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.

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.

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?
