Pilots....

[SammyG]

.....who tell the waitress at Carrabas that they're pilots multiple times during the meal are absolute tools.

As Im sitting there enjoying my meal, the guy behind me kept telling the poor, uninterested girl how he had to get back to the airport to fly back to the Carribean, like he does every day, for his job.


It was almost nauseating.

Anyone else run into this type of arsehole out in public?

[IntheShade]

Right now I am dealing with one who claims to have 21,000 hours

[Cam]

Yup. Sounds like an asshole pilot.

Dale, what was that saying about the break down of pilots. 80% are assholes, 15% are good, and 5% are great pilots.

Oh and Sammy--if you're not a pilot you should try it.

I think Dale sits at a desk all day writing witty statements while he dreams about being a pilot.

Try being a pilot or try being an arsehole?

Either way, been there done that

[JordanD]

I'm not paying forty grand for ratings to NOT be a tool.

Without Dale, ITS...you pilots would be driving around in the crew van all day looking for your planes.

Arrive gate...where da plane at?

A lonely stair truck sitting on the tarmac leading to nothing.

[Dantheman]

These pilots must be single and old and hitting on the waitresses.

These pilots must be single and old and hitting on the waitresses.

maybe there are such ones.. As I got to know captains of only three different airlines until now (yes I try to be abiding), I'm not contradicting much in these things. But afaik there are surprisingly many young FOs, and I'm sure they tend to become captains one day, even if they should be a little mean to their wifes..

Tornado (GR1) humor

Just in case there are any RAF Tornado engineers out there.......

Engineer (crew chief): "You have an A1 hard latch sir"
Pilot: "Whats that?"
Engineer: "It'll probably be OK, but don't fly over any populated areas"
Pilot: "Shit, this is the second AC of crewed out of today!"
Engineer: "its actually the power light on the BITE system"
Pilot: "Is that bad?"
Engineer: "would be if it were off"
Pilot: "whats a hard latch?, is it off?"
Engineer: "Clear start one, ...NRV closed, clear start two, 4 pins, clear for disconnect" chocks away...

Note to Sammy: the number of stripes on the pilot's epaulette represents the number of ex-wives he has.
