

In fact everything should be meat flavored.

Everything.

Come on man..
Yeah nothing personal, but Jesus Tits I have to hear this crap from another pilot? Its bad enough we have to hear it from the pax non stop. Yeah props are loud and noisy and annoying, but you seriously think the props are going to come off and go slicing through the cabin? And you think the pilots are going to kill you. Sweet.

The Beech is a kick ass airplane that can do anything you want. Next time you land in Denver on 17R try to stop by EC. Or better yet I've heard of guys hitting M9. Look it up on your charts. I've been cleared for the visual abeam the numbers at 7500 AGL, made the base turn immediately....and had to add power to get the the 1000 ft. markers. The plane is awesome man, don't bash on it too hard until you've flown it.

also heard from pax boarding a 1900:

"i didn't know i was gonna get an MRI today"
"i thought they shipped all these pieces of ****** to south america!"
when checking the door :"do you need any duct tape to cover air leaks?"
"you don't look old enough to be a pilot"; response:"miss, i'm actually on a special program: if i don't crash my first year, i'll get my driver license too!"

I was a Jetstream copilot in 1995.

The Captain was boarding the folks while I went up front to get the clearance. The most beautiful woman I had ever seen IN MY LIFE boarded the airplane (no kidding, she was amazing).

She sticks her head up on the cockpit and I gave her my best smile.

She says, "Who did you tick off to have to fly THIS thing?".

Well, i'm a pretty quick thinker so without missing a beat I respond, "I slept with the bosses daughter."

She, it turns out, was even quicker than me.

She replies, "You must not have been very good."

Ouch...

Bringing back memories with this one. I was 22 when I flew the 1900 and the only thing salted that I had at the time was my retired fathers PNT luggage. My favorite was going to an EAS city and people are making the small airplane comments. The city is only 5,000 people strong and they want mainline service.

Was in HPN one day, and this uppity snooty pax walks onboard and sticks her head in the flight deck and says "I've never flown on a tinker toy from here to Cleveland- are you sure I'm on the right plane". Captain told her that the 777 that was supposed to pick them up broke down in ROC and they called us in to take the trip.

... sad thing is the stupid woman actually bought the story!!!

Yeah I loved flying the 1900, try flying the jets as rough as the 1900 and see if anything breaks. One night I was doing cargo in it, stopped it in 680 ft. And that was after dropping about 9,000 ft in 3-4 miles. If ATC has to pick a plane to make the shortest approach and use the first taxi way, probably picking the 1900 cargo guy ;-)!!!

PAX "How does thing fly" ME "wish in one hand, **** in the other"

I don't know if this one has been mentioned or not but I used to use it all the time:

As pax are boarding you get the standard "Are you old enough to fly this thing?"
My response, "Actually no, but it's Bring Your Kid to Work Day and that's my Dad up front."

I also had a pax in DEN berate me after the leg from Sheridan, Wyoming because "you kids had no idea where you were going, you flew the wrong way outta Sheridan then finally turned around and went the right way!" Imagine me trying to explain an Obstacle Departure Procedure that requires you to go north to the VOR then turn...
