Flight Crew Practical Jokes

[Limeyflyer]

I have seen the old posts about jokes played on flight crews. Does anyone have any new ones? They are usually entertaining.

I think USAPA is a good one...

Pinnacle

Pinnacle

What? Did the captain go up there to "f-in' 410 baby!" to play a joke on the FO? Ummm...yeah. Didn't think so. Totally different situation. There is a difference in being unprofessional, and being light-hearted. Most people have common-sense enough to know what not to do.

Sometimes I shut down #2 in cruise, just to break up the monotony. Fuel conservation initiatives! Get with the program.

maybe he meant Pinnacle as a whole is a joke


Don't know if it was posted - but if you take a "walk of shame" and on the way back, hit the FA's smoke detector test and it lights up the "lav smoke" in the ERJ's. FO's love that one. Not that I've ever done it.

Duct tape a guys flight case to the bag rack.

Works best if you have the time to use the entire roll.

on the ATR (ASA)...when my FO would be...eh hem..studying, I'd hit the fire test switch.

You gotta like and trust your FO though...otherwise some tool bag might run off and "I'm tellin".

Another one...we had a brand new ramper in DHN (on the ATR) give us a prop wash. Took the prop break off...poor kid. I made him wash all eight blades front and back. He was out there with a bucket of soapy water and a mop.

I had an FA turn in a roll of flight line to ops one day. This is when ops was still under concourse C (ASA).
