Delta Capt locked out of cockpit

Don't be the guy at one restaurant I was at who was overheard to order prime rib well done, then when brought out that way by the incredulous staff, proceeds to douse it in ketchup.

Oh please, I already have to suffer through turkey sausages, turkey burgers (which are at least edible- sort of), turkey chili, turkey tostadas and turkey meatloaf, (I have to make my own beef meatloaf or my sister will with actual ground chuck when I want one). They have turkey bacon now? Oh Lord. She wants to make turkey tacos sometime, I am just like oh lets not go there. I am not eating a damn turkey taco. I am just surprised she hasn't come up with a turkey soup yet.

This is what I'm afraid of. Turkey bacon is a gateway drug.

It's coming, mark my words. That is how it starts. Listen we were all about the chicken for years. I still am. But slowly she got on this turkey thing and now it's turkey this, turkey that. I like turkey but not half as much as chicken. Now I am relegated to very little beef and I sneak steaks and other beef foods or god forbid a piece of fried chicken breast once in a blue moon and even get the eye roll if I order beef tacos once in a while instead of fish or chicken tacos. I am just grateful that my sister Betty will make me beef stroganoff or a pot roast whenever I want one. How can a man live without pot roast for crap's sake? I am lucky I can still get the extra lean corned beef at the Katella Deli.

Hell, I am going to revolt. I am gong to ask Betty to make me a damn meatloaf tomorrow. Turkey be damned!!! They can take our lives, but they can never take our meatloaf!!!

Some southern states there is a law against that.
 
Right, so he got locked out of the cockpit because he ate lunch at the wrong airport restaurant.

...Actually, as thread derailments go, this is the only one in history that actually follows logic.
 
Because of course there is video....



Good job by the captain to go row by row and brief the passengers.
 
To be honest, both of those pitcures look like crap. If that is what prime rib and (vomit) potatoes look likes to you... well may mythical skybeast have mercy on your soul.

Condiments of the gods...

Only if the meat tastes like absolute crap. You putting that on something means you don't like it. That may be because it was cooked wrong, but condiments or only required when the cooed item is crap. This isn't opinion but fact.
 
At least it wasn't one of the newbie FOs on the first leg of IOE!

On my second day of OE in the CRJ we flew from Manchester, NY down to Philly and of course, due low ceilings, ended up holding with the plan being eventually to take the ILS to 26R. The captain had 6 cups of coffee in him and after the second or third turn started getting kind of fidgety. By turn 5 he was sweating. We were about the 4th airplane in the stack and had an EFC 20+ minutes out so he asked if I thought I'd be ok holding down the fort for a few minutes while he ran back to use the lav. I said sure and he was out of his seat and opening the door before I could even call the FA.

About 30 seconds after he left, Philly opened up Runway 35 and as we were the first aircraft in the stack that could take it (everybody else was 75s and Airbii) the controller gave me a huge long string of instructions including altitudes, headings, speed restrictions and visibility (and something about a potential for a tall ship, which at the time I had no idea how played into landing 35). I thought about all the ways I, a 1000 hour CFI with 6 hours in the jet, could screw that up and made one of the wisest decisions of my aviation career, and told him unable.

When the captain came back up about 2 minutes later I told him what had happened and at first he was kind of annoyed but after he thought about it (and drank half of coffee #7), he told me a made a good call.
