Who is the biggest loser you have flown with?

[The_Russian]

Isn't that The Russian?

Yeah, that's me! I make sure to put F-14 in the second column if I'm on a "mission". And, since I have my ATP, I log every flight as PIC, even if I don't have a type!

Can't wait to get to the Majors!

I cannot believe I missed this! *Laugh*

I won't say which airline I fly for, but I'll just mention that I fly a 1900 and we have a somewhat controversial training program. We had this guy in training with the mental capacity and maturity of an orangatan (seriously, I think he may have been mildly retarded.) He had numerous problems in training, a poor attitude, and terrible hygiene. In training, he once moved his hand from the left prop lever to the right one (after he'd confimed the left one was the failed side) and feathered the good engine. People who'd known him in primary training said he'd failed every check ride to date at least once. He managed to pass the airline's rides, but failed the oral walkaround exam after he confidently told the check airman that the generator produced 3,000 volts and was located somewhere in the wing (belt drive, maybe?) The best moment, however, was when he flew home and attended a wedding in his uniform. He now flies for Pinnacle.

V2! Hahaha!

These are funny.

Here's mine:

Flew with a guy that pluralized everything during a radio call. Ex "Vegas approaches citations 1234's at 8000s information deltas".....WTF

Wife tracked his flights an called him immediately after we landed. He chatted while I tossed bags and put the airplane to bed. EVERY TIME

Another guy flicked boogers all over the cockpit and picked his scabs on his arm. Then they would bleed. So we had bloody napkins all over the cockpit

One guy would pee in a bottle on every flight over 3 hours AND THEN hold the bottle between his legs for the remainder of the flight. After we landed he'd carry it under his arm, try to hide it, go to the restroom and dump it IN THE SINK and rinse it out for next time!

I know I've got more.................

Great, let's not start another one of these threads.:laugh:

nevermind... jjbiv beat me to it.

Back in the commuter days I had an relatively mature FO who wasn't dangerous or anything, just a little slower than most. One day this check airman, who had it in for the older guy, comes along for a ride, and in the middle of the flight berates my FO for not saying "thank you" to the controller after getting a clearance direct! The biggest loser, was of course, me, for never telling our chief pilot what a jerk this guy was.

INCONCEIVABLE!!!:beer:

sorry to breathe life into an old thread.

The captain I flew with who stood up and peed in a bottle. He had bad aim and peed on the floor instead.

 

[JPAustin]

This guy wasn't a loser at all, but he was always interesting to fly with. He was a very fundamentalist Christian (Methodist myself) and he always felt compelled, even if he knew you, to evangalize on every flight.

I always admired his unwavering faith, but geez did it get old, and you know you would have felt bad if you told him to give it a rest, so you were kind of stuck nodding your head every few seconds.

 

[goodgig]

Not me.
Start praying to Satan to make him stop. When he stops, ask him which God listens better.

so many losers, so little time...

1 - guy who organized with owner of company to fly FOR FREE and cost another guy his job because of it

2 - guy who causes $25 000 damage to belly and wing of B190 while low flying in Angola...then second guesses your actions during abnormal ops when he wasnt there

3 - younger, lower time captain who proceeds to regail you with tails of his exploits in 'much more difficult to fly' aircraft than he thinks youve flown

4 - CA's who dont know their flows, misses callouts that create um...situations, and then want to blame guess who...

5 - guy who tells everybody how he saved the day from the JUMPSEAT and how that crew should be glad he was on board...should have been knocked flat on his ass

[Friedaloo]

I got one!

How about the tool that spends all his time on the cell phone instead of picking up clearances or running through his pre-flight duties. Then he preaches about how he's hoping to upgrade, but can't find the freakin' departure in the pubs, even though it's right there...
