Things Crew Members do to annoy you - Post em Up

[HawkerF/O]

Roger that. I can remember being in college and we'd be out some place and there would always be someone from the aviation program talking about some war story he went through in a 152 or 172.
" The skies were rough that day I tell ya; ROUGH! As we lined up on runway ninER, you didn't hear me, I said as we lined up on runway ninER, the Ka-nute-er value signed off for the final time my friends. There I was, all alone, having to put this bad boy down in 6 knot winds that were blowing straight down the runway. That;s right, the wind was trying to keep me from landing, but I tamed that fierece wind with full upwind aileron deflection, blah, blah, blah............."

I will say I never heard the female pilots telling stupid stories like that. They seem to know how gay that sounds I guess. I never really tried to impress some honey by telling her I was a pilot, I just figured they probably woulnd't believe it or they were a pilot too! Happened once, and I have not been back there since. Now, where did I put my JET Keys?

Funniest post of the day. And unfortunately, there are those types in aviation. One of my friends who bartended while going to UND, told me stories of all the UND male flight students that would go to the bar, and apparently just do nothing but talk about aviation, and would either ignore the women or not know how to talk to them.

I just wish FOs would make the call before we get to the spot. I hate stopping when there is no need to.

 

[HawkerF/O]

Not an F/O anymore, and for that matter, don't fly the Hawker anymore either, but what's the hurry? So you have to stop; sounds like the F/O has been trained well. Being in a hurry will get you into more trouble than most other issues. Slow it down and give youself a chance to see what you might have missed.

"Got em on the fish finder"
"In the box"
"Here comes the flash"
"Sugar Sugar"

Just a few annoying ones I can think of.

Hold on,

If there weren't these va-GINORMOUS tool sacks in the world of aviation, what on earth would everyone on flightinfo have to talk(/complain) about?

[LegacyDriver]

Is this thread turning serious? Hmmm.

Okay, two dumb ones and one real one. "American's 592..." or "Northwest's 504..."

"With you..."

And Bull F/Os who flip switches without asking first (unless they are part of an approved flow). When I'm turning off the taxiway I do not like the guy to just reach up and shut down number two without asking first, particularly when we haven't even had the required cooldown time on the clock yet...

When I'm in the right seat I try to make it a habit to never do something without asking the guy in the left if that's what he wants, unless I've been briefed/trained otherwise beforehand.

Oh, and I hate, "LINE UP AND WAIT." Hey ICAO, eat me.

 

[G100driver]

As long as we are being anal retentive dorks tonight .. how saying "on the hold" instead "position and hold."

WTF does "on the hold" mean anyhow.

And yea, I cannot stand when Americans go to ICAO countries and use their coloquialisms!

 

[clydefastly]

You want to know what grinds my gears.....
When your on Boston or New York or Washington Center, at the busiest time of the day, and you've been trying to check on for a good 5 minutes and some toolbag in an RJ cuts in to ask the score of the game. The problem is that it is usually a bad game like Browns vs Jets, or WNBA or something from the "OCHO". If your going to waste everyones time, at least make it count!!!!!
oh.. and guys who don't know when to use "Roger" vs "Affirmative".

Roger that?

Obsessive heading bug centerers?

 

[Rythm3]

Obsessive heading bug centerers?

Ok....Guilty as charged on that one.

 

[semperfido]

Obsessive heading bug centerers?

been doin that obsesive/compulsive behavior for years- handed down over the years and watched as other pilots caught that bug (no pun intended). Its nasty and tough to get rid of.

Ok, was flying with another CA and all he wanted to do was quiz me on memory items, SOP's, etc, etc. All important stuff, but do not need a quiz while flying.

Yeah but think about how you helped his Ego if you missed any items.

Mean crewmembers. This is just one of the things they do. There is always one mean guy in every flight department. 2 + divorces. Lonely. Upset at everything. Browbeating FO's all day because this is the only way they can find meaning in the world.

I have been chewed out on so many occasions by one CA in particular. I flew with the guy for over two years. If I couldn't be reached at all times on the cell he would yell at me.

One very early morning at OAK I had finished cleaning the cabin, pre flight, clearance, ice, coffee and newspapers. No help. No worries though because I don't have to deal with CA gumpypants.

I head to the bathroom. No cell service in the bathroom. CA grumpy calls. I have my cock in my hand. I know I have to pick up so even though I have my cock in one hand I try and answer the phone. Just so I can get through one morning without being yelled at. No service so I cant answer. He calls again so quickly it puts his original call on hold and new call is active still no service. I finish peeing and head out of the bathroom.

CA grumpy is looking for me in the pilots lounge. "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU". Ect. ect. ect. This arse was ex airforce (another big peeve of mine) so he felt dressing downs were socially acceptable. A 10 min browbeating complete with how stupid I was. Keep in mind I had been dealing with this for over 2 years.

So as always I calmly said I was sorry but at that moment I decided I was going to floor this guy so hard if he spoke with me like that again that morning. I was really going to punch him as hard as I could and knock him on his ass. I have been in a few fights out surfing so I know how to fight. I also decided since I would loose my job I would give him an ass kicking he would never forget. I mean full on beat down on the ramp. I was planning on kicking him in the face a few times. Just so he would look all ********************ed up when or PAX showed.

I really had it all planned out. Take the airporter home. Call the dispatcher and say how sorry I was. Tell them to just fire me then and that I would deal with the legal issues later. I would have done it too.

The guy most likely doesnt even know how close he came to making me snap. I don't have to fly with him anymore.

So keep that in mind all you CA. Esp. if you have a guy that works as hard as he can for you at all times.

Very, very true.. This particular CA is notorious for "trying" to make himself feel superior by showing us his "knowledge". All he is really doing is making himself look like a complete a$$, while losing the respect of ALL the pilots at the company.

CA: So...What's the Memory items for ahhh... an Evacuation???

You: Are you a Check Airman?

CA: No

You: Am I getting Line Checked?

CA: NO

You: Then FUQ OFF!!!

Is this a joke or what?
