Cut and pasted from Pprune but so typical of the area.

"Airmanship of the Year Award; Captain of Saudi 554 RUH-DXB 19 Oct
Observed in front of us as we awaited taxi at RUH on the 19th;

Foreign aircraft completing a 135deg pushback from the gate under air traffic instruction.

Captain Ahmed in his Saudi Airlines A330 obviously impatient, as the aircraft under push partially blocks the taxiway he wants to turn into. So instead of waiting, Captain A moves his nose into a ridiculously close position to the foreign aircraft's nose, and begins to turn. From our position abeam to this incident, it looked like Capt Ahmed was about to swing his wingtip through the cockpit of the 777 under push.

The Capt of the other aircraft made a broadcast asking the 330 to slow down or stop...in a rather urgent tone.

Air Traffic got involved, asking the Saudi Airlines 330 about the incident.

Capt Ahmed's response on the ground frequency; "He should respect this country"....twice!!

Capt Ahmed; for this fine example of airmanship, you are awarded the Moron of the Year Award.

You are a credit to your airline and your nation."

Tool of the Year.

Those who can't or choose not to control the volume of their voice. For whatever reason they're almost always stuck on "loud" too.

Flew with a first officer like that..San Juan center told him "stop shouting".

Captain Ahmed just had to pee.

The Magic Kingdom is place to avoid. Too many like capt Ahmed.

You gotta love the disdain airline crews display on a regular basis for the folks writing their paychecks.

That does not entitle people to treat flight crews like dirt.

My captain the other day, when I called for the descent checklist at 18,200 feet, said "It's not 18,000 feet yet, let's wait" -_- TOTD
