Are any of you doing anything about it? Or are you just beotching on APC?
Nope just whining and *****ing on APC about it. Still haven't heard what we got for tossing the contract in the toilet for a couple of days in June.

You said it's a good thing ours are getting it, I said something like another win for aviation security.
Totally agree.

Drops the phone (my add) and walks away with 145 open mouths.

Has anyone experienced this?

To his credit, the one thing that bothers everyone, generalizing here, is the AM visit to the lavatory after the coffee and the banana that people do.
If it's the same person, I thought he got his wee-wee smacked by management for doing this act a few months ago after a pax filmed his act and e-mailed it in to Spirit's complaint line. But he's been doing it for a while.

No...... You need to tell him. It's bad enough the zoo our customers have to put up with, only to be scolded when they've finally found their seats. It would not inspire much confidence in me to know the guy in charge of my life were such a fruit loop! How embarrassing to the rest of us! How these guys get through is a mystery.

Where is he based?

Why are FOs not telling this guy to stop messing with pax. Hopefully he gets ripped on relentlessly every time he sits down after one of those tirades. I know I'd be happy to let him know how I felt about it. What a knob!

I hear there's a guy wearing a baseball hat in uniform everywhere he goes. You can bet I'd say something to him. The professional standards committee told me that they are not uniform police, but I really think they should be. I've seen some pretty pathetic looking pilots in my 4 years here...

You mean the DTW captain who was on medical for 7-8 years and came back about a year ago? He's just an a$$. Talking to him is useless. He's better than you. Saw him in MYR a few months ago strolling past subway with it on.

Sometimes taking a picture and emailing it to management may be the only solution. Just sayin...

Well when I flew with him it was more like a light hearted comedy routine. Most of the time people laughed and seemed to enjoy it. I just thought it was cheesy
