And while we're at it, why, Frenchies, do we ever need to select 125.660 on the VHF? Why?
Ooh, ETOPS!![]()
The part about "guard" is hilarious.
I generally keep mine deselected and let the poor FO deal widdit.
Mute com 2. That's what I do when people I fly with put guard in 2. I stopped listening a long time ago. It's worthless as an actual emergency frequency anymore. You'd have better luck on 122.7/8/9, center/app or even FSS.Unfortunately, it's SOP here to select guard once above 10k (part of the PM flow).![]()
Probably because the airline is too cheap to pay more to purchase the non-8.33khz capable radio that'll only be used in the US.
Nope! 757/767, at least the varieties I've flown have a logical COM panel. The FNWA 75's, I have no idea. The T-Dubbs did though.
Nah, domestic CLPDC will be first.Just keep the sixth digit. It's coming eventually.
Nah, domestic CLPDC will be first.
And people wonder why I just turn the damn radio off after I exit the D at my home airport.Oh god yes bring it.
It takes five minutes to get checked in on a new frequency and then Indy switches you to another a minute later.
I spend more time on idiotic frequency changes than anything else.
And cut out the screaming "BLLLOCKKKKKKKKK" crap too. You're blocking other folks screaming "block" and blocking out legit calls at the same time and it does NOTHING.
My problem is that once I started flying through Canada, the OCA's and Europe then came back to domestic, the differences are stark and amazing with pilot decorum here in the states. It's like everyone's a twelve year old trying to sound cool and punk one another.
Shut up, shut up, shuuuuuuut upppppppp!![]()

Correction: I just wear the body glitter that rubs off on me.![]()
Well now we all know to get Uncle Derg glitter bombs for his birthday!Rentals. Ha!
Someone sent us one of those Christmas cards that had flecks of glitter that ended up on the couch.
Imagine getting "The Jaundiced Eye" for a week after that.
"Hey! You have glitter on your clothes too but because I have a 'Y' chromosome clearly I was able to find a lap dance in between breakfast and 'The Price is Right'".
Wimmin!

Even more fun would be if say random people sent someone random shaped packages randomly that were full of glitter. Said person would be scared to open anything!I'm going to go take a poop, then contemplate this.
True story bro. This is happening in about 25 seconds.
In Alaska I can go from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor and only talk to two controllers. Its a beautiful thing.Aw jeez. I couldn't remember that. There were a lot of frequency changes from CA to MI.
