FBO etiquette

[CopilotDoug]

1. P.S, The csr's behind the counter. Leave them alone, because they think all of you are dorks trying to hit on them. You should hear what they say when you walk away.. I know because I'm there in my 'freight uniform' imp: for 5+ hours talking with them.

Do you feel threatened by this? If she's your girlfriend, that's one thing...but if you don't know either of them, who gives a $hit ?

How about the line tech who shows up early to work and sits in the pilots lounge and changes the channel as to watch the F'n Lakers!

I went to the bathroom and this guy changed the channel on me. I figured, ok, I left the TV controller unattended so it was my fault. About 1/2 later he puts on his work shirt and goes out to the ramp and goes to work. I had no idea that this guy worked there ... I just figured that he was an options pilot eating McD's wearing a grubby T-shirt.

I considered saying something to the manager, but figured this is a regular stop and in the end it would not do me any good.

There should be a man law against watching some crap TV show in a pilot lounge. Monk is not acceptable, Walker Texas Ranger is!.

I was surfing the crew lounge tv when I came across Scarface, edited for tv, I had to watch it and every crew that came into the lounge after that stopped in their tracks and watched it until a commercial break...that should be mandatory under the new man-law.

Also everyone has missed the most annoying FBO habit...that is people who don't wash their hands after they use the restroom and immediately make a bee-line for the otis spunkmeyer cookies and touching every one.

Watch out for this disgusting habit at FSI also...during break time the people who don't wash usually are the ones picking through the whole tray of bagels, donuts, pretzels, etc...I wouldn't eat any unpackaged food at an FBO or FSI

I totally agree with you. This A**h I flew with out of KMEI for 5 years never washed his hands after trips to the restroom. Then he would stand at the popcorn machine and eat directly out of the machine with his hands.

Now that's class.

Now that's class.

( Classless ) is more like it ! I have seen him at a salad bar sampling the choices with his hands before ever placing anything on his plate with the serving ware.

No wonder most of you live miserable lives. You whine and cry over anything. Unless the guy is trying to pinch a loaf in my flight bag, I really don't care what you do. If you do pinch the loaf in my bag, please atleast spray a little Fabreeze.

Female pilots don't even bitch about the crap ya'll do.
