Annoying things your CA/FO does, 2011 version

[freight dork]

Come fly in Asia for a few years and you'll never complain about the FO's in the USA ever again. I'm to the point that I'm just happy that the company I work for finally changed our Ops Manual to prohibit smoking in the flight deck on flights shorter than four hours. Now if the FO's and cabin crew would just turn off their IPAD and IPHONE long enough to actually do their job I'd be ecstatic. It would also be nice if they spoke english well enough that we could actually communicate......one can always dream.

All of you gen Xrs just want to make meuke:

Gen X'ers were born in the 1960 '70 and no later than 1982. SoI think you mean Generation Y. These guys are from about the mid '70's to early 2000's. They can be recognized with hair-gel, backpacks, ipod's, sunglasses in the terminal, and a disdain for their job unless the get a trophy at the end of the day..

Careful there, Ace, you don't want to hurt their feelings and pop their balloon in thinking they're God's gift to aviation, women and the world......

The best way to keep someone from repeatedly pushing your "annoy" button is to keep its location secret. Exhibit a fake button and let them wear their finger out while you chuckle.

The single most valuable post ever made on flightinfo.com...perhaps the entire internet.

I had to doublecheck my browser's address bar to verify I was actually on this forum.

Thank You Sir.

People who refuse to learn. They get out of school, jump in, and think they've "arrived". They get a sense of entitlement and are impossible to train.

Pilots who check onto a frequency without using their callsign, at the speed of an auctioneer.

And anybody who says "fishfinder".
