just flew a 3-day with "special radio voice guy"...

[ATRCAPT]

The guy I just flew had to start every single radio transmission with the word "yeah". "Yeah, Salt Lake Center..." "Yeah, So Cal...", "Yeah, Vegas Ops...". Weird.

 

[rettofly]

Had a departure controller coming out of KTOL one oh dark thirty night some years ago who replied to clearance readbacks with "cool". Had to ask her where that was found in the Controllers' Manual.

Instant reply: "The appendix".

 

[Kharma Police]

The silky smooth COMAIR guy that did the phone updates during the strike was the best.

That Comair guy actually was a disc jockey at one point.... Kinda nerdy but a very nice guy and fun to fly with.. Knew a ton about constellations also.. Made nights up and down the East Coast more interesting.

Just like the colony of pilots who believe every ATC facility is named "Aaaannnd."

Aaaannnd approach, aaaannnd tower, aaaannnd ground... shoot me in face.

The other month I was flying over India and a Delta pilot checked in with Mumbai or Chennai control, can't remember. Then he started complaining about the "scratchy radios with a squeal in the background." No problems there as I agree Indian ATC facilities are generally crap. But then he went on in a very condescending tone to say "I've been telling you guys this for years and you still haven't fixed it!" Then of course my non-american FO looked over to me with one of those, Why are Americans such Dou-chebags looks....?

Lets remember when flying in third world countries that they are called third world for a reason and are not in a position to cater to our every need.

She wasn't bad. Some Kitty Hawk guys went over to the tower one night to say hi to her. They came back with a Polaroid with her. She looked like the lady who played the wife on Home Improvement with Tim Allen. Patricia Richardson;, this was the late 90's.

Well how bout that. She had a porn star voice, no question about it and she played that card quite frequently. She sure made you wish you weren't in a pressurized tin can but rather sitting next to her on a couch

Is just me or did that post sound a lot like a "special radio voice guy"?

 

[pb4ufly]

I understand this forum is all about fun and only about fun. Yes, I am a volunteer reading everything before me, etc. But seriously, fellas and dames - do you truly care "how" the other person sounds on the radio?

One of the best parts of our job is just gett'n it done. We work together no matter what.

Personally, traits such as this just make our job more colorful.

Your thoughts?

 

[Mach 80]

My thoughts are that anyone who says "...with you.." is stupid.

Thanks for asking.
