The worst one I heard was coming up from SAN to LAX. We heard an Arrow talking to Palomar tower about severe engine trouble, attempting to make it in on the ILS (it was moderately low IMC that day). Fortunately he made it in.
Just a couple of weeks ago, a student pilot was on guard asking for help because he was losing his electrical system and already lost the radio display (obviously he it was still transmitting/receiving). I kid you not, twice some jackass said "You're on Guard!". That's what it's for dumbass!
I helped the guy get in touch with the approach controller in the area, as we both ignored the clueless guard cop. Can you believe that?

Yes, that was it! I know, we were both surprised at the guard douche. I was the guy that started asking him how we could help.

I hope the nurses/doctors/EMTs your wife/parent/kids rely upon in some future crisis aren't so wrapped up in their own little world when YOU need them.
Grow up.

Perhaps you shouldn't use your 'jump-to-conclusions' mat quite so often. Chill out.

For those guys to even suggest such a thing is sickening. Fortunately I know most of the folks at Horizon are much, much better than that.

Please show me how that must be interpreted as "I wouldn't help out."
Come on, man... now you're just reaching. And honestly, as a professional, to insinuate that I'd intentionally try to leave someone in icing as they were having a problem is just insulting. I do hope you can see how I wasn't stating my beliefs, but only commenting on a statement that was made by someone else.
GB, it really shows the type of intellect we're dealing with here. Blaming the crew and passengers for decisions made by the management of several different airlines? I'd expect better logic from a child.

Perhaps a slightly less defensive position when it comes to reading posts would be helpful.

Internet posting is an imperfect means of communication, and it seems I wasn't able to convey my statement as I meant it. I'm sorry we had this misunderstanding, but I do hope you can see that I wasn't attempting to advocate such behavior. Seriously.
