Well, I will have to be the opposite of your plus one. I have had many, many bad days in this industry. From divorce, to strike, to furlough to family member illness and I have never been disrespectful or idiotic on the ATC frequencies. Maybe we all need to grow up and start acting like the professionals that we all so desperately want to be treated like.

BINGO!!!!!

For all of you calling the original poster a tool and whatnot, did you hear what the Eagle pilot said and sounded like? Maybe he actually WAS rude/unprofessional! It wouldn't be the first time it's happened especially from regional pilots, and before you condemn me for that comment consider the fact that I came up through the regional airline ranks.

The ATC animal never has to worry about a furlough, a downgrade, or a termination. Unlike the majority of us, has a retirement.

So, the mean Eagle Pilot gave him some s@it.

Guess you forgot about the 80s when they went on strike and Reagan fired them all. They never got their jobs back.

The CA in question is well known among FO's.

I have to agree with the orginal poster on this. Everyone has bad days and everyone has bad things happen to them. Thats life. However just because you are having a bad day you have no right to take that out on the people around you. We are supposed to be PROFESSIONAL pilots. Part of being a professional is being respectful and acting professional even if you are having a bad day. Constantly giving controllers attitude and using snide remarks not only makes you look bad but also makes your fellow pilots look bad. People on this forum may tell me to lighten up, but it drives me nuts hearing stories like this. Our profession has taken enough beatings from everyone else, we don't need to do it to ourselves.

This last line is perfect. If we as a group want to be treated as professionals, we can't have this type of crap happening. Ya 99% of us probably do act very professionally and derserve to be treated as such, but that 1% can ruin it for everyone.

Spare us your better than though comments. Everyone is allowed a bad day (even pilots)....for you to call these guys out on a PUBLIC forum is a petty and egotistical move on your part. If it was as bad as you said it was im sure the feds would handle it accordingly. You friend are a tool

Isn't that what being a professional is all about? Not letting your bad day affect other people, or taking it out on other people? If you think it's ok to be disrespectful to anyone just because your vagina hurts then you are a tool.

Actually many got rehired in the late 90's. Many of them didn't make it through training but many were hired back.
