From: Just because the MEL says we can, doesn't mean we should
As we all know, there is often chatter on 121.5 that shouldn't be happening. Some of it is so bad you would otherwise believe that a bunch of 6th graders have hacked the frequency. Any of you guys want to chime in on where this kind of stuff comes from and why? Who would allow it to go on in their cockpit? What I heard last night west of ORD was so off the wall that I felt compelled to ask the question. It is really embarrasing when ATC gets on and demands it stop, only to get another outburst in response. The thought of paying passengers being in the back with these morons was hard to fathom. Are these some of the same bozos that do the SEE YUH routine on the radio also?
I get it. Nobody likes the Guard Police. But come on. The other stuff really makes you think twice about who you might end up on an airplane with.
Fire away.

A fair question and my response is not based on any evidence but just an assumption. The SEE YUH thing that has been going on for years comes from the RJs every time I hear it. I just figured that is likely the type of pilot I would expect to find playing recordings from his IPhone on 121.5 to be highly entertaining. But you are right, it is a question for every forum, not just this one.

Maybe folks need to figure out something like what we had in the Fleet, a "JO Common", which IIRC was 333.3, everyone used it to talk and no one was ****ed about anyone using it except during EMCON-A or if you got a "Bead Window" call.
That might get the knuckleheads off Guard, or not.

Some of our fellow pilots really are morons.

Midwest we'd use the fingers 123.45. I've heard the guard police hamper more emergency situations than I care to count. If I ever fly with an FO who plays guard police, they'll be read the riot act. Pilots will figure out they are on the wrong frequency on their own. We don't need some douchebag jumping down their throat "You're on guard!!!!!" Those who do are toolbags.
