Ok- you airline guys will love this one.

So here I am deadheading from DFW to ORD on AA. I had been away from home for 5 days, TDY. Good no problem, but ineviteably I was ready to get home because I had the early show at GKY this morning.

I get to ORD and decide to get something to eat. I go to "Five Guys" and get a burger and fries (not bad food BTW) in the A concourse. I order my food, pay for my selection and wait for my entree. While waiting I notice a guy who is wearing a leather flight jacket with 4 stripes talking on his blue-tooth headset holding a backpack looking like a complete idiot. Well my first assumption proved to be true.

As I'm standing there, minding my own business this guy says to the call on the other end of his conversation "I've gotta go, I've just gotta talk to someone". He comes over to me with his Purdy Neat bag and leather jacket and says to me...

UNAMED : "Cessna flyer, huh?(Had a pretty sweet Cessna hat on)"

If you've seen Frank Caliendo's Bush impersonation, thats the kind of faces this guy was making while he was talking.

ME: "Yeah, how are you doing?"

UNAMED : "Pretty good, not flying a puddle jumper. Seriously though, don't you think it's time you got in a modern day airplane?"

ME: "You'd be surprised, the Cessna's faster than my car, it's a great machine"

UNAMED : "Oh yea? You've gotta be kidding me dude. Maybe you should go to your boss and demand...Oh wait, you're just a prop monkey"

ME: "OK...."

UNAMED : "Man theres no feeling like that of having a union covering your "butt" (explitive). Ive got to go man, good luck in your prop!"

ME: "OK...(Thinking to myself, this is pretty random)"

As he walked away the wind caught his crew badge and turned it around.


YEP, YOU GUESSED IT. A GOJET CAPTAIN.

I was disgusted with myself for even being seen with him. Needless to say- these guys deserve the treatment they get.
 
I honestly didn't think there were people out there like that. That being said I once told a PDT guy I hope I wasn't booked on a prop for the 1:30 flight to my destination. Felt kinda embarrassed I let that one slip, but hey I was just being honest. Oh and even better he was surrounded by around 5 or 6 other PDT guys. I thought I was going to get lynched!
 
I laughed out loud at the "its faster than my car"


Seriously tho, I'm not standing up for gojets, or this guy, but you can find morons like that anywhere.

Should asked him A.) how hard was it to get on as a street captain
B.) how much debt do you still owe to gulfstream

They're probably both true.

I was holding an elevator one day for a crew in a hotel. They get on, as the doors open to let us off, I go to step out (since I was right by the door) and the cap-e-tan says "get out of my way" and shoves by me.

Those damn AA pilots deserve the treatment they get.

See how stupid that was? It doesn't make any sense either. You're really convinced that there aren't asshats at every company, at every job on the planet? ...and you're also convinced that EVERYONE at this particular company is the same way?

I think you might need to get over yourself a little bit.

My best guess is this thread gets to page 3 before 1 of two things happen:

1.) It gets locked
2.) Go's to the Lav

Anyone want an over/under?
