"Jim, get out there and fix the engine please"

I had a captain who in the middle of dealing with MTC control on the phone, writing something up, and dealing with a passenger issue, turned to me while I was loading the box and very seriously asked "can you do me a huge favor?" "of course, whatchu need?" "Can you run in the terminal and take a leak for me?"

Overall, not that funny, but the delivery was hilarious.

I would have laughed my ass off!
 
JESUS! "Hey Captain, want to slow down a little and fly the plane, let me run this engine failure checklist, then the after takeoff checklist? Screw the girls in the back for now, they'll be fine if we're fine. Let me call ATC first, and then I will let company know. Prioritize Captain. What would you like me to do first? Remember, we're in the pointy end, we'll be first on scene."

What bothered me most about that video was the captain asked for about a million things at once and never gave poor Jim a chance to do a single one of them.

You just need to learn to multi-task better! :p
 
But is it a check or a checklist...

Love it. "Jim this, Jim that."

Repeat after me: "No actions below 1,500' unless aircraft control or performance is marginal..."
 
LOL. I've heard of a video similar to this but it was a 727 crew....and something about the FE was flipping off the CA because of the attitude. It was also a CRM video.

Or was this the video perhaps? Anyone else seen/heard of the 727 one if that exists or is it this one?
