Keep it Professional....

So normally I would not make a stink about this. But recently in CLT there has been a larger amount of Air Wisconsin crews in and out of CLT..... Today was the second time, in a 2 day period I heard the same pilot get placed behind Brickyard (Republic). And for the second day in a row, when asked by tower if they had the "EMB170 in sight" the response was, "Dickyard, I mean Brickyard in sight." Regardless of how we feel towards a group, we should remember on a frequency such as those monitored by the FAA and in general we should keep it professional.... I just found it really shocking to hear it for a 2nd day in a row.... And what appeared to be the same pilot..... My jaw actually dropped as I looked at the Captain and he just gave me a nod as to say, "Yes he did just say that."

Ok rant over....

ps... I'm sure people at my airline have done the same.... By no means am I saying this is one particular airline....
 
Bizarre.

This is simply a matter of people not acting like un-disciplined children at work.

And shame on the person sharing the cockpit with them for putting up with it!

Yeah I'd just get over it quick if I were you. It's happened to my airline going to SLC, eventually they get tired of it.
 
I could write a book on some of the stuff i've seen. As im sure we all could. Best thing is just to make a mental note of how unprofessional that is and don't do it yourself.
 
I've heard it all...

BlowJet, HoeJet, Scabs, Chicken Taco, Shaniqua, ...ty Kitty, Dickyard, s...tyard, Clown Air, Freedumb, SkyPest, Blowgan, ...

You can figure out the airlines ;)

Or Brownstreak....

But to say it on the radio?

That's kinda low class. I'm honestly surprised the tower didn't make a call.

phhtt. Tower doesn't give a crap, they've got too many feds up there butts too.

Don't forget the Pinnacle/Comair merger rumor, gonna call it Comical.

Definitely shouldn't be on air.

I could see it as friendly banter, friendly rivalry; but some guys certainly take that way too far and personal, it seems.

Here's a twist on the concept.

I was in ORD the other day, and according to a few pilots in the crew room, it's ATC taking a poke at a new rival.

Eagle pilots have long tenure in ORD and many have personal friendships and relationships with the Tower types. While, minus a minority of idiots here and there, Eagle pilots have been nice to the newly arrived American Connection fliers, the ATC contingent has been slyly taking pokes at them.

Allegedly, in a somewhat blatant, obvious tone, Chatauqua is being mis-pronounced as "Sh**tauqua".

I know the Connection pilots aren't entirely thrilled to be in ORD and the Eagle pilots aren't really thrilled to see them there, but the fact that ATC is broadcasting this negativity seems largely inappropriate.
 
I'll call Airtran "tranny", chataqua "chicken taco", but it's all in good fun. Dickyard and a few of the others mentioned are pretty unprofessional.
