I don't know if its just me, but I think some things can get annoying at times.

1. Crew members who are "hat nazi's"

2. Crew members who think they are chuck yeager that just started flying 2 years ago.

3. An FO with extemely low time that thinks they should be captain.

These are some of mine. I hope I don't sound like a "Dooshbag", just venting!
 
Put on your hat, step aside and let me fly. I should be captain by now anyways.

You must be flying with Riddle dorks!
 
A captain that never lets the FO fly, even the empty legs.

Cheap a$$ operators that don't want to send crewmembers to appropriate training.
 
Here's mine

Hearing a regional pilot tell people they are a Captain/FO for [Delta/American, Continental/USAirways] and forgot to include Connection, Eagle or Express.
 
Type "A" pilots who are always pestering ATC for shortcuts.

FOs who are still in "single pilot" mode, and try to make decisions unilaterally.

(See above) FOs who call the airport/traffic in sight when I am flying, and I don't have the airport/traffic in sight.

FOs who want to play "IOE Instructor", and constantly question/criticize me regarding technique issues. Hint: If I'm violating anything, or doing something unsafe, PLEASE tell me. Otherwise, just let me fly. I'll promise I'll give you the same consideration. When I was an FO, I got so tired of flying with micromanager captains, I vowed never to become one. Now, to me, the only thing worse than a micromanaging captain is a micromanaging FO!

My motto: RELAX, and let's try to work as a crew.

LAXSaabdude.
 
4) Airlines that can't afford to give raises...
5) Airlines that build lines requiring senior
CA's to sit reserve...
6) Hat nazies...oops, that one is taken...
sniveling little 23 year old CA's that think
they are God's gift to aviation...and make us
greaybeards and all other Captains embarassed
that somehow he is one of us...
6) Political correctness...
(what an oxymoron!)...
7) Thunderstorms...especially the ones that
interupt my commute home...
8) Schools that turn out idiots that ought to
have their drivers license revoked, let alone
fly a commercial aircraft...
9) Management...
10) Unions...
11) Low air fares that make non-reving dang
near impossible...
12) Being paid so little that even if I could
get my family on an airplane (see above)
I can't afford to take them anywhere...
13) Lawers...


Next!

hehehe, that felt good!
 
22-year-old FOs who don't wanna brief the release, the takeoff, or the approach becase it takes away from reading the Maxim/talking to their girlfriend on the phone. "Hey baby, I'm calling you from the airplane, aren't I a stud?" ;)

Guys who don't fly profiles because it's not cool or they don't know them. (Pushing the nose over at 500 agl to speed up to 250 when we just blasted off from a class C or D. Or climbing a 47K pound airplane at 305 knots/600 fpm when we took off with 500 pounds over min. fuel and we're heading into shitty weather).

Guys who try to run a checklist from memory, fcuk it up, and then get pissed when you correct them.

And lastly, crotchety old 28-year-old bastards who give a crap enough to be posting this in the middle of their days off ;)
 
How bout struggling for flight hours cleaning airplanes and dealing with your never satisfied lesbian boss so that I can get to the point where im a hotshit FO who can talk to his girlfriend while at 32K.
