On the flipside, it generally pays the same to fly with someone who's not a condescending a-hole. So if there's a choice, I'd rather fly with a normal person.
Yes, I'm thinking of the guy who told me not to talk to anyone outside the cockpit (ops agent, FAs) directly, but to go through him. Why? Because we need a "unified voice from the cockpit" and to "not involve myself with things that aren't my concern." I guess 30 years isn't enough flying experience to read a fuel gauge to an ops agent. :rolleyes: Yeah, there's a reason that I go on high alert when I hear the phrase, "I usually do AMs but I picked this up." These are the same people who eat their lunch with the hot mic on. |

This is hilarious and just plain weird. How did the story end?
I have a similar story from the late 90s that ended like this... "I got a can of that spray foam from Home Depot. The kind that fills cracks and then hardens... And somehow it ended up filling his flight kit. The story ends with him chiseling his Jepp binders out of foam with a hotel pen after I called in sick and went home."

When he finally noticed I wasn't saying a word or doing a thing outside what was dictated by the AOM, he "apologized" with the phrase, and I quote, "I'm sorry you took it badly." I wonder how may exes he has. :D 99% of the guys I work with here are great. But like any pilot group, we sure do have a few weirdos, and I hit the lottery with that one! |

One of the new chiefs they just announced has a thumbs down in my CrewBuddy. So I guess we got that going for us.

Seriously? I better check my CB! Fortunately in my time here I only have few thumbs down.
