Nasty Chief Pilots

[tracearabians]

This idiot I flew with out of KMEI considered himself to be " a man of integrity and a true warrior for the Lord " but would actually steal time off the airplane for personal little side trips. Usually to do something for his 30yo inept son.

The " Boss" I flew with won the King A-Hole, and Crazy individual award, this guy I worked with takes the cake..............Too many stories to pass along, it would take days of typing.........

He had mental issues, among everyother issue known to man!!! I had enough, and escaped with my sanity and life!!!!

I may have to write a book or make a movie about my times.........

Unbelievable!!!!

This dick head I flew with had the personality of a styrofoam cup!!

MUUUAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's gotta be the funniest thing I've heard this week.

I hated having those 2 or almost 3 hour legs and nothing but silence. Talk about uncomfortable. I mean, I'm not like a woman that needs to talk every single second but come on man. Have something interesting to talk about, give me a joke or something...enough with the "well, ummm, here we are"

surely a styrofoam cup!!

Had a check airmen at Southern Air like that, imagine a 10 hour trip and not a friggin word from the captain unless I said something or it was an operational reason for opening his mouth. He was a dickhead. Good thing I had a FE there to talk to.

A chief pilot is just like anything else in life. He may have good and bad tendencies but 90% of it is how YOU deal with him. Positive behavior breeds more positive behavior.

Positive behavior also threatens some chief pilots and that'll make them more of an azzhole or make them fire you.

You are 100 % correct 747. They seem to be a very insecure bunch !!:beer:

I hate the guys that sit in the left seat and pick their nose and then wipe the dingleberries on the yoke. I mean come on ! I'm sitting right there, it's not like I cant see you!!

Oh ... umm ...sorry. :erm:





Wait. You said "left seat"? OK ... nevermind.

I don't know if you would call this guy NASTY, but he does have some quirks.
Been married 4 or 5 times.
Wants to go the opposite direction you request for weather. Always
Suc35ks in training and thinks he is breaking the bank in the sim! Tries to give you tips, instructor finally has enough and hints that you are doing better than he. Brags when he gets home about how he done.
Well off course on low app and will not listen to directions. Later complains that equip is out of "calibration" when he sees runway. Its a GPS.
Thinks airline pilots "Don't have safe procedures" and are terrible pilots,Repeats daily.
Private pilots will ALL soon kill themselves.
VLJets will finish the rest off.
When you are flying left seat, he pulls out the checklist and almost screams OK! Some type of control issue, commanding from the RIGHT seat(we are both typed and same amount of time in type).
Two pilots in our dept but he plays the chief thing to the hilt. No management skills.
Hates pilots who are making a good salary! I love to hear it.

My rant here is done!

can you imagine having a captain and a FE with zero personality?!?!?!

AAAAAHHHHH!!!

 

[tracearabians]

Sounds just exactly like this character I flew with in Meridian, Ms.


1.NO ( zero ) personality
2.No management skills
3.No social skills
4.Flying smarts almost nil when comes to weather
5. Very loud mouthed and obnoxious
6. Is exactly what my father would have referred to as a "blivet". Ten pounds of s**t in a 9 pound bag .

F200, Home base first flight of day, waiting on ramp guy to complete the fueling
I returned to the cabin to grab my pen
CP storms out of the building and screams at me that I'm not monitoring the fueler.

Same CP grabbed the plates in my lap just before landing to pick up first pax(CEO no less), says I don't have them in the correct order, leans back between the seats and flings the papers back into the cabin...they scatter like snowflakes all over the seats.

Has one of his captains so scared to make decisions on his own...that while out on the road this captain calls home to get instructions on how to handle the emergency(gear not up on takeoff) during the emergency. He's on the SAT phone with the CP while ATC's asking our intentions.

LOL, just like my last job...I always felt like I couldnt make decisions worth a dime b/c from the begining of the employment "nothing was done right". The problem was that I was so worried about making "wrong" decisions, which now I know were right that I just wouldnt make any decisions what so ever which made matters even worst. I wasnt affraid of losing my job, I was more affraid of getting the career reputation of the guy who beats the sh*t out of CPs.

Now that I'm at my new job I feel so much more at ease, all the captains I have flow with now have been very happy with my performance and decision making that they are really looking forward in recommending me for an upgrade. (true story)

This numb nuts that I speak of actually told me he looked in the purse of the owners wife one day when she left it on the plane so he could check out her checkbook balance!

Genius at Meridian would be descending through 10k at 275kts and never start pulling back the power. Red line below 10 is 265. When the overspeed horn goes off he says " we need to get that fixed "
