From one of the passengers answering questions on Reddit:

“We were telling him to open the exit, so it was passenger initiative.”

I’m more bothered by the fact that she didn’t know her flight number. If I heard American ten thousand six one more time…..

Well, she did tell that one controller she couldn't read her own writing on the ATIS code. Maybe she got an extra 0 in there.

I have thoughts, but imma hold my tongue because.... well, because. What @Cherokee_Cruiser wrote has merit, though I don't know that anyone here needed the diatribe which seemed like it was directed towards people not at the airline level. Caveat, we weren't there, I don't know what AA's manuals say, etc..

I had a ramp agent in YYZ one night ask me, "Why does every pilot write numbers on that little piece of paper on your wheel?" I replied, "That's our flight number and that's the only way we remember!"

I had one, I think in PHX on a turn, ask me why I kick the tires. I said "cause you gotta kick them dude".....then I locked eyes with him, and slow motion kicked the tire again

My ex accused me of having a "touch of the gay" because I was angry about coming home to two weeks-worth of dishes stacked in the sink, but I still think spending money on clothing not from Wal-Mart is ludicrously profligate, show-tunes are culturally equivalent to comic-books, and dourly frown at any public expression of joy. ISH, max. Although who doesn't love the Wizard of Oz and those *adorable* slippers?

The back seat of a •ing growler derg......duh. It's basically all D&D back there, with anything a human who is interested in the sort of thing might ever consent to

Ha!

On that note, I’d been drawing parallels to “Lord of the Rings” and recent goings-on in Flight Standards. At first a nervous laugh, and then it starts to make sense for them. LOL

My brother in Christ, if there was ever a dude who would dig Hamilton, it’s you.

And I say this as an inveterate fanboy of said musical.

NGL - our flight number is on the FCP, right by the transponder code, in front of my face.

But there are some flight numbers that I just. Cannot. Say. Smoothly on the radio. I’m not the greatest stick and rudder guy in the world but my radio work and phraseology is solid and for some strange-ass reason, certain numbers elude me.

There are callsigns I can’t say correctly either. Anyone who ends with YT WILL be called Yankee Tankee at least once.
 
Flipping NOBODY ever used the FDEP on the overhead back in the day, so now I just sit back and suckle on the sweet, sweet irony of not having recall of basic documentary data like “who are we?” without writing on a scrap of paper. Meanwhile the airplane now knows the temperature of each of your cheeks.
