Couldnt believe my ears!

And here I was thinking airline pilots were robots and had no feelings or lives outside of the cockpit.

...something new everyday I tell ya!

Perhaps that is just how management views them?

I get what your saying but still. They were in uniform an outburst and language of that manner while in uniform is unprofessional! Then to continue to argue in sight of passengers by the bathrooms..tsk,tsk!
 
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Must have been a lover's quarrel, I can imagine how the conversation in the cockpit went...

FO: It's just that you treat me like an underling even outside the cockpit, and DAMMIT, it just isn't fair to MY FEELINGS.

CA: Look, I'm sorry, I'll try to be more understanding, but why do you always have to make such a scene in public????? Some things need to be personal, and not yelled to everyone in the friggin' airport!

FO: You don't have to use that language with me, it doesn't make me feel very good.

CA: I'm sorry, but do you see my point?

FO: Yes, I'm sorry, but sometimes I feel...


You know how it goes.lol. Wish I could have seen that.

I hope I wouldn't, but whenever someone starts to push my buttons, I start to ignore them. It hasn't happened much, but I can revert to "checklists and procedures only" pretty quickly.

But as I said in a previous thread, two pilots who aren't getting along is nothing less than a potentially deadly combination which, I feel, is a reason why attitudes and personalities are very important in the prescreening process.

As FO, like it or not but you've got to play 'chameleon' and learn to suck it up at times because public pissing matches aren't professional and solves absolutely nothing.

Yeah, you may be right, but guess what? So fricken what.

Yeah, he might be an enormous racist, idiotic malcontent that adds two and two and comes up with 17 but you've got to work with him. So fricken what!

If it's that bad and you can't work with him after repeated attempts to rectify the situation and find a workable common ground, pick up your bag, your flight kit and step off the aircraft. Call crew scheduling for a replacement and make a telephone call to the chief pilot and professional standards.

But a pissing match? Uncalled for.
 
That could be one of the most funniest aviation stories I've ever heard!

FO CA........lets get it on!
:argue:
 
True story (and I've told it before).

A guy from my old flight school literally punched his captain on the ramp in clear view of the terminal when he was flying as a major midwestern regional airline.

Needless to say, he just 86'ed his entire career in one, arrogant, egotistical action.

As an engineer I twice heard FOs invite captains out on the ramp to settle things. In both cases the captain declined and the cockpit got quite civil afterwards. Those old Vietnam vets didn't like to take any s##t.
 
Speaking of 'Nam.

I remember flying with "The Hawk".

"Hey! How was your tour in Nam?"

"I did three tours"

"Why so many?"

"Cuz I loved killin' (expletives deleted)"

And then he orders a foo-foo drink from Starbucks.

Kilt that macho dead. DEAD!
 
How about "...I'd have expected him to order a "Salty Dog" not a white chocolate, easy whip, double-hot, sugar-free machiatto!"
 
:D
