A fun game to play in the cockpit...

[TNHillbilly]

I try to find a way to file a fix called SHART on any flight going over Nebraska...then see if anyone calls or sends a message when they notice.

So far, not one soul has noticed. Sad.

I would notice...dang thats funny. I think I just farted...or did I just crap my pants a little????

Pick a city, any city, and try to guess your FMS distance on the fix page.

Altitude golf is fun too.

Place coins in strategic spots on the panel and see how many stay put on landing. That one may not be a good game on a short runway though. And be sure to find all the coins when you're done.

just go to sleep.....

 

[Captain X]

Items required.....

-6am departure on layover
-2 tired pilots on reduced rest from night before

See which pilot can fall asleep the quickest in cruise.

Why wait 'til cruise?

tic-tac-toe at night by shining the flaslight on the EMB circuit breaker panel which is not backlit and only has glow-in-the-dark letters

My post was in jest. But those are some things I have actually seen on releases. Things that make no sense at all. Yes I do call dispatchers on those things.

Under the direction of the captain, right?

Heck yes it does... I still carry the cards in my laptop bag.

That post was what some people call extreme sarcasm. If you believe we do stuff like that in our office, you're an idiot.

It's funny to me how you came out swinging with the "girlfriend" statement. Why? Did I strike a nerve or do you just hate dispatchers?

Screwing with our routes and fuel loads when the weather sucks is a very inmature and nerdy thing to do. sounds like something highschool freshman would pull.

When flying with a hot FA, get her up front and play Find Pedro.

 

[Knightball]

After a good round of Find Pedro, square off on a Sodoku race to pass time during the refactory period. Then re-up on the Find Pedro.

I like to take a rubber mallet and see how many whacks it takes to make my Captains nose bleed!

Have at it!

Besides "find the porn"... this game is about as fun as you can make it given the materials you have at your will.

Materials required:
1 USA Today
1 captain or FO who is literate and social
1 pen (preferably stolen from your hotel the night before)

You flip to that page with "News from all 50 states" and you each pick a state and read (aloud works best) each little story. The one with the "worse" news gets a point. Repeat ad nauseum until you've finished all the stories.

It may not sound too fun, but some of those stories are borderline ridiculous, and it'll kill an hour and a half or so on one of those ridiculously boring legs.

Anyone got any other stupid stuff they do to kill time? Save your Ipod and book rhetoric for elsewhere.

Correct Me if I'm wrong,...but shouldn't you be doing something else while in command of that plane with peoples lives in back ?

Our airline does not allow unauthorized reading in the cockpit.

OK, now... pass me that masking tape so I can hide this porn......

My treat each day is to remove the little plastic logo cap on the yoke of the embraer and see what little words of wit are carved/penned into it... the really good days are when someone has crammed in some porn they tore out of a magazine and somehow slippd past those crafty security screeners

It would also be unprofessional and unsafe. That's why we don't really do it.

Actually, that's a lie. It depends on who the pilot is.

Who is the biggest alcoholic? The Captain, FO, or FA.

I enjoyed Memphis Center lockdown today. That was a fun game. Who knows what we'll play tomorrow? I can't wait already.
