Air Force or Marines?

[Seggy]

Shocked this hasn't been discussed yet. Some fantastic memes coming out of this as well!

Is this guy’s position an ATLDUDA ?

 

[bustinminimums]

Not a Marine. Not snacking on a box of crayons and he was not knife handing and dropping f bombs during his P/A. Trust me on this, I know my tribe.

Memes are golden!

/// = servant
//// = servant leader

Ugh. See, there it is. I can't measure up to this—this is obviously why I'm not mainline material.

 

[USMCmech]

No way was this one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.

Former air scout for sure.

Servant leadership is so 2014

I think he’s above an A

Need to find out what letter we use for servant leaders

Probably his first leg after being signed off of CA OE

You misread the stereotype. Obvious former USAF dude, most likely “vipers” (F-16’s) from somewhere. Which is the red headed step child of the AF. But they are VERY proud. Especially if a former O-6

That said, I have no problem with an authority figure setting the expectations for the flight. Probably didn’t need to be standing in the front using the FA mic though. Counterpoint, this looks a little like a substitute teacher trying to get everyone’s attention

There is no defense for this, this is looney toons and 175 out of 175 people on that plane didn’t want to hear it.

The lack of oh-rah, or Semper Fi is another indication.

Or yut-yut or kill for that matter.

I think a Spirit captain telling the passengers to behave or we’ll turn this plane around is different from someone who is doing a show because he thinks he’s cool and wants everyone to know.

There are non cringey ways to lead, this has none of those. I also hate the “my crew” “my ship” stuff. We know you’re in charge, bro. You’re leading the team, but you’re still part of it. You’re just going to shut people down with that.

Sometime in the last few months I was on a Delta BRJ from AVL-ATL. Captain made a similar PA, but from the flight deck. “We’re both military trained, so you’re in good hands.”

Oh, the weird and wonderful ways I’ve seen former military pilots try to make an easy job harder. Not saying it’s unique to them, but they certainly aren’t immune.
