Wierd Capt / FO / FE

[Drill Sgt. Dad]

We had a Captain at my last airline that forgot to shut down one of the engines on a terminating aircraft. He left the airport and was called a half hour later at the hotel by dispatch.

Nice job on the postflight walk around. The sad part was this tool wasn't fired for this.

If this was at ACA/Independence Air, he is no longer a CA but the most senior FO in the whole company.

Years ago at Coex. A Captain on the emb145 going on a flight into newark, pretend he was a bomber pilot and was dropping bombs by pulling up on the parking brake. Well after playing "bomber" he accidently left it engaged and did a 180 when they landed. Back to the right seat he went....

Sweet!!!! I used to do that on my Big Wheel.

Big Wheel's rocked!! I wish they made them for adults! Man those were fun!

The last time I sat in mine, the big wheel broke off, and the seat area was touchin the pavement

That's called the Big Wheel "Low-Rider" Edition. I went through a lot of wheels on mine (It was Dukes of Hazzard, the General Lee)...ahhh, the good ole' days.

I used to go out to a big hill, ride down hill about a football fields length, onto a dock, and into a lake, did that with a bicycle too, but it was a pain to drag the bicycle out of the water, and sometimes you landed the wrong way with the bicycle and it smashed ya

I wanted a Big Wheel so bad when I was a kid....parents never got me one.

No wonder I'm so f-ed up.

We have one that used to tell the crew that they had to walk in single file in the terminal (CA, FO, FA), among other things he does. Had a 4 day with the clown an he is my "no fly" list.

I'd tell him to f-off, he isn't the captain in the terminal.

He didn' tell us to do that, he used to do a lot of weird stuff (Still does some). I will never fly with him again.

Here's my new brief:

"I'm really laid back, but I don't like guys from South America. Friggin' foreigners!"

:laugh:

Haha, I hear you man, we should send all those South Americans back to their countries!!!

Is that gonna be your new briefing to the captains in the 73? Let me know how that goes!!

I just flew with a captain that took my picture with his digital camera without any notice. He said he takes a photo of all his f/o's. I guess he keeps some sort of data base on us at home??? Any other MD-11 guys know him?

Had a guy do this to me while I was head-first in the USA Today...I made him erase it..I think he did, anyway

At my last airline, the captain that would actually brief she did everything by the book, and would then proceed to share with me her special procedures that were no where near the same book the company published.

CRM classes should brief situations like this to their new hires. Anytime I have been briefed from a Captain that he/she does "everything by the book" it usually is code for, "I am going do my damndest to make your life a living hell for the next 3-4 days by doing nothing standard."

I had a "green machine" remember those with the two levers. Did spinouts better than the big wheel!!

Yeah, I've flown with that guy. I told him if he ever takes my picture at 0400 again without my knowledge, he won't have his stupid little camera anymore. That was also after he spewed to me how great Michael Moore's movie Farenheit 9/11 was.

Actually, I'm hoping to fly with him soon. I broke my digital camera the other day.
