Too good to do a walkaround FO????

[Bluestreak]

Here we go! If I had a penny for everything I've heard that.. and then we wind up with mediocre pilots that have no place in aviation because "She" looks good.

btw.... I enjoy doing the walk around, I think it's almost the highlight of a flight.. getting up close and personal with one's airplane!

Yeah...that and on the ramp,no one can hear you cut the cheese.

Just remember big fella, the APU exhaust is an outlet only.

Not if you use hydraulic (lube) fluid!

I don't know about you, but I can silence that APU with an Air Biscuit

You rub a little Skydrol on your little F/O and let me know how that feels.

The walk around is the best, part you get away from the capt that only complains about his job (should move on instead of B!tch) and the flt att that complains about everything (I always let the bad ones know that no waitress makes more than they do, no waitress gets flt benefits, and no waitress gets medical). been called in twice for that comment and the chief pilot laughed

I was flying with a MALE FO that rarely did the preflight, yeah at this company it was the FOs duties. One day, it was raining, and he comes out to the plane late, and sits in his seat, without doing the preflight. We boarded the pax and the FA closed the door. The first thing on the checklist was "preflight...............complete". I questioned him on his "doing the preflight", he said, "its raining". Had him open the cabin door and go do a preflight.

Lets just say, he wasnt my favorite FO, and I wasnt his favorite captain.

Just when you thought you've heard it all............

I flew with a (male) FO who didn't want to do the walk around because he had hair gel in his hair and was going to meet his girlfriend. He was afraid his spike gel hair would collapse making his hair flat. God forbid ..the ego is just as bad with the guys.

 

[pgcfii2002]

Was he with Mesa?

 

[acaTerry]

Maybe they should put a poncho in that backpack.

I hear there is a female PSA FO based CLT that feels she is too good to do a walk around. Has anyone ever flown with her before? any stories?

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. I always have the "B" F/A do my walk around.

 

[Uncle Bunkle]

I was told she is a blonde with 4 inch black roots and needs a drink after logging IMC.. what?????

Her initials L.B.?
