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

[Mr Wu]

So, you acknowledge that you declaring an emergency and being unable to contact the crew is BS so you use my post to illustrate how ATC may not be able to contact us and will ask you to help. Just like Occam's razor says, no matter who declares the emergency the guy in the left seat has the last say in what happens with the flight regardless of what they told you at Sheffield.

Yep:

Arguing on the Internet

 

[bgaviator]

the dumbest thing? just one?

Well, I have crews quite frequently want to change their alternate because it's not where the owners want to go in the even of a diversion...
#1. They aren't obligated to go to their listed alternate.
#2. I don't pick alts. based on where the owners want to go. I'm here for the safety of the flight.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I know there are some "winner" Captains out there. I flew with some of them.

My most memorable conversation with a Dispatcher was when he suggested I could get around the level 4 and 5 thunderstorms by going through the level three's. I asked if he ever flew through a level three thunderstorm. He said no. I suggested he come on down to the gate and he could ride with us through the level three's. He did not show up and we did not depart until the TR's passed.

Enough Of This Lame A$$ Thread

How long is this going to continue....we all run into stupid situation and poor decesions made.....get over it, and work with each other...try walking in the others shoes and practice some leadership skills and talk things out when there is a question...

 

[badlander45]

WE ARE NO MORE OR LESS IMPORTAMT THAN YOU PILOTS

Which is exactly the point that I am making!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its just that some of you are hung up on this authority to declare an emergency thing!

Really.... I can do my job without any dispatchers, can you do yours without any pilots?

Really... you must be flying 135 or supplemental.

Perhaps you could but you certainly wouldn't fly as much. I can see you now coming in after every leg to run a flight plan, file your fp, review all weather, check the atc system for gdp/ground stops/reroutes(playbooks), etc(which is much more).It is crazy the pissing fight dx and pilots get in. Dispatchers and pilots need to work as a team it benefits all. There is enough comic relief on both sides.

I'd like to see you file a flight plan, especially an ICAO one...

 

[CA1900]

There isn't an airline pilot here who hasn't filed his own IFR flight plans. We've had plenty of experience in that department.

You mean one of these? Intimidating........

Mr Wu, that's an international flight plan and is also known as an ICAO flight plan. Flight Simmer's like yourself don't have to file things like this from the basement at Mom's house when you file your virtual airline flight plan. As always, get your Mom's permission before you use the computer.

 

[doh]

I had a captain tonight demand an alternate because in his FAR's said that FEW005 constitutes a ceiling and he needed to know where to go if he couldn't get in.

The same captain, several months ago, "instructed" me that the 1 2 3 rule also states that an alternate is required if there are CB's in the forecast.

I must have missed these changes to the rules.

The dumbest thing a crew ever asked was why Michigan couldn't have a second chance to play for the national championship! The second dumbest thing ever was when an Ohio pilot wanted to bet me on the Gators osu national championship! Hahaha! Losers! :laugh:

I can pretty much guarantee that I've filed more of those than you've flown. How come nearly all of you dispatchers are either pilots or are taking flight lessons but nearly none of the pilots are dispatchers? Things that make you go hmm.
