If it's not on a teleprompter, I'm not going to say it...
I guess there are two kinds of pilots out there:
1. The dude who thinks the FAA is watching him at all times, that his F/O will NARC on him, and that the F/A, the pax, and the rampers all are out to get him. This guy will do everything by the book, and judges anyone that doesn't as an inferior pilot. He judges one's flying skills by knowing procedures verbatim and never veering off. This dude is usually called the "anal guy who no one wants to fly with".
2. The dude who is not afraid of his shadow and understands the regs and follows them because he wants to be safe, not because they are simply written in a manual. He understands that veering off regs is ok sometimes, as using his judgement is what he's paid for. This individual is considered the "laid back" guy who many of us strive to be - of course, not all

If you can't say "Center, ABC XXX two-seven zero descending wun wun thousand" in less than 3 seconds to New York, Cleveland or whoever, swallow the dry bagel in your mouth, take a swig of water then TRY.
That goes for the time stamp in the hold, too, for chrissake. ::shaking head in disbelief::
What's the proper phraseology for....
"Hey center, does anyone have the Steelers' score?"
Correct radio call:
"And Center, Flight xxx out of two phife oh for one tree thousand. Good evening."
Well, I guess we know which group you represent.
Welcome aboard, you dust-farting dinosaur. :laugh:
