Your idiosyncrasies have proven themselves to be of great value. Your peculiarities provide great amusement. And most importantly you’ve proven yourself a more than capable operator of aviation appliances.

Now, about that preflight checklist…

If you saw the trips I get you wouldn’t wanna wanna fly with me. Even though I buy the drinks it’s not enough to keep me stocked in good FOs.

Case in point, I’m currently into hour two of my van ride across So Cal to get to the hotel since we leave from ONT tomorrow after flying into LAX.

That’s the worst.

Someone in Hapeville sees where LAX is and the straight-line, no traffic distance to ONT and thinks it’s a good idea.

I’ve been screaming “LA is co-terminal, but not all day!” for two decades.

You know what’s hilarious is that I was asking myself “Who is this guy?” did some secret squirrel work and I didn’t realize that I know your spouse!

Then again, people dork up their bids by blanket avoiding ONT BUR LGB starts and that’s how I wind up getting to do PYLOTTE INTENDS TO DV8 ON FLT 2134 SEA SLC … so

Come to the Canabus, sir, and you can indulge in all sorts of curiosities like, “why in the hell did resetting the flight director fix the audio problem?”

True story.

Rode it the other day up to Anchorage. The first class seat has got to be one of the worst layouts, at least on the widget variety. Also it sounds like a pod of whales taxing.

Staged on the FBO ramp in a Bombardier business aircraft with main cabin door open, APU running and randomly get a triple chime TERRAIN TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP PULL UP.

Confused new FO: "Execute the memory item for Terrain?"
Captain: "The engines aren't even running."
FO: "So what do we do?"
Captain: "The airplane is disoriented because the tail is hanging over the edge of the ramp so the GPWS thinks we're flying, but the Wow switches say we're on the ground with engines off, and the airplane thinks it can fly in this configuration. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk on systems."

Line guy: "Passengers are at the gate. Are you ready?"
