Anyone know this Captain at American??

[ArtVandalay]

This guy at American is a complete MORON. Will not shut up the whole flight with useless information to the passengers. BLAH BLAH BLAH. I wanted to smack this guy right in the mouth with all his babble every 4 minutes about, "we're cruising at...we're flying over...we're near..." He kept saying, "and what's interesting is...." I'm pretty sure his name was Captain Goodlin or Goodman??? on the MD80. Anyone know this fool??

Believe it or not, there are a few happy people in this world.

...tool...

 

[Dumbluck]

Oh man, what are puddy chucks, thats funny, LMAO!!!

There are happy pilots and there are pilots who enjoy their jobs....and then there are pilots who can't leave the PA alone and shut the h311 up.
I was riding in back once and got to listen to one of these guys suffering from diarrhea of the mouth. PAs were at least five minutes long, and we were treated to a dissertation on every little point of interest along the way- geologic features, mining camps, Lewis & Clark, Underground Railroad, WWII training airfields, Route 66- you get the picture. The passengers were almost universally ignoring him, although some were exchanging glances, like "who cares! When is he going to be quiet?". I was starting to wonder if it was one of those flights that ATC always has to call three times before they answer.

When paired with one of those captains, the savvy FO will find and secure the PA circuit breaker when the captain isn't looking. The captain's happy, the passengers are happy- everyone is happy!

I can't take credit for that, puddy chucks is a Canadian thing.

My best friend, a co captain for a 91/135 operator, had the misfortune of his mom letting the cat out of the bag when she told me and the wife his childhood nick name.

 

[Dumbluck]

Only a Mom could come up with Puddy chucks (Canadian or otherwise)

still laughing, puddy chucks. hehehe

 

[Fly-n-hi]

You think this is bad? Wait until you fly with some fool who does this on red-eye flights.

 

[ArtVandalay]

OMG now that is some funny $hit. and I believe this guy would.

[psysicx]

Wow I have not heard about Enya for a long time.

I better not be an airline pilot, because I do find that kinda of stuff interesting and subject my friends and passengers in car trips to all that information anyways.

yea, but your check bounced biatch, what did you expect?

 

[Dumbluck]

FN, I hope there hidden meaning to that, otherwise, that comeback is not up to your usual standards.

 

[becket]

personally, I like to know that the rock formations that I'm flying over are rich in bauxite. Maybe it's just me.

Trying to "show" something on the ground to the meat in the back is futile, unless it's something prominent and isolated by itself like the Grand Canyon, that bigass crater in Arizona, Niagara Falls, etc.

Even something as grandiose as Pike's Peak is lost among the other mountains that surround it, so why point it out? Besides, a 14,000 foot mountain looks like a dirt clod from FL370.

We have a great view up front, and I know I've tried to point out something to the other guy, and it's usually like this: "Okay, you see that discolored area on the ground, two o'clock-ish? Come about two finger-widths to the right. Now about halfway between that and the water tanks at four o'clock, can you see a road... you see it? No? You sure? Well f*** it then."

Now if pointing out something to someone with the same view that I have is that difficult, imagine if only half of the people on board can even see the direction you're looking, and their field of vision is only about 60 degrees. Now figure that it's 50/50 that the sun's in their eyes. And usually about half the windows are scratchy or have condensation on the inside.

So by pointing out something on the ground, all you're doing is annoying everyone on board just to entertain the half-dozen people who might be interested, except that they're probably asleep, in the can, or watching the movie.

Probably the only people who really five a rat's a$s about what's on the gound are the guys who have an airplane boner anyway, and they're probably travelling with a GPS, sectional, and a handheld NAVCOM, so they know what they're looking at before you ever pick up the PA.

 

[ArtVandalay]

My point is, most people are trying to sleep in the back. JUST SHUT THE F|_|CK UP ALREADY AND GIVE US OUR PEACE.

 

[AA717driver]

5:30 a.m. dep. LGA-IND. Some dip$h!t USAir guy has to point out every freakin' mining town and deer stand in PA.

I always told pax on early flights the flight time and wx at the destination and that I was going to shut up after pushback and let them sleep.

I'm sorry if they missed out on another guided tour of Table Rock Lake or Lake of the Ozarks or the various towns on the Missouri River heading into STL...TC

 

[AAslag]

WHAT TC!

You are not concerned where Lewis and Clark bought rum and screwed French and Indian prostitutes during their winter hiatus along the north shore of the Missouri!

Mein Gott! The view of the French fur trapping colony of La Charrette is to suggest "ouvir de grands yeux".

Actually, I never told anyone that the place existed. The unnecssary bank to the right simply provided me a view of my house.
