new pet peeve...

[BoDEAN]

...FBO internet hogs!

theres normally only one computer available you nutjobs! check your mail, scan Climbto350, and get the F off the dam computer!!!

this freak from a certain undisclosed fractional provider who shall remain nameless (but starts with an N, ends with an S, and has ETJET in between) sat on that dam thing for 3 hours while numerous pilots filed in and out of the flight planning room, hoping he would get his skanky @$$ off.

...grrr

Was he surfing the internet dating sites? hah

I love being able to tell a controller "unable" when they want me under 200!

It's even better when you get to respond same to a request for less than 300.

"Uh...then just slow as much as able..."


Yup, here come the vectors from hell..

Listening to ORD online one night I heard

ORD: "United" (maybe it wasn't them...it's been a while) __ heavy, slow to ___ knots
United: Unable, running late.
ORD: Turn right heading 360
United: How long will we be on 360 heading?
ORD: Until you can slow to ___ knots
United: Slowing to ___ knots

Clearance delivery: N123AB, you're cleared to BFE as filed except change route to read....(routing not even remotely close to what you filed).

Then i'm not cleared as freakin filed!

maybe not as you filed....but something filed it that way...it's all relative...

I always enjoy the "advise ready to copy full route clearance"...

"I'm so happy, and I'm ready to copy the full route but I don't think I can contain myself..."

This sucks, but it's hilarious listening to a new stud trying to readback the new clearance. Woah there, stanley (slang for a student)...take 'er easy...deep breath...try to write it all down...RELAX

Jeez...you people complain about a 25 mile downwind at 170kts like its the plague. Obviously you've never flown into Philly...in fact my pet peeve are people that think if you go 10 knots fast when you've been speed assigned, you'll get in faster. Or people on the CRJ that go flaps 20 at 210 knots. Or people that slow to approach speed above 1500 feet. Basically anything that proves you are an inefficient pilot, regardless of how cool you look in your ray bans.

In fact, I know of a regional pilot group where half the pilots wear their sunglasses inside on a regular basis.

 

[AA717driver]

I hate anal-retentive people.

There are two rules in aviation:

1.) Don't sweat the small stuff.

2.) It's ALL small stuff.

2.) It's ALL small stuff.

except for people who say "with you"

(that otta get someone goin)

 

[Kream926]

just now i am adding john madden for this reason....
during a heated match between my roomate and i heres the inplay comentary by madden himself

"we'll one thing is for certain, the next play will be either a run, or a pass"

that and people who say "that may or may not be the case" - well what else would it be. that and people who wear socks with sandels

 

[urflyingme?!]

HAHAH this thread rules!
Bitememesa I think I have an idea who your talking about by your name...

 

[dseagrav]

Just got home dude, and saw your post.
One more word, and I'm going to Kamaehameha your a$$!!!!!!

I knew something was up! I was thinking "Maybe he's smart enough not to answer such a blatant troll... No, wait, he's a DBZ fan! He's probably just busy."

/schawing! ^_^

 

[bigD]

Jeeeeeebus the people that say, "Aaaaaaand" before every friggin radio call! Holy crap STFU! STFU! STFU!!!!

 

[Traveller Pilot]

All you guys read this and pray u don't grow up and be like him...lived through a few of these guys in the course of my career...bit my tongue and laughed at them...."you reap what you sow"...enjoy!!!!!

 

[AA717driver]

I didn't used to say "And..." before my transmissions... But I do now just to drive the Flightinfo'ers nuts!

Vegetto--My kid loves DBZ. I'm going broke buying "God cards" and Japanese Dueling Disks.

minitour--I liked the Olson Twins avatar better... TC

 

[jbDC9]

Or better yet, the long, drawn out "checkin' in, with you..."

Dunno, I guess it's cool to talk like that as a newly instrument rated pilot in a 172... but I hear airline guys say that crap here and there. Drives me nuts. That and guys who say "On the hold." What the hell does "on the hold" mean??

except for people who say "with you"

(that otta get someone goin)

 

[Snakum]

Aaaaaaaaaaand SnakumTheCorporateRentalSkyhawkCaptainForLife check'n in with you with new Pet Peeve ... aaaaaaaaaaand prepare to copy ....

Hugely obese, acne-scarred, ancient corporate pilot not even in uniform yet for the upcoming flight he can't stop yakking about with the corp FA and counter chick while I am patiently waiting to ask her if my ride is in yet cuz the ramp is full of Citations and old Hawkers and I don't see a light single anywhere.

This guy is gonna croak any day now, obviously ... so send him packing NOW ... upgrade his FO ... and let me yank the gear in the KA200. I need the multi, and I won't be a loud, overbearing, disgusting slob who panics the pax when they see what's flying their important @sses to TwatWad, Tennessee.

Aaaaaaand Minh is no longer with you and is check'n out

 

[dseagrav]

Oh, how about students who like to talk way too much on the radio?

Quoth the Instructor: "Most people are scared to use the radio."
But I'm a radio dork, so I use it way too much or say irrelevant things.

"Cessna Soandso-H is left base for..."
(Instructor points at nameplate - We have Cessna Whatever-F today. Soandso-H is also in the pattern, though.)
"Err, make that Cessna Whatever-F is left base for Runway Blah. You're you, we're us."
Instructor: "You seriously need to shut the hell up." (But not in those words.)

I thought I was bad about this, then I heard some guy trying to get a date with some broad over traffic for the next airport over...

 

[ifleyelearz]

Also...minus 10 points for saying the phrases:

1. Hotlanta
2. Got 'em on the fish finder
3. Level, flight level _____

 

[FreeFaller]

"Turn left to 180, slow to 210 and descend PD to 8 thousand, XYZ ahhhhhhhh 3 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 19"

"XYZ319, NO, Turn right to 210, slow to 180 and descend to 8000"

"ahhhhhhhhhhh, OK, got all of that, XYZ ahhhhhhhhhh3 ahhhhhhhhh19?"

Meanwhile you need higher or whatever and can't get a word in edgewise.

Gotta love it!

WhiskeyTango,Captainvegetto and EagleRJ in that order baby, in that order!

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Do I win something?

 

[dhc8fo]

BIIIIIIG fat a$$ captains who touch you with their belly when they pry themselves into the cockpit....I fly a dash-8. If you have ever been in a dash-8 cockpit, you know it is pretty freaking HUGE. There is no excuse for a fat body to be touching me!

 

[jbDC9]

But is it okay to call Memphis Center "Melvis"?

 

[Catbert]

Stupid pilot jargon. Especially from low time pilots.

maybe you look good to them

 

[DCitrus9]

How about the guy that insists on saying "123 Sugar Charlie" even though center keeps calling him "Sierra Charlie" We just kept laughing at him, so it maybe not as much pet peeve as just dorky pilot.

 

[LewisU_Pilot]

Instructors that leave me mid training.

Instructor 1 Comair
Instructor 2 Chicago Express
Instructor 3 Fired
Instructor 4 Skyway
Instructor 5 Airnet
Instructor 6 Iraq
Instructor 7 Pregnant (I must give her props though. She is due on Monday and trying to finish me up in the twin.)

I guess it isn't a bad thing they are moving on. It just stinks because it takes forever to get a new instructor and back into the swing of things.

 

[HiFlyChick]

I'm having a good chuckle now remembering a few of my past F/Os and their "...a-a-a-and XYZ's with you at 8000" : )
After flying with these guys a lot I found myself saying "...and..." a few times and always thought afterwards "And what, I haven't talked to them before, how can I and them?!?"

My pet peeve, when my brain clicks off in the middle of my call. Example of an actual call sign error I made:
On tower freq: "Tango-unicorn-victor's ready for take-off runway 24"
On intercom only: "Did I just say unicorn?!

 

[wingnutt]

...when my brain clicks off.

heh...thats a whole other thread
