So Kristie and I are out with a friend and my fellow co-worker at happy hour down at a local Irish bar.
Well, she's literally from Ireland so wouldn't you meet your Irish friend at an Irish bar?
Anyway, we both fly for Southernjets and we're both on the 767 and we were laughing about some of the doofus new procedures we do in the airplane.
The "500' AGL 'CHECK!'" issue comes up. Whenever we're on approach and the GPWS calls "Five HUNdred..." the flying pilot says "Check!".
Why? No clue.
After all of these years, no aircraft has ever come barreling out of the skies when pilots haven't been saying "Check!" when the GPWS announces "500'".
So I'm barking "500!" and our friend is saying "Check!" repeatedly a few times and laughing our asses off.
Of course, beer makes everything funnier.
So a few more "500'!" "Check!" goes out and the waitress comes running over and hands us the bill and says, "Sorry we're really busy, but here it is".
Odd. Food's still on the table, beers are barely half empty and we just got our bill handed to us.
Then we figure out that as we're barking "five hundred!" "check!" a few times, the waitress probably thinks that we're rudely shouting for her to bring us the bill for the beer and food.
I dunno, I guess you had to be there!
