With no pax, do commercial pilots goof off???

I once saw this documentary on crashes and they profiled a crew on T/O that forgot to set the flaps. On climbout you hear the pilots yucking it up with some female FA's about how this CVR thing is for the wife and Feds to hear for posterity. Next thing you know the horn and shaker are going off and the plane comes crashing down. It might have been a 727 and I don't recall if they survived or not.

They showed us that one in indoc.

I believe it is the Delta crash. I remember listening to the CVR tape. It's posting somewhere on the internet.

I second that...I remember it from CRM training.

The comment was about the FA and how great her TITS looked. They forgot to put the flaps out, they must've been quite impressive.

I saw a G4 take off this morning, did they did the ol' level off over the runway, pull the gear up, and then do a very impressive steep climb over the departure end. Then they rolled her over into about a 70 degree bank. Pretty damn neat, I would imagine they were empty................or have a VERY cool owner....lol
