cockpit fist fight

[cforst513]

...Eagle needs to get rid of those E jets. On the CRJ's there is too much room and the seats too sculpted to even get the cockpit door closed, much less take a swing at your crew member.

heh heh

Or RDG in the old days.

Yeah I like the story about the 2 Shorts capts that got into it on the ramp one day. How the one guy tossed the others flightbag up on top of a SD330. There it sat between the tails of the 330 as they tried to taxi out but the tower was like, "you guys know there's a bag on top of your airplane?" (it was the old tower in ABE that was located on top of the terminal, before the current terminal and tower was built)

I think RDG is famous for the "formation takeoff" and "snake skin" incidents among many others.

The one I really like is the time a Fokker capt duck taped an unruley pax to a chain link fence in LNS on a PIT-LNS-RDG thru flight

 

[BLUE BAYOU]

It is not out of the ordinary to see two FFDOs on the flight deck these days. Maybe a good 'old fashion duel can break out in the cockpit someday, wouldn't that be something!!!

Lear, I've heard about the snakeskin and the formation takeoff (the snakeskin still cracks me up), but the bag thing? Who was that (PM me!)? And the duct tape? I can't believe I've never heard those, all things considered.

I remember the formation take-off (what were these guys thinking!). And "snakeskin" guy was in my class.

Do you recall one of our Captains and his pet toy "Spike"? The new FA's used to get quite a shock coming on board the Sky Pig (aka Irish Concord) and seeing their Capt. in the lav with "Spike" in hand.

But duct taping a pax to the fence in LNS? Come on - I spent a few hours on the F27 and I can only think of one guy that had a temper bad enough to conceive of such a scenario (Smokin J** M****).

What are the details and time frame?

 

[JayhawkDude]

Okay, I'll bite.

Will someone add some details to the snakeskin and formation stories? No names, of course, just some belly-laughing details.

Formation Flying......First flight of the morning. Reposition two empty Irish Concords from RDG to ABE and to LNS.

Pilots decided to have some fun - hence the formation take-off.

Forgot that the Boss's office windows gave a great view of the runway.

The two Captains were off-line for awhile while ALPA worked on getting their jobs back.

 

[njcapt]

Just to avoid a bunch of typing, the snake story (as well as other twisted stories of flying the Shorts at PEN/SUB/ALG) was related here

 

[FlyBoeingJets]

I'm having trouble believing this. Please tell me this is a joke. I have flown with people I don't like, who hasn't, but heated exchanges and fighting??
How could anyone hope to remain in aviation after a stunt like that.

Please show me some good examples.

snakeskins and duct tape...

This is the best thread hijack ever. Especially the link to the 2003 thread.

rumors

Haven't heard of any fighting in the Cockpit (UAL 737 in COS that crashed, love quarrel? rumor) However, I do know there was a fight in a Hotel Elevator between two pilots quit some time ago. I'm pretty sure one got fired.

I realize rumors start off with a grain of truth, but I have to defend Patti, may she rest in peace. She was the FO on the COS crash. I read the trascripts of the crash along with the CVR transcripts as there were many of us that knew her and we followed the findings of the crash. No where was there a love quarrel in progress.

Dredging up this tasteless myth is unneccesary. Most will agree that this event was probably one of the first 737 rudder hard-overs.

 

[Kawasumi_Kichou]

Not long after I left Scenic a captain there punched out an F/O while taxiing out for departure from LAS. The F/O promptly bailed out of the aircraft on the taxiway. The captain had to taxi back alone and was later canned. Don't know what happened to the F/O nor did I ever hear what started the fisticuffs.

Dam, you'd think they would have fired the coward FO. What if there were terrorists boxing the flight flight crew using Broughton's rules and then the FO gets the bright idea to just tip the frolic out of the cockpit at his convenience? Where would that leave the captain and the passengers?

Ancient times. Boxing is one of the oldest known sports. Stone carvings indicate that the Sumerians, who lived in what is now Iraq, boxed at least 5,000 years ago. The sport probably spread from the Sumerians to peoples throughout the ancient world.

Boxing was a brutal spectacle in ancient Greece. Two young men would sit on flat stones, face to face, with their fists wrapped in thongs (strips of leather). At a signal, they began to hit each other until one of them fell to the ground unconscious. The other man then continued to beat his opponent until he died. According to legend, the thongs were later fitted with metal spikes so that the fights ended more quickly.

The Romans also staged brutal boxing matches. On their hands and forearms, the fighters wore cestuses, which consisted of leather straps plated with metal. In time, the sport became so savage that the Romans forbade the use of cestuses. In the last hundred years before the birth of Christ, the Romans prohibited boxing.

The beginning of modern boxing. Boxing almost disappeared as a sport until the late 1600's, when it reappeared in England. However, it remained a cruel sport, and many fighters were crippled, blinded, or even killed while fighting.

In the early 1700's, James Figg, one of England's most famous athletes, introduced modern boxing. In Figg's day, boxing involved much wrestling. Figg became successful by punching instead of wrestling. In 1719, he opened a boxing school in London and began to teach his style of bare-knuckle (gloveless) fighting.

Figg's boxing rules were still brutal, however. For example, one rule required that boxers continue to fight without rest periods until one man could not go on. In 1743, Jack Broughton, a well-known British boxer, introduced new rules. Under Broughton's rules, a fight ended when one man was knocked down and could not get up within 30 seconds. However, bouts were still continuous. Broughton's rules, with some additions, became standard for all bouts. They were known as the London Prize Ring Rules, and they helped make boxing less savage.

Fighting in the cockpit happens a lot at Blue. It is not really popular to clean **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** off the toilets between flights. Who can blame them? Getting into fights is the least of the problems at Blue!

 

[Flightdawg]

False rumor as verified by the CVR. It started shortly after the crash but before the investigation was complete to explain why a perfectly good 737 would suddenly roll over and dive into the ground. Now we know what caused the crash, it was a mechanical rudder design problem.

 

[JetMonkey]

Did you hear that a couple of AWA pilots were drunk?!

I'm not jumpseating on them anymore!

So, you think we're all a bunch of raging alcoholics huh? Idiot.

 

[Dangerkitty]

I think that comment was made with alot of sarcasm.

 

[matchthehatch]

Apparently you never flew out of ABE on Allegheny.

Lear,

Are you referring to Bill "D0u$*#bag" G? What a complete tool that guy was.

 

[B6Driver]

"Fighting in the cockpit happens a lot at Blue."
What a bunch of BS!
Look who has made this claim; need I say more?
Lies, lies, lies, if you don't have facts, make them up I guess.
