Departure briefing: "... any questions?"

Would I be a tool for mentioning that those boys put a few women in the water?

I am SO stealing that!

No joke, one day coming out of HPN- when the F/A asked a woman what she wanted to drink, the wife told her husband, "Tell her I don't talk to the help."

Also out of HPN, I climbed out into the cabin as pax were deplaning and a business man in a suit opened his briefcase and emptied all its contents (mostly trash) in the aisle, closed up the briefcase, and walked off the airplane. Incredible. Super Tool.

Actually, there are a lot of Tools coming out of HPN. I have more issues with pax there than anywhere else.

There can't be a correlation, can there?

Not tool-- dripping wet behind the ears. Unless he says-- "they are more aerodynamic this way" and doesn't change them out.

I wore mine like that the first month... It looked more right if it tapered out (never had looked at them that close). And besides, everyone needed a gentle reminder everytime they saw me that I'm better than them!

There are a substantial number of AV8SWA and 737SWA and SWANO1 and other variants in the crew lot of my airport. Really?

But let's not forget the Jetblue guy last week somewhere on NYC departure who signed out with "BLUE!" in the gutteral "CYA!" style. "Jetblue XXX to 123.45... BLUE!"

No sir, I am no such thing: the gentleman failed to heed the advice of his instructor, and failed to account for his limitations. Flying has little tolerance for poor judgment.

But I wasn't relating the story to label the person in question a tool (he was actually more of a fool), but simply as a matter of geographical proximity to the other post.

Monday morning quartebacking would suggest picking apart a response to a complicated situation, by a more qualified individual. Mine was merely a sad observation about the unfortunate outcome of an unqualified individual making a simple decision, and chosing poorly.

- Anybody that says "SEE YA", in the fast deep voice, when switching frequencies
- The guy that knows everything, until you tell him facts
- Anybody that comes on here to complain that we are talking about this, (you are the guy we are all talking about) they need to realize this is a place for us to vent

Comair had a guy with the plates that read "RJ pilot"
