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

[ShutupandFly]

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...

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.

CRJDispatchKid beat me correcting the link...

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.
