expletive-laden banter in the cockpit?

[Diesel]

most commonly heard comment in the cockpit.

"What the F&#ck is it doing now?"
"Or where the F*#CK are we going now?"

I think that is standard for me.

How about Amelia? "Fred, where the f*#k are we?!"

Must be something to do with people from the NE ??? I wasn't that bad until I spent a year living up there.

I used to fly with some guys that would substitute some lame a$$ terms for popular expletive laden phrases. For example, instead of "just for s&*ts and grins" it was "for kicks and country corn flakes...."

To which I would reply, "WTF did you just say???"

Professionalism...yes!
When was the last time you went to a doctor and heard him/her use foul language going about their business?

Never, just because doctors cuss behind closed doors, just like we do. It would be another thing if the crew swung the cockpit door open, and started yelling, "watch this fucking crap....."

Language used reflects on the professionalism and manner of the crew or company. I once had a chief flight instructor that would curse all the time, and I had a number of students that commented that any other professional field this would not be tolerated

crap happens, and words are blurted out....some people blurt more often than others.....I'll be the media would blush if they heard how our military boys converse out in the desert in Iraq....

The guys who talk about doctors obviously don't spend much time with them on a personal basis. Trust me, after their done doing your prostate exam they go in the back and laugh their a$$es off.

How about the mayor of Hiroshima Japan when he said, "what was that" ?

This is all so fucking stupid, if these dumb shits at the NTSB realized for two fucking minutes that this is what happens in all of the airplanes around the country then those big dicks wouldnt have made such a fucking big deal, god damnit, i cant believe this crap.

On the message board yes...not on my email.

We aren't behind closed doors when there is a CVR...why not throw the checklist away and see how much you can remember while your swearing like a sailor...

NoPax, they read the checklists.

Tell ya what. If you haven't read the transcript,
go do that and then come back to us.

It starts out thirty minutes out, mid cruise on
that leg, with a discussion of hair and beards.

I guess you have never bsed in cruise, never told
off color jokes or cussed the prop syncs or mentioned
people that you would rather not fly with.

You're a regular saint.

In the last six minutes there is a change in the
tone of the discussion, focused on the approach
and the nasty weather.

In the last two and a half minutes (about FAF inbound)the only cussing is 1) about the props
and 2) about the trees.

I find it sad that when everything was so normal
about everything but the last couple of minutes
that so little energy has been publicly focused
on that period of time and what went wrong
in them.

I am sorry that people are worried about the crew
discussing supper-"a Philly#cheese steak and an
iced tea." to use the ntsb's own censoring method.

Maybe it's easier to avoid the potty-mouth when you fly by yourself...TC

I hope this is after they wash their hands.



Belchfire: Good posts. I think you have exactly the right take on this.
