Mesaba Tool

When I was at Eagle we had a captain like this, his nickname was professor, as he insisted that he was a professor at Auburn University in his free time. Oh and also that he invented the space shuttle windows. His initials are C.S.

I thought Al Gore invented Space Shuttle windows. Actually, I thought he invented the whole Space Shuttle.

Wow, this is a bit over the top...every place has its nutters, but this guy actually cares enough to do his job and seems interested in making it more enjoyable (if only for himself) and you guys jump on it? I don't know, but listening to the barrage of idiots screwing up everything in sight on the radio is much more annoying than a goofball on the air who knows what he's doing.

 

[Crizz]

Stu is just like Richard Simmons. He annoys the hell out of everyone around him, but at the end of the day you're just jealous you're not as happy as he is.


"Be jovial!"

AMEN!!! Post of the year :beer:

Although it is only Jan 6th, so lots of time to come up with a better post!

Heard this on tower in DTW. Wx was down to minimums.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAY tower how you doin? XXXX with you on the invisible on the right Syyyyde with rocks star parking at CXX."

I was embarassed for who ever was flying with him.

 

[4fanman]

I've spent many hours in the cockpit with Stu and have been utterly embarrassed more than once. They were very frustrating and it's no exaggeration about the stuff he say's over the radio or the stuff he rights up. After a while, I just politely turned down his request to radio in to mx about the pen holders. He was cool with it and did it himself.

But I tell you what, he's the nicest guy in the world and would do just about anything for you if you needed it. I've never seen him mad or upset and he's a great stick.

Of course, it's easy for me to say now that it's been a few years since I had to do 3 back to back 8 hour days with him.:laugh:

I still hear him on the radio once in a while as he's hard to miss.

Here's to you Stu, ya dork.:beer:

Suck it, Stu.

Having flown with my fair share, I will never understand the mental midgets who feel the need to deviate from standard procedures and add their own "twist" in an effort to stand out. Face it, there are some people who, for lack of a better term, "ain't right."

Stu, you're contributing nothing to the career but a lack of professionalism.

You are right. I think it's about time we make some calls to pro-standards. His radio phraseology is unprofessional at best. It's time he becomes a professional pilot. If he wants to pull the General aviation weekend warrior crap, he needs to throw in the towl. But as long as he wants to work at a professional carrier, he needs to shape up or ship out.
Enough is enough!

Question...

How many of you Mesaba pilots have, or are willing, to personally express your feelings to him face-to-face?

 

[xjhawk]

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.

You are a tool, number one, he is a good guy, you most likely are not. Number two, when he is PIC, and decides to write something up, his choice. End of conversation. If you have a problem with a guy, take it to him or if you think there is a bigger issue, take it to pro standards. Some guys are too big of a tool to figure things out, stu is not one of them. those of you who do, have already gotten the call from a pro standards guy.

Why don't you get a job at a Professional Carrier?

A professional carrier?....are you smoking crack?

What a @#%$# tool.

Sir, your indoc has GHB in the PBE.

"At Mesaba Airlines: We know how to get high." "I mean fly."

Are you kidding? If that was the case, prostans needs a couple of hundred other calls for all the "professionals" and their radio ettiquet.
I'll take Stu any day of the week, at least he's joking about it, the others don't even know what they're doing/saying.

The Mesaba pilots nominate you to confront him.

There are many over the years who have confronted him. He doesn't care. He's in his own world and doesn't give a crap about the guy/gal he's flying with. He comes to work to goof off on the PA and on his radio transmissions with ATC. He has been doing it for years and will not stop. Hopefully he will come to his senses someday and keep the foolish radio talk to once a day. 3-5 times a day over a decade or two is enough. We get the point Stu. Everyone gets the point. Please stop on behalf of all of the carriers that fly into the Red tail hubs. I know I speak for the mass majority.

This case is much different. This is a continuing problem and it seems to be getting worse. If a pilot is brand new to the world of flying (250-500 hrs.) they say things on the radio that sound retarded all the time. They will learn with experience. Stu knows better.

I know lots of people are annoyed, but have never once heard anyone complain about him not being safe.

How about getting rid of the dispatcher some call "GERBIL" instead?

Don't work there and don't have a problem with his "behavior"....sorry to disappoint.

Just enjoying the FI.com Internet Tough Guys who talk a ton of sh!t about somebody but won't say anything to them directly.

 

[McNugget]

You should all wear your epaulets backwards, in protest! That will teach him!

Safety is not the issue, it's professionalism. He is representing an entire group of pilots in a negative manner. When pilots of other carriers ask me if that was just a new "9" pilot on the radio acting like an idiot I have to tell them "no," it's actually a senior Captain with the company. The only response is a roll of the eyes and disbelief. It's truly Sad. I can't say it enough. I apologize to anyone who has to experience it. We're doing are best to resolve the issue.
