Any Pet Peeves?

-Adding a million knots to ref so we float halfway down the runway, and have 64 flare attempts before we run out of enough speed to actually stop flying and touch down.

I'm with you on that one! We have a few people that add random "buffers" to Vref, especially on the -140. I have learned that whenever I fly with someone new, to check to make sure they aren't doing that.

I'm a lot less worried about dropping one out of the sky than I am of blowing a tire, having the steering fail (common problem on the Embraer), or some other mechanical problem not of my doing put us off in the weeds, then have the FAA dig around and find that we were using "made up" approach speeds.

Just do what the book says and be done with it.

-Getting treated like an inconvenience when trying to jumpseat or non-rev. YO! You CAN look me in the eye at some point in the conversation, right? Or say, "CAn I help you?" So I don't stand there at the counter while you play chopsticks on the computer keyboard wondering if you're actually ever going to look up.

-Calling out weird sh!t 10 feet above the runway while I'm in my flare. "Ref!" "320 at 10" 'reffin plus 5' Unless I exceed some limitation or jack up SOP, shhhhh!

Hey G, this one's for you buddy!

 

[Ty Webb]

Calling out weird sh!t 10 feet above the runway while I'm in my flare.

Like, "We're all counting on you".

Or, "Be the ball, Danny".

Or, "D'Oh!".

 

[English]

Testing the engine fire system (the bells) is also a no-no during the flare.

YES someone did that to me - once.

 

[DC8 Flyer]

Asking me if I have ever seen a man lactate 5 feet above the runway on landing.
Whispering "Dont say $hit, dont say $hit!" on the hot mic just as im about to call ground.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU SOOMMMABIATCH!
