Another time going into LGA;
35 miles south with new york approach control at 7000 in moderate icing. Chataqua checks on at eight, very excited,

CHQ: "New York Chataqua XYZ at 8000 Picking up Ice we need to decend now!"

NY: "Uh kay", -pause-, "traffic below you will have lower in 5 miles."

CHQ: -even more excited- "Negative, We need to GO UP OR DECEND NOW!"

NY: -agitated- "Chataqua decend and maintain 4000." -pause- "hey Colgan, you pickin' up ice at 7."

Me: -sarcastic- "UHHHH, yeah, Lil' bit, but we're certified"

NY: -laughter- "thanks! Colgan contact NY... 34.9"

Only thing I could figure, Cap'n was calling in range and 300 hr wonder pilot saw a lil' bit 'o ice one the window.

ca1900...classic.....you by chance fly for lakes in the past/present?

i always liked the "all balls" call for the altimeter setting(30.00)...even funnier when i heard chicks saying it....
 
Line ups complete...FO calls "We're cocked, locked, and ready to rock, Cap'n!" Hearing from a 65 yr. old contract pilot drove it home.
 
This works well for two guys flying together:

Lean over nice and close to the other pilot and say...."Have you heard about the gay pilot at (fill in your airline)". After he responds tell him "Give me a little kiss and I'll tell you who it is".
