Way to many "by the book" captains on this thread. Ya'll missed the point. Going on a public forum and calling out a guy or gal for something that could've been handled by someone else is a tool thing to do. I'm sure you're all professionals and a treat to fly with but that is just my opinion. Glad to know we have each others back in this profession when stuff hits the fan...

I get what you're saying, but disagree. I've been around long enough to know that pilots who come across as asshats on the radio over and over again, generally ARE asshats - and are difficult to live with in the cockpit.
Someone like that DESERVES to be called out. The point? If you're an ass, then expect to be called on it. |
We all have been guilty of making comments about ATC to the guy we're flying with like, "This guy is a moron" or "What is this guy doing?" However, they still have a job to do, and I would never make a comment on the radio like "anything else?" If the Eagle pilot was having a bad day and taking it out on ATC, it's wrong for him to do. I also don't agree with a person calling another pilot out on a public forum, like the OP.

fairly JR RSV captain, and soon to be 2 year FO. 1000 hours as Capt.
I put my money on the left seat! However your little rich man is no reason why any of us care how we talk on the radio, if I knew so many rich guys had this on their corporate jet as entertainment I would have been cracking tons more jokes about the rich. Going forward I will make sure I joke with controllers about it!! Maybe a new APC thread, joke of the day with ATC to **** off the rich guy who has comm 1 as a speaker in his plane! |

I'm curious why you think it is corporate. UAL has had these as an inflight radio station for many years. Taps into the Jumpseat avionics panel. And I wish I read this a month ago to look up the names. Cus I fly with a bunch of DBs. One just lit a cigarette while taxing with apu feeding packs. Recirc off. And cockpit window open. So I put money on captain. The FO is probably happy to have a Job.
