Probably not a good thing if you're the subject of a conference call between Washington and NORAD because you have a stuck microphone.

Oops! It's amazing how often this happens in all levels of aviation. Maybe they should have little pictures on the Xpndr kinda like a McDonald's cash register.

bet it was a E190, been seeing a large number of stuck mics lately. mostly the glare shield button wearing. when the button begins to wiggle when pressed there is a good chance it will stick.

Push the towel head with the gun image for 7500.

Press the picture of the robot from Lost in Space for 7700.


Would that work?

Yeah Flylow you should be ashamed of yourself for disrespecting robots like that!

 

[Fly-n-hi]

I read his post. Where was the racism? You could say it's bigoted but it's not racist.

Too many people use the word "racist" while having no idea what the definition is. Why is that?

 

[FLYLOW22]

I am part Lebanese. Are you?

 

[Dizel8]

Some people are just too sensitive.

Fly low, as part Lebanese, you should already know, that it isn't nice to say "towel head" the correct way to say it, is "wearing tablecloth and fan belt"!

 

[B6Busdriver]

I heard they sQuawked 7500 after learning about the AA deal.

Since when is a religon a "race"?

since when is wearing a turban a religion?

 

[Hair-on-Fire]

I am part Lebanese. Are you?

so that makes it appropriate to assume anyone wearing a turban is a terrorist?

Is the other part redneck?

 

[FlickerFade]

So when is commenting on one's head gear of choice racist?!

 

[samballs]

I like how he says "we need to be cleared for the app now please" When did a stuck mic become such a bad situation. sounds like she landed hard!!

No. Jewish.

Ok, that's a good point; that poster is a bigot instead of a racist.

 

[be-400xpdriver]

Some none racist or bigot symbol ideas

7500- Plain round bomb with a fuse coming out the top, as in Spy vs Spy.

7600- Marcellus Wallace with a red ball gag in his mouth from Pulp Fiction.

7700- Wile E Coyote holding an anvil standing two feet off a cliff.
