Airlines typically don't ask for VFR, however in the states it is quite common for someone to specify IFR or VFR in your request on CD- particularly with someone who has a lot of time as a CFI alternating between IFR and VFR. Surely you haven't been overseas sipping cognac for that long?

My technique is to not state IFR as it is quite obvious, but I hardly classify it as toolish.

PDC capable stations, we use ACARS... most international places I go to do not support PDC.

Easy does it little buckaroo. This is supposed to be a humorous thread.

20+ years worth. Some of the finest too may I say.

And all of it included in the airfare, too.

" Instruments to BFE - Negative PDC" ughhhhh

FA's who have Highway to the Dangerzone as their ringtone

Anybody with a "Highway to the Dangerzone" ringtone.

Might be a good one for when the neighbors hot wife calls.

This epic thread must... not... die.

My TOTD goes to the FA who thought she'd sneak into the cockpit's crew bunk area and steal a couple of the plastic-wrapped blanket/pillow combos. When busted in the act - "You guys always have extras, and they never have enough for us."

Anybody else find it borderline toolish when the captain's boarding PA contains a longer than needed dissertation covering the flight crews' background, experiences, and total flight time?
