Dumb etiquette question

[Aviatard]

If you're in a hospital and see a guy/girl with a white coat and stethoscope, you do the nod and say, "Doctor." If you're on the street and you see a cop, you do the nod and say, "Officer." If you see a four-striper, you do the nod and say, "Captain." If you see a one-striper (or even a two-striper), you do the nod and say, "coffee."

What do you do when you see a three-striper? Is there an easier way to acknowledge an FO than, "Hey... you..."

'tard

 

[jvrac]

I've been called "officer" before by the van driver. He was probably just trying to get a better tip though.

 

[uberbored]

you say bend over

 

[BenderGonzales]

If you have a male F/A - prior to landing do you give him 3 dings or one big dong?

 

[cptcrunch]

!@#$%

There is a USBP dude in Customs at PBI that calls the Captains "Captain" and the F/O's "Commander". He is a tool and he highlights his hair. Go figure.

 

[Prop2Jet]

I am always called "excuse me you ready to board?"

You must live in a rowboat. Your lat lon is way off shore on your way to the islands. You must always be a captain. At home and at work.

I usually just say, "Hello, Sonny." 4 stripes, 3 stripes, don't matter to me.

Then again I am not trying to jumpseat anymore, so I have become less formal, and more friendly.

Three stripers are heretofore to be addressed by the formal and proper title of "Dam it."

Gear up, Dam it.
Flaps up, Dam it
Half dot low, Dam it.

 

[TA/RA]

You give them a dollar. They need it.

 

[whaleroast]

Your basic surf-lingo will suffice. Examples:
'Hey Dude.'
'Dude'
'Got a killer trip dude?'
'Weather was rocking out there dude!'
'Dude, I got so wasted last night.'
'That was not cool, Dude.'
'Dude, you see that hottie in Maxim?'
'She was smokin dude.'

Brilliant! :beer:

 

[Baronman]

What do you call the FO?
In your best Jean-Luc-Picard british accent, "Number One"

 

[Jack Mehoff]

I am going to try that next time i am out! that iz some funny shizzle

 

[Mesabi Miner]

I was called, "61tch" by one of our female captains when she called for a checklist... Kinda liked it.

 

[temcgrew]

Hey Quiet Flight, do you use their boards?

 

[atlcrashpad]

I say "Welcome to my flight deck, don't touch nuttin'."

 

[Quiet Flight]

UEJ,

Natural Art. Just liked the surfing/flying connection. You??

 

[bristolgone]

everyone once in a while some overweight middle aged chain smoking midwestern lady will ask me if i am a flight attendent and when she finds out i am a first officer her son usually tells me i am not really a pilot. its true though i forgot how to fly a long time ago thanks to reserve and a shrinking fleet.

No connection in St. Louis, Especially flying the J41. I can't think of any surfing connection, but our call sign is "waterski". Just seeing that name brought back memories. I knew you had to be local to that area. I left in '88.

I am guessing that happend in Hilton Head? John from S&J?

 

[Kip Dynomite]

I prefer the title, 'apprentice pilot', myself...

That's the guy.

 

[Sig]

That's the guy.

ROFLMAO!

Good thing it wasn't the squirrel-turd nutty female driver- I think she calls FOs "Baby Daddy Candidate."

There was one down there that- rumor has it- turns tricks on the side. Apparently we had a crew member "indulge" at one time. Anyone who remembers who I am talking about (the one that refers to her biker boyfriend as her "daddy") knows how truly nasty that really is.

There was one driver down there who almost killed us about 3 times on the way back to the airport because he was late. You'd think that after the first time almost rear ending someone at 60 miles an hour you'd start driving more carefully. No such luck.

 

[TOOL CRIB]

The AirTran flight attendants always introduce the pilots by "Captain ______ and Co-Captain _______". Kinda makes me wince. But the have black-cherry vanilla coke on their flights so it's all good.

 

[belchfire]

I always liked FNG. I did use the accent and "Number One"
but only with the one of the female FO's that thought
it was funny...

Ha ha, of course she liked it more!
