Where do you draw the "entertainment" line in the cockpit?

[MarineGrunt]

Oh Lord, I can about hear it in your cockpit when 770 is on. My liberal bones shiver... uuughh

LOL. I can actually picture that one! I listen to Rush all the time - sometimes when the CA sees me tuning it up, he'll toggle on just to see what I'm listening to. Every now and then, I glance over, see a disgusted look and they toggle off. I LOVE IT!!!

ha ha.. he is the guy you Love to hate. Although I'd take him over that blonde chick... uugh.

I'll read the newspaper, the only radio I listen to is a Cubs game, and I only listen when I'm the flying pilot so I don't miss radio calls.

 

[BOHICAgain]

it all depends on who is next to you. When people start missing radio calls thats where I draw the line. If a guy needs a power nap that is ok. Rather have the guy sleep during cruise then nod off during the approach.

Ever tried playing cards while in cruise and descent?

I usually draw the line at lap dances........

One of the dumbest statements ever posted on the forum. There is a reason that there are two pilots...it's so one can back the other one and listening to the radio sort'a eliminates that check and balance. F^kn amazing!

Where do you draw the line?

I've seen some interesting stuff, and am wondering what you think is acceptable behavior in the cockpit.

1. Don't read anything but company literature in flight. (no joke, saw it with my own eyes)
2. Read but don't listen to music/talk radio.
3. Listen to music/talk radio but only in cruise.
4. Listen to music/talk radio but only above 10k.
5. Listen to music/talk radio anytime.
6. Watch DVDs on Laptop during long cruise legs.

Assume you're experienced and comfortable with the airplane and situation and flight crew.

I've done all of the above . . . in a 210 . . . except for the above 10k part.

I usually go under that line, HAHA!!

Obviously flame bait, nobody can be that dense..

 

[atr42flyer]

What about linking up on a game of Tiger Woods golf on the PSP with a passenger in the back? True story...Capt got his butt kicked too in 9 holes

now this is dam funny!!!

 

[timeless]

Watching dvds can be a bad idea if you end up laughing too hard to talk to ATC.

The PSP vs. Pax is funny.

How is that adumb, let alone, the dumbest statement? He just stated that he, like many of the other people on this thread, listens to the radio. However, unlike everyone else, he makes a point to only listen when his primary responisbility isn't listening for ATC. That does not mean that he doesn't listen to ATC or whatever other meaning you inferred from the post. Your "dumbest statements" response kind of loops right back at you in the context of this thread...

Don't think so.

Anybody defending a pilot in the seat tuning out 'cause the other guy is doing the radio don't have a clue.

If I have to explain any further...

 

[Prop2Jet]

Usually everything is ok with me except that time when the other guy brought out a fake blow up girl and began to perform some nasty things to it. I felt, just....uncomfortable and yet curious. I had to put my foot down and tell this person to please stow your blow up mate. He continued to fornicate with this made in china women. At that point I took the doll away from him. This created a good deal of stress that leg.

So in my opinion please don't bring rubber or plastic women with you to work.

That's just unreasonable. Show me in the Operations Handbook where it says we can't make sweet love to blow up dolls in the cockpit. I bet you can't.

I'm not defending anyone. I simply said in the context of this thread calling out one person, who actually seems to be more safety conscious than the rest, is not rational.

Another regional pilot speaks his mind. I'm sure that your ops manual does not allow this type of activity. Thanks for your insight.

Some of you guys really need to remove that stick from your rectum. If you have such problems with multitasking that you're unable to listen to both the ATC radio and the talk radio station, then you probably lack the mental capacity to fly an airliner anyway.

Pleasure reading and listening to ADF radio is prohibited by our Operations Manual. It wouldn't surprise me if it were prohibited at AirTran as well.

Do you intend to engage in these activities during your probationary year because of your vast mental capacity?
