If I hear one more "brief"...

[doh]

Since it's the playoffs, I will end my briefs with "Go Bolts!" Will that be alright with you?

If it bothers you so much, then ask a few questions after he asks if you have any questions. For instance:

"Any questions?"
"Yeah I have a few"

1. "What's the second highest obstacle in the vicinity of the airport?"
2. "Is radar required to shoot this approach? I noticed you didn't mention whether or not it was"
3. "Will you be carrying an extra few knots above Vref+5 throughout the flare, and should I call out your airspeed deviations?"

 

[TOOL CRIB]

Just say "The end." Just like a children's book.

I prefer "and they lived happily ever after" myself

I do.

I think we all have our pet peeves about this job, this happens to be one of mine.

The real issue I have is the "broken record" part. After 4 days of hearing it, you can usually tell if this person has applied any real thought to what they just said.

If someone has a question about what was said, they will ask it.


You guys carry on with your fun remarks.

how about people who make their briefs so long that you lose track of all time and contemplate stabbing yourself in the eye.

I once had a CA (on a PHL to PIT flight) start her brief (ILS 28R in PIT, WX was 25000 scat and 10+ mi vis) east of the Susquehanna River and when she finally shut up we were west of Altoona. Damn brief lasted 2/3's the length of the state of PA.

I'm "with you."

 

[Trcb777]

I stopped asking "any questions" about a year ago. After 5 years, no one ever had a question. If someone does, i'm sure they will let me know.

Hahahahahaaaaaa! Being a Pennsylvanian myself, I am LOLing at this!!!

Someday when you're First Officer, you don't have to end your brief with "Any Questions?"

 

[JettBoii]

I don't even ask "any questions or anything to add" anymore.

"how about people who make their briefs so long that you lose track of all time..."

Technically, this is not a "brief", but rather a "long". ; )

 

[Little_Bill]

I have a question.
Are hats required for this approach?

 

[clr4theapch]

No creative swearing.. please.. I would move this, this tribble.. but where is the problem.. You could be briefing your family on todays job search.. maybe that would be better for ya..

Clr4 Mod..

The Captain should end a briefing by striking the cockpit floor with his spear:

[Plainsman]

Costanza!

 

[CX880]

If I hear one more brief, be it any kind, that ends with "Any questions???"

I'm going to go CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you not think of any other way to end it???

Is anyone else tired of hearing this?

Kinda like "Sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm...






















with you and checking in to roger your sentiment. Any questions?

 

[Abernathy]

A long captains intro brief is worse.

 

[BOX OFFICE]

A long captains intro brief is worse.

"I'm laid back, but I like to fly standard".

First, you have to get them to take the iPod earbuds out, then.....
