Long 4 day?

The new ones seem like they are a bunch of nerdy dorks.

Many long 4 days with the subset. Micromanage zealots. Just waiting for an instruction on how to wipe my ass. Just about everything else has been dictated.

Edit - the old school guys are cool. F4 and prior are balls to the wall.

I agree with you there. The worst I've flown with though was a former KC-10 driver, or any ex-marine.

The worst is a blue ring of death. Hi, I'm from the Springs. I am so smart, but I don't know anything about anything. Sexual harrassment, me and my college buddies never worried about it, ha ha, wink wink.

I also find it interesting how few academy grads get fighters. Whats up with that? Even if you don't see the blue ring you can still pick them out of a crowd after a few minutes.

Gotta defend the one devil-dog aviator I flew with at my old company. Was one of the best captains I ever flew with. I actually found out he was a Marine aviator by asking him instead of vice-versa. Cool cat.

Agreed. It's almost as if you're in competition with them instead of the CRM concept.

They don't know that they don't know.

Just avoid Jay Beard and you'll be okay.

I agree with the post about the F-4 guys. I have never met an F-4 guy who was not interesting and fun to talk to.

I have never met an F-15 guy who was anything but a toolbag.

Hahaha.

 

[Whataburger]

They are cool. Just ask them!

 

[trip]

Ha Ha! In the jumpseat home one night, 2 F16 types doing Cpt IOE. Third bounce and my ask cheeks are reaching for cushion as 73 finally has enough near downwind runway edge. Sure was a quite taxi-in. Nice guys though. Thanks for the ride .

Yeh, and they always generalize about all of us former 1900 drivers, just because of a few bad apples.

Is Ablie friends with this guy? Good candidate for Airtran.

Build a thousand bridges... kind of puts "mud-hen" into perspective though
