What's the dumbest thing a crew has ever asked or requested?

Elaborate please....

I think he was joking

 

[flyjumpseat]

I had a captain call and ask if there was a flow program into KORD.
----"Here's your sign"

sports scores...every weekend!

And a burger order relayed to an outstation for a late running flight one night.
Whatever makes the big bird go smooth.

Here we go...

 

[PunchTheClown]

Trust me, we think your all idiots. I cant remember how many times I've had to correct a dispatcher. Thank god pilots are in control, otherwise we'd all be in trouble.

 

[405]

Thanks, Punch.

 

[UALfurloughee]

Uh, I don't think you are idiots, and I appreciate your help...

That said, UAL used to have a provision in the FOM (which makes it law) that if there was a forecast for CB you did need an alternate, regardless of the 123. Maybe that sheds light on that one?

Thanks for the scores by the way!

Actually, that was pretty funny

Do the world a favor and go dive headfirst into a Trent900 running at full blast. Sorry pieces of arrogant crap like you don't deserve to be pilots. You don't even deserve to be alive. NOw make yourself useful and wipe my butt you scumsucking recessive trait.

Ok, here's a few for you:

1. Didn't happen to me, but a Captain called asking a dispatcher to copy a page out of the AFDs and fax them to him. Only, he asked that the dispatcher first punch holes in the copies before faxing them over so that he could clip them directly into his Jeps.

2. Had a Captain insist that SPI was in Missouri and flew to SGF instead. Imaging explaining that one to your Chief Pilot.

3. Had a Captain call yesterday saying he was a new Captain and that he didn't understand what "flow" was.
