Mesaba Tool

[WMUSIGPI]

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.

Have you called any of these supposed clowns out?
Or at least got their names and forwarded them to pro-stans? Or just log on here and make trouble???

"Tower this is Mesaba three triple nickel on the visible for the port side over the Henry Ford Museum".

LMAO! What's wrong with this?! I think it's hilarious. Much better than the "with you for visual 21L."

No kidding, at least someone knows where the heck they are in visual conditions....

I was on the people mover in MSP and he was coming out of the gate, and was too far away to say anything. I would have gone up and made fun of him had the opportunity arose.

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

His name is Stu and he is a dork. Stuck at the regionals for a reason.

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.

PFT_128? Oh, wait...you said captains...disregard.

Be glad he is just a dork. There is a captain here that verbally abuses ATC at every chance he gets. Its interesting to wonder if you will be put in a endless hold every time you fly with him.






MESA SUCKS

I'm going to guess that is a MEM street captain since this is the first I've heard of this and have never heard it on the radio.

You know what's funny? None of you have the guts to tell Stu off....but y'all like to talk crap about him. I for one get along with Stu, yeah he can be annoying just like every other XJ pilot. He's been the same person I know for the last 14 years and guess what he doesn't plan to chnage. He'll be here when you leave Mesaba too! So stop your bitching or better yet man up and tell him what you think of him instead of being a b**** and writing it here!

He's worth keeping around just for all his interesting writeups... How do you think the nonslip rudder pedal pads and pen holders got put on the Saabs? Nobody else ever writes that stuff up. How many of you write up the lights on the yoke chart holders on the CRJ. Not many cause every time I get in one it seems there's only 1 bulb working (barely at that).
We should loan him to Pinnacle. Within a week they'd be so sick of all his writeups they'd have a new good contract just to send him back here.

preemptive edit: Yes, I have asked him about the writeups. He's quite proud of them. He is like a kid in a candy factory anytime he (or the rest of the crew) finds anything to writeup.

Sounds like expressjets 3 Cups. Lot of people talk bad about him too, but at the end of the day hes a good guy.

I have called one out but did not do it with the tack and finesse that I hear awhile ago in the crew room

"I see your wearing your eppilettes upside down, you do know of course that that is the universal sign for alternative lifestyle pilots"

I almost shot diet coke out of my nose!

I fly out of DTW and i am so sick of "stu" its one thing to do it once and awhile, but this guy says these things every single flight

Like the write up:
"Cockpit floor is too dusty/dirty, if rapid depressurization occurs the poor visibility in the cockpit will make it hard to see."

When maintenance came on the airplane they basically told him to F-off and clean the floor himself.
Some guys just don't get it. The sad truth is he actually is serious when he writes this crap up. That's whats so disturbing about it. I wonder if he cares that the Mechanics have more important things to do then replace pen holders that nobody uses?
Answer: He cannot comprehend that his actions are completely foolish and inapropriate.
Some folks will never get it.

But at the end of the day he's no "Ice Cream Man" or Crabtree.

I agree. I think it's time for Dale ot Joe to make a phone call. It's representing the company in a negative manner. You can't say "Clear to land on the Port side" every time you land at DTW. Enough is enough.
