Mesaba Tool

[OttoPilot]

First of all, I am a Mesaba pilot so don't think I'm bashing anyone but one of my own.

Having said that.... Who is the tool that checked on with tower this morning with "Happy New Year, Mesaba 3470 on the "visible for the port side?"

Knock it off! You make us all look like idiots.

Also, whatever kind of voice impersination you were trying to do didn't work. You just sounded like a moron.

HaHa. What is Stu doing flying New Years day? He is pretty senior.

So I did a little digging and found out who it was. Obviously you now more than me because it was Stu M. What an F..in' idiot.

Priceless.

Please tell me this is not true.

Are some of the CRJ 900 pilots at Mesaba putting their epaulettes on upside down as an indication of “900” rank.

The pilot in question, (Stu "I need to consult with the Pro Stan Committee" M.) is a senior Captain.

I once commuted on one of his flights and was embarrassed to be associated with him after his PA announcements.

He may well have been one of the "chosen few" that were hired to fly the DHC-8 and wore the epaulettes in such a manner as to seperate themselves from their peers.

Someone's dorky/happy and you want to knock him down.

Got it.

Wow! It didn't take long for the 2009 Tool of the Year contest to begin...

Yeah. And first place goes too.......(drumroll).... to the guy that started this thread.

He was here before the Dash....

You must be constipated, or on your period. Who cares and does it really matter? Sheeeeeesh!!

Now before you start talking about people the word for today is IMPERSONATION. People who live in glass houses- you know the rest.

 

[LASaab]

Stu's a good guy. Little weird, but a good guy. Have some sense of humor. No reason to get worked up about it.

 

[SpauldingSmails]

I wonder if this was the same guy blasting through Memphis center last week... something to that effect every time he checked on, he was right behind us.

I just recall a lot of eye rolling and head shaking going on.

 

[SEVEN]

Stop Stu STOP!!!

S.M. PA's usually include the following:
Welcome aboard Mesaba Airlines, where we just know how to fly.

Shut up Stu.....the passengers wonder what the F you are talking about and you make us all look like douch* Bags.

Stop it I beg of you. You are not the Captain of a Carnival Cruise ship. Know one gives a crap that you know where the port side of a boat is or the stern for that matter. The DTW controllers are not impressed.
Please keep it professional out there......ok how about at least semi-professional.
Thanks.

 

[Jetjockey]

Stu was flying at Mesaba before many of you had your first pubes. Spend 25+ years at a regional, that will make anyone a little weird!

 

[XJohXJ]

He's a good guy. He just does what we all do: whatever it takes to get through the day. Have an extra beer tonight and forget about it.

There's nothing to gain by attacking other pilots.

 

[BoilerUP]

I personally find nautical terms FAR less immature and unprofessional than "cleared for the vaginal" like I heard more than a couple captains say before...

They actually said it on the radio, or just joking around in the cockpit?

Every Airline has their 3-5 Captains (or more then 5)that are just alittle on the odd side.

Once you've have been flying for awhile you'll learn that there's nothing you can do to change these Captains. How they act, how they fly the plane, how they talk on the radio, how they treat other people, how they have their weird tendencies to do wierd stuff, etc etc.

Bottom line is that many folks are different and when comes right down to it you really need to worry about one thing...... And thats yourself.

Worse thing you can do is let these people even get a rise out of you. They are who they are and if you don't like it or fight it then your just setting yourself up for a LONG 4 Day trip with them.

He must have missed the memo...

Sensible, logical, and otherwise civil discourse is not allowed here. You've been warned.


(excellent post...except I figure the "weirdo" percentage sits closer to 72.385%)

 

[say again]

I say stupid sh!t on the radio just to piss off others. I'm hoping one day that one of you will start a thread about me, then I know I did my job. Please don't have a heart attack over this though, it's merely to lighten the mood.

Then what would people post about on FI?

 

[flyboyike]

Know one gives a crap...

Priceless.

 

[prtyprtyprncss]

Stu wouldn't call you a tool...he's never had anything bad to say about anyone, and from the read I get on you you certainly would be a candidate...Stu's been doing the job faithfully and competently since before you sprouted the low hairs, so shut the @#$%^& up and aspire to do your job as well and long as Stu has...good bye and "have the day of your choice"!

 

[ArcherII]

Anyone heard the controller in Kansas City center that sounds like Cleveland from Family Guy? That'll make you about pee yourself.

 

[Flyer1015]

So some guy decides to have a little fun/spice up ATC announcements, and you throw a fit? Pull those panties out of your ***. I'd much rather fly with this kinda guy, laid back, having some fun, than some stuck-up-chip-on-shoulder-god's-gift-to-aviation type of Captains. And YOU know who those are.

 

[avrorj-85]

lighten up folks...

S.M. really is a good guy who would do anything for you. That being said the ATC stuff is really embarassing at times. The best I ever heard was when I was flying with him one day into DTW. We were flight #3555. He was the PNF and checked on the tower frequency with "Tower this is Mesaba three triple nickel on the visible for the port side over the Henry Ford Museum". I made him take all the radio calls once we landed because I did not want my voice in any way associated with that transmission. Every time I hear his voice on ATC I just look over at my FO and smile knowing that there is some FO in that plane that is just as embarrassed as I used to be! But beyond that S.M. is a safe, decent pilot. I guess being a captain is like being a parent. Every now and then you will embarass your kids. (or FOs)

 

[bouttime]

I personally have seen xj fo's wear their epelettes upside down. I had heard people were doing it so I have been on the lookout.
