just flew a 3-day with "special radio voice guy"...

I've noticed the Brits can really 'turn it up' when they need to also.

You mean they're a crown prince on the radio but a chimney sweep off the air?

Blame Slim Pickens. His character in "Dr. Strangelove" set the standard for what all pilots should sound like.

Dr. Strangelove never sounded like this

Loved the flick; hated to see Darth Vader killed. Precious bodily fluids indeed...

Was he in San Juan yesterday? because I heard him.

 

[Flopgut]

Normally he sounds like a basic midwestern American upper middle class college-educated white-guy D-bag...

but, when he keys the mic his voice suddenly goes all gravel and east Texas twang. Sometimes it's gravel + nasal at the same time (didn't think that was even possible). Sometimes it's just the east Texas twang but it comes out sounding like he's got a face full of Novocain.

On FI he uses the name Redflyer

Was he wearing cowboy boots?

 

[Freebrd]

Nah that was the chick who people think is British because she uses a made-up British accent, but she does wear cowboy boots and a thong, usually a different color daily, even one that matches her snakeskin boots (a real turn-on in the room on layovers)

As my Dad got progressively more wasted last night and started speaking in a dialect unnatural to his native tongue, I told a story about a Captain I had to fly with (10+ years ago) who ordinarily sounded like a typical California bro', bro', but when talking on the radio he got all Smokey and the Bandit. With egos so fragile, it is difficult to mention the discrepancy. But ugh, yeah, soooooo annerrying.

Last week the guy I flew with sounded like Bruce Jenner (the new, improved version).
