If it’s an airbus/domestic 756/777 with both JS’s occupied, at least it’s more of a mystery if you let one rip.

No arguments there. If the fish had been a red snapper, that photo could have made a great Christmas card
If she had Guinness around you could use it as a St. Patrick’s day card.

The old shark/GFofFUPM need to step up his fishing photo game.

Don't plug in the headset....

Don't point out simple errors unless it's truly a safety of flight issue...

The crew isn't asking for a line check, so don't act like your there to give them one...

I've got an Andy Jackson that says there's a red snapper in there somewhere, or there will be soon.

The snapper has a wrapper.

The fish is pretty impressive too.

Brings up an interesting point... I had a situation many years ago on a legacy AA Jumpseat. I’m a very well “trained” jseater... it’s a privaledge not a right. And I am humbly grateful for the ride regardless of the size of the jet. Crew BOTH read back the wrong assigned altitude and even dialed in the wrong altitude and started an open descent that would’ve left them 2k feet low. I said something... the CA who was PM queried ATC...sure enough I was right... fixed the altitude and was no worse for the wear. He then turned around and said verbatim to me,”if I want your help next time I’ll ask for it”. My jaw dropped to the floor in awe. I kept my mouth shut for the remainder of the flight. Your welcome for saving you an ASAP. Happens to all of us at one point and there’s no shame in it. Just unbelievable to me the response. UAL guys have been nothing shy of spectacular every time I’ve begged for a lift.

Two things:

1. I once had an offline jumpseater save me from an altitude bust. I thanked him profusely.

2. You're an additional crewmember in the jumpseat. Its your duty to point out things like that. My first MD-80 jumpseat the crew was doing a flex takeoff. Never having seen one before I asked if the "ART INOP" caution light was normal. Capt. said, "It is. But thanks for being observant anyway."

I think you just had a TOTD nominee.
