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.
