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.

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



[insert cricket noise here]
 
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. ;)
 
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! ;)
