drives me nuts too. rude...totally rude. I usually go out of the way to make sure the guy/girl does, and then make sure he digs out all of his liscense and medical, and do the "club" id test on the guy.

"How about just plain BREATHING in the hot mic. That kills me."
oh yeah...

Yeap. We are part of the crew. When I go to ask for a jumpseat I shake the hands of both crew memebers and Thank both of them for the ride. I usally speak to the FA as well. (Some Capts ask me to check in with the FA and let her know where I'm sitting)

I can't believe you are dissin' Natalie Portman in Garden State. Yeah, the character was oer the top, but she *made* that movie with her annoying babble. Without the contrast between her and Zach Braff, it would have just been another crappy indie film.

To get back on track:
-Controllers that try to correct you by saying "tree" when you say "three".

-Being charged the pound-in-the-ass ramp fee at any Signature when all the rampers are smoking cigarettes standing by the fuel truck 50 yards away, watching you park, chock, and unload passengers yourself.

-Passengers that paid $150 to fly round trip halfway across the country that complain about being forced to fly in "that puddle jumper" CR7.

• People who are too f-in lazy to get out of their air conditioned cockpit to ask the ramp to remove the GPU or air cart. So they call OPS and bitch instead. Seriously, most of the rampers know english, and will appreciate you talking to them like a person.

Dude? Are you talking about me?



PASSENGERS!

Going into ATL and getting "Hold southwest...blah blah...EFC 50 min from now!!

It's kinda funny that all these post are CA's bashing FO's. Trust us... You guys can get on our nerves too! I think that you guys were all FO's at one point in time. We are learning!!! Thats why were are FO's.

Oh Yeah... My last one is CA's bashing FO's.

Here's mine lately...

The entire aviation community being required to spend millions (if not billions) to comply with RVSM and we still can never get direct anywhere...

This one drives me nuts, especially since we're in a Lear 31A and can climb to any altitude within RVSM airspace all year around AND most times easily climb above it... I haven't seen where this is any great improvement...

If it wasn't for all the annoying passengers, Non-rev travel would be so much easier and less stressful

Oh Yeah when you ask ops for things, anything whether its 1 wheel chair or a laundry list of stuff and all you get back is "Copy" which really just sounds like a bird chirping into the radio.

What you say is true. But, watching it, it's like "Wow, you totally intrigue me, to the point that I'd like to do things, but yet you annoy the sh*t out of me."

Dude? Are you talking about me?

Hahaha, no, but now that you mention it... j/k

That's gross...maybe you should bring some of that really stinky cheese and start eating it when tuna man starts in on a can.

Man, When is STL going to get rid of the Thuged out Rrampers.

Hey now, I used to be one of those thugged out rampers while I was in college. We're not as dangerous as we look

Well, In my defense, all of the things I listed earlier used to bother me when captains did them to me as an FO. At least now I have the authority to say "KNOCK IT OFF!!"

I was a ramper for 4 years while I was in college as well, but I wasn't thugged out and we had a dress code. When did they start letting the rampers wear those dangn stockings on there head? Only in STL

Clear and a million doing a visual approach backed up by an ILS and Captain says your a half a dot high.

Jumpseaters who don't introduce themselves to the F/O.

I guess im biased because I am an FO but I absolutely HATE when jumpseaters never even look at me, much less introduce themselves to me.! I think its kind of retarded but oh well, im just a lowly FO. Good point though

Some other guy, I think it was laxsaabdude said he hates when FO's question his technique. I guess I am annoying then because whenever I see a captain do something thats not normal I question it so I can learn, I dont ask it in an a$$hole kinda way, I ask and I make myself sound interested because if something works, I want to use it. I hope my captains arent like you and think im annoying because I dont "question" them, I ask them ONLY to learn!

HEY! laxsaabdude was one of the most fun captains I ever flew with. Don't judge based on flightinfo posts!

Captains with the "My" syndrome:


Do you have MY release...
You can close MY cockpit door now...
Call for MY taxi...
