That dog never has been quite right.

One I like is the "onboard ATM."

Some of our aircraft have ACARS printers in the center pedestal even though we don't have ACARS. It is easy to replace the paper roll in the printer with a $20, $50 or $100 bill. Several bills can be taped end to end with scotch tape.

When a FA comes in the cockpit, one of the pilots complains about being out of cash and needing to find an ATM ASAP upon arrival. The conversation goes on about the difficulty of finding an ATM in the terminal that isn't too far away, broken, etc.

The other pilot says something like "Why bother looking for an ATM? Why don't you just use the onboard ATM?" The broke pilot says "Good idea. I forgot about the onboard ATM."

He then inputs some numbers on the CDU/MCDU scratchpad and line selects them somewhere(where they will "do no harm.") After a few seconds he slides his hand back to the ACARS printer and surreptitiously presses the SLEW button causing the printer to feed out the bill(s.)

The FA usually can't wait to tell her friends in the back about the "onboard ATM."

While the FO is heading to the back, the Captain asks for an expedited descent to FL230. He gets it, noses over, hits the speed brakes, and goes to flight idle. Turns around to see the FO pinned to the ceiling for about 2 minutes if done properly.

You realize that after 2 minutes in a sustained negative g pushover, your vertical speed woud be about 240,000 fpm, don't you?

That must account for the 10 hours it took to get from ORD to STL

But the story was so good without all your highfalutin' "facts!"

The captain was bored one day we were flying our 6th leg so said he had an idea so crawled down that hole in the E&E compartment behind the captain's seat in the MD80. He then said to call the flight attendant up and tell her to go back and find him to answer a controllers question

She went back and five minutes later came up and said he wasn't back there. So of course I looked at her and said I was serious that I needed him. I tapped on the floor and he came up and was sitting in his seat when she came up the next time. The airline no longer exists by the way.

I was told a story by my former chief pilot once... he used to work at Eastern. Shortly after being hired, he flew with a captain that took the "gearup, shutup" concept to a new level.

Right after takeoff, he would turn to the my boss and say you have it. Then go to the back and read the paper in first class until he heard the gear come down on approach. At which point he would fold up the paper, reenter the cockpit and land the plane.

Well after about 3 weeks of this, my boss gets reassigned for a round. When he comes back, the captain doesn't leave the cockpit... instead he sits there pissed off, not saying a thing.

Turns out the replacement FO was a real senior dude that didn't put up with any of that BS. Shortly after the CA left the FO went back and sat down next to the CA and read the paper...


Another good one came when I was jumpseating on a Mesaba Airlines flight. We were in a Saab 340, taxiing behind a Northwest DC9. ATC asked us to pull up as close to the 9 as possible so that traffic could get behind us on the taxiway.

Somehow the NWA crew figured out that we were behind them, so they decided to have some fun and start revving the engines so we get buffeted around a bit. The captain of the Saab gets pissed, so he shoves the props into BETA and starts revving back at the 9. I guess it was enough to cause some spurious engine indications cuz a few seconds later the NWA crew reported some questionable engine readings and returned to the gate. Talk about Karma!

I pretended to be dead once. My FO was pissed. I bought the beer.

 

[bubbers44]

We both played dead for the flight attendant when she was concerned about a sandwich shop at BUR that we had just eaten at that made her sick the week before. We didn't answer any of their calls for coffee so when they found their spare key and opened the cockpit door we were both slumped over. He snickered so it didn't last long. Probably pushed that one a bit. Same out of business airline on left coast.

A 1900 crew was assigned to taxi to a runway in PIT. On the taxi, ATC advises a MD 80 to hold short for the 1900. The Mad Dog Crew blatently passes that hold short and turns in front of the 1900. The 1900 captain was furious! He reports this to ATC. The controller scolds the Mad Dog crew but allows the MD 80 to stay in the spot. As the MD 80 pulled into position and hold, the 1900 crew reported, "Looks like the MD80 has some ice on the tail." Needless to say, the Mad Dog crew returned to the wash for another round while the 1900 crew continued on. I believe the word for that is " touche' ".

If you're in a seniority system, never do that - it gets everyone's hopes up.
