Unacceptable behavior
 

Really. This guy acts like only the FO’s are texting and using the cell phone. I got to say as someone who isn’t much of a cell phone guy it kind of went up my a$$.
Jesus I would guess conservatively that 50% of the capitones I’ve flown with are buried in there phones during the preflight.
Okay I feel better had to vent. Hate the righteous attitude.

I believe the he was actually a she who reported it....

Probably the same she that almost took out the ramp in ORD.

Not everyone's CA experience is meant to last, that's why it didn't.

Is it that difficult to be a Captain and handle it? That ASAP makes the individual that wrote it look like they can't manage their cockpit.

I think the person you are talking about made it back to the left seat.

Let's say trying to come back....

My money’s on a certain stepmom.

I don’t think using the phone during preflight was the issue. I think the line was drawn between checklist. I have personally had to ask a pilot to put the phone down while I was taxing. Never thought I would ever have to do that. ???

Forgot about that one!
