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.

#1 reply yet! I think the guys who wear Gucci loafers to do walk arounds in CYYC during a Feb snow storm, while wearing the dinner jacket with the collar flipped up are almost as good!

No he got it right.

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.

 

[BoilerUP]

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

And anybody who says "fishfinder".

This is too funny...because it's soo true!

That's my biggest pet peeve!!!

It's guys who check in without listening for a second that drive me f***ing insane. How can you fly for 30 years and still not learn to wait a second?

You should see the "diseases" at CAL that dig for gold. I had one to BOG that literally mined for 3 hours. I was busy with my maps out since I've never been down there. All those escape routes and I look over to see this tool digging for gold. Oh well right? Well, I'm looking at the tubes and I see something flick on the screen. I then noticed him flicking his boogers and one landed on my screen. I got one of those wipes and trying to hold back my vomit as I smeared it on my screen. I was so pissed. This Capt had yellow stains under his shirt and looked like he hadn't bathed in weeks. Of course, he was going down to visit his little chicka in BOG. Next morning, he put his left leg up on that foot rest below the CRT tubes and turned the gasper vent to cool his nuts. I smelled a combo of disease and urine for several hours. The only thing that prevented me from throwing up is putting a handy wipe in my hand and sticking it under my nose. Disgusting people...........

I can't stop laughing!!!!!

Keep your fat fingers off the fms glass, the eicas glass and the ryu glass.

Clean up your got damn mess.

Quit f'ing ripping off the second loop of the gray trashbag around my armrest; I leave it like that so stuff doesn't spill and my foot doesn't get caught in it when I get out of the cockpit.

Please please please don't tell me standard when the first f'ing thing you do is yap or text on taxi out.

Please don't call me on stupid stuff with a non company fed on the jumpseat;ie glideslope and vgsi are not coincident. Yes I am flying the papi,vasi whatever.

I had some turd call me on thrust reverser usage in Atlanta. Stfu

When you are done put your dirty company headset away;don't leave it for me to put away.

Please leave 3A on. You know why.

07:00 is our show time not our van time. I know it's a 10 minute ride but come on; that 5 minutes isn't going to do your sorry arsenal good anyways.

Please don't cry about my lunchkit on the floor; it's not going to get in the way of an egress.

And you wonder why you keep getting the elevator room.

My phones off how about yours?

Anyone else?

Had a guy carry a print out the entire listing of Rush Limbaugh affiliates and he would insist on dialing it in the ADF and listening to it on turns over the speaker. I'd rather listen to the FA talk about her cat. I did the longest walk arounds ever that trip.

I hate that. I listen to that go on all day and sooo many people do it. I think they are either affraid they will forget to check on or are just lazy...or both.
