Oops...stuck mic houston center

Ironically there are some pretty cool gay dudes at my company that, after the novelty of working with an attractive woman wears off, are way more fun to work with. I've seen/heard a few guys go nuts on the F/A they are paired up with, never did understand that. They get all worked up and practically have a heart attack over the stress.

Old guys with hats that say "USS....." and big gangster black dudes, on average, throw longer than anyone else... statistically proven!

statistically, it's a good bet, but it's not nearly as much fun as throwing out a 7 then 11 on the come out, getting paid for both; hitting a 6 or 8 for the point, laying the 9 and 11, hitting them and then hitting your point. Don't pass....boooooooo!
 
That sucks.. But like others have said, it's a stroke of bad luck. Not exactly appropriate, but that kind of talk happens. Even if the guy was pathetic.
 
Somebody during newhire training once said "never say anything in the cockpit that you wouldn't want your family to read in a CVR transcript." Nobody is perfect, but that rule of thumb isn't a bad idea outside the cockpit too.
 
I'm glad most of the replies here conerning this incident seem to be well thought out, and not knee-jerk. You should see the thread that the A.nutters have going on their website.

It will induce many face-palms.

Or at least check if you are transmitting first.

Nah, that condones the idea of "its not wrong if you don't get caught" that is so prevalent in today's society. Nobody is perfect, but a rule of thumb that works for me is if its not something that I'd want my family to read on a CVR after I put it in a smoking hole...I probably shouldn't say it, even outside the cockpit.

I don't like betting wrong, it is a superstitious game.

I did hit a hard 8 & 6 two way parlay last trip to vegas, that there is good karma!
 
I don't see them mentioning the time I was flying around and ATC had a stuck mic for a good 5 minutes (we timed it) and dropped several f bombs.

Dude's an ass, and he shouldn't be talking about that stuff on duty, but it happens. Sucks for him, but I don't really feel very sorry. Use some judgment, people.
 
I'm of the school of thought that you can talk about what you want, but realize that if you're not very VERY careful, you're going to end up in a Jay Leno monologue.

Flying back from where ever in hell I was last week (don't laugh), a flight attendant calls the cockpit and the captain says "Wazaaaaaaaa! Hello? Hello?". I look down and he's broadcasting over Gander Center. I deselect him from COM1 gave him the "cease fire" signal and kept doing what I was doing.

See, I didn't laugh at him because there are those that have and those that will again!

My freshman year at Southernjets, we jumped onto a 727 and I was testing the oxygen mask microphone. I tested the oxygen and then the mic by saying "POOOOSH Luke... I am your far tha!" over the PA.

Little did I realize that it was a "through flight" and there were about 30 passengers onboard. Most laughed, but a little old lady looked like she was about to have a myocardial infarction.

Well, according to these people's comments, all of that is an initial sign of a judgment problem that will ultimately affect safety. You should have been immediately terminated! :)
 
Oh yay, the comment's section! :)

They're on crack.

Actually, no they're not. At least a crackhead has the common decency not to log on and post on a website when he's high. It's gotta be crank. Those guys think they're capable of everything.

Someone's stealing your story!

Full disclosure, I'm married to a pilot who used to fly for a major carrier. The worst thing he ever did (that I know of!) was breathe like Darth Vader into his mic and say "Luke" once, not realizing he was broadcasting himself over the plane's intercom system. Fortunately, this was pre-9/11. People laughed.
