I caught a guard meower today

[NovemberEcho]

Well, not a meower. Instead he did some stupid “welcome to regional airline radio! Bringing smiles up and down the east coast!” or something like that on guard. I didn’t know who it was at the time, but just after I told Endeavour 4947 to contact departure on 24.75, the same voice came over guard reading it back. Then a few seconds later he asked to clarify the freq, so I got on guard and told edv4947 when he’s done being a DJ to contact departure. He didn’t read that back.

It’s incredible how unfunny pilots can be

Execute them with Extreme Prejudice. This is Sanctioned by The Company. The less said, the better. Cement shoes are recommended.

Obviously, I don't know who you are and did not participate in this supposed "chat" on "The Internet".

 

[SFCC/UND]

I don't even bother with guard anymore. If something is wrong they can CPDLC me.

It’s incredible how unfunny pilots can be

It’s incredible. The number of times I hear a coworker say something like “another empty kitchen” when they hear a female voice is ridiculous. If you’re going to be an •, at least make me laugh.

I love the airline and the flight number. CALL EMMM OUT!

I really hope the other cockpit occupant just looked at them with disdain and contempt and they had to wallow in their shame.

 

[derg]

I would murder.

My plan is to file an ASAP, NASA ASRS & company report with their name on it. Does my union have a pro standards committee? Yes it does, but this is unforgivable. Don’t like it, don’t be the asshat on guard.

I think they should set up specialized equipment to pinpoint a couple of these tools and really really throw the book at them. Certificate action. Yank their FCC radiotelephone. Put this to bed once and for all. Guard policing and the meowing.

But yeah I’m pretty much done with guard. Sorry in advance if you needed help, needed a frequency, or balled it in somewhere. Thank a guard meower. Pay the bucks for a 406 mhz ELT.

I heard my first meooowww over Japan last week. It's spreading. Or guys who thought it was funny at a regional have moved on and are flying WB now.

It’s incredible how unfunny pilots can be

In almost 35 years of this business, the only funny pilot I ever met was a student who was an actual comedian.

That guy was funny. He could do a Dana Carvey doing George Bush that would leave you in stiches.

Switch pressurization to MAN and hold finger over the outflow valve switch, saying "don't make me pull this bus over Derek!"

A coworker’s wife was a mess specialist (cook) in the Navy, then got out after her enlistment was up with a number of culinary certs and eventually became a sous chef, then a head chef. One day they were arguing and he told her to get back into the kitchen and do her job. Which….I suppose….isn’t entirely the kind of slam dunk statement he was maybe intending it to be.

Good for her. I don't imagine that is the normal career progression for a typical CS.......at least post navy. Though I'm sure they all walk away being able to make some damn good eggs (or a one-eyed-jack......you need one of those in your life from time to time)

Then see if you can do a Turks and Caicos flight - they usually wont let you in without the FCC piece of card...

Did you expect different? Those kids all learned that from their dads, who, back in the 90s, learned it on their way to work listening to Rush Limbaugh. Then, once arrived at the job site, they all said it to each other as if they had all made it up themselves. Same thing today, just FaceTwitTok now.

Did he end up calling you?

Heading into Cancun this morning someone was playing the national anthem on guard. I’ll give them a pass just for this one day.
