Who is the biggest loser you have flown with?

[Lead Sled]

LOL that is funny. I heard the story about 5 years ago and it was a UA DC-10 and she was Native American ... who got a tribal lawyer to represent her!

Maybe it also happened at United - I have no idea. I do know that it happened to a Western 727 crew as well.

When I flew corp. I had the "honor" of flying with a furlowed TWA F/O.
He CONSTANTLY bitched how it wasn't like TWA and how great a pilot
he was. He was also a Riddle Diddle which made things worse. He'd brag
on how much he made at TWA (but still in debt, the dumbass) and every
time he'd say how great he was, he slammed the plane (a CE-550) on the
runway so hard, it would scared the hell out of the pax. He'd preach
standard procedure day in and day out then make up calls on the approach.

That company had 3 of those guys, each tried to kill me with their "Skills".
One was deathly afraid of ANY thunderstorm or buildup.

Same guy, as PNF failed to listen to the whole ATIS going into MCO.
Him: Take the next taxiway
Me: (remembering the NOTAM) Is that one still open?
Him: yeah yeah, just take it.

We nearly hit a jersey barrier and are getting screamed at by the tower.
Same guy was constantly hitting buttons and saying "what does this
button/switch do?" I told him I'd break his arm/neck if he did it again.
I meant it.

Another guy wanted to reset the A/C bus at FL 410 (CE650) which would
have hozed the nav and pressurization. It is NOT standard procedure.
Same guy tried crossing an active at TEB, yes I hit the breaks, while getting
yelled at. He almost died by blunt force trauma from the right seat.

Different guy would shut off the nose gear steering for takeoff because he
thought it was too sensitive.

Different pilot would get scared by traffic and yell "GGUUEEEEAAAH" instead
of "traffic 12 o'clock our level 1/2 mile". I'd have to ask 20 questions to
find out what was wrong "what is it Lassy? is Timmy cought in the well?"

Boy I miss corperate.uke:

Your threads are priceless! The stories are worth a six pack to everyone!

He is teaching me to fly the beech 99 from Reno to Winnemucca and we are unpress at 17,500. I go for the O2 mask and he says "God I hate when people use that crap, I don't like smoking around it". I put it away and he graciously offers me a pall mall nonfilter. I shudder to think of the buzz I would have missed out on had I not lit up and gone for the O2 instead.

Psycho...

Just started reading this thread but I have to ask...

N209BH by any chance? UPS run from RNO to WMC? PM me...I think I know who you are talking about. I did my 99 training from RNO to WMC in 99'...

Wherethefucca? (Winnemucca) I worked there in 2003, not as a pilot, ( I took a break from flying for a few months) as a wildland firefighter.

Flew with an owner in a T-210 that thought upon starting a descent, should then open cowl flaps for cooling.

Also as groundspeed increased more and more from IAS as climbing higher in altitude, though that meant more and more tailwind, instead of considering true airspeed.

Same person later bought a twin and got caught by FAA flying it on his single engine licence.

You only need a multi-engine rating to carry passengers in a twin. Maybe a passenger turned him in.

I flew 5 years with a guy that thought he was vastly superior to everyone else. Claimed he had a vision from God ! Also claimed he had smoked at least 300 lbs of marijuana in his life but had not affected his judgement ! LOL

 

[tracearabians]

Hey ! I know where U R coming from !
