Oh Skywest (or Southwest)?

Think about what percentage of cockpit conversations make it to a hot mic. And then think about what percentage of hot mix conversations are overheard by someone motivated to spread the live atc recording around the internets.

Stupid rants like this are way, way more common than anyone wants to admit.

Probably so, but I tend to zone out when they happen so I can't tell for certain.

That’s why I love being based in LAX with younger copilots.

Surfing, mountainbiking, travel, where we’re going to eat when the pandemic is over. Super chill, super positive, super friendly. Not a cargo short, white new balance or faded epaulet in sight.

DTW was 99% chill, but there’s about 1% of the guys that needed Prozac, edibles or counseling that were amazed that I wasn’t afraid of getting kidnapped by a migrant caravan of MS-13 Bolshevik Vegans once we got to San Diego.

”I know a great place for ceviche!”

”OMG, I can’t believe you’re leaving the hotel”

”It... wasn’t an invite”

LOL, I had 30 hours in LA over Christmas Eve/Christmas day a few years back. Took an Uber up to Santa Monica to do some people watching, ate a great meal, watched the sun go down from the beach, went for a nice long walk the next morning in the empty streets.... Get to work later and asked the other guy, who was from Wyoming, what he did. "Stayed in my room." "Why?" "Didn't want to get shot." Oooookkkkk.

I had a 19 hour Oakland and having lived there, I invited the captain to come along on my jaunt to Berkeley via BART.

“Nah man, not my style.”

Well fine, I can take a hike, eat pizza, and drink beer by myself then.

Way too common. The worst are the ones who don't take the hint when you turn off the intercom and stare silently out the window.

I literally don't respond after stuff like that. It doesn't always happen because those kinds are usually talking AT you, but for the ones with an ounce of social awareness watching them squirm in the awkward silence is extremely gratifying.

Sometimes, as Joseph R. Biden, Jr. once said, “will you shut up, man?” works just as well too, but should be reserved for extreme cases.

They’re like angry and scary but not actually harmful or violent dogs: when you stand up straight and make one loud noise, suddenly their loud noise stops too.

I would bet money he's also one of those "Don't wear a mask! Don't live your life in fear!" during the last 12 months.
 
Seriously? No idea about rolling coal?

Y'all need to spend a weekend in northern New Hampshire.

Yeah, it's pretty stupid.

Guy I'm with this week has been wearing the same paper mask since last April... and when I say "wearing" I mean loosely attached to his face so that his lips might barely touch it but it provides no seal whatsoever.

His wife is a respiratory therapist and yet he is still one of those "I had a really bad cold in 2014 and I'm pretty sure that was it, so I'm fine" kinda guys.

This, right here, kids, is why I'm so happy to be vaccinated.
 
He needs one of these too:
