United Pilots Get Personal

Doug does Delta still hand out the business card size info about the aircraft or is that just for pilot info?
 
They still hand them out, but you've got to be careful to hand them out at the END of the flight as the pax are deplaning.

Precocious kids are known to memorize the FAQs on the back of hte card and ask, "So how long is the MD-90?"

"uhh, from the tail to the nose, kid!"

"You SUCK!"

"Why I oughta..." :)
 
I think every pilot should be friendly, but there are some #######s out there, so who its not always possible.
 
This is even more reason to have us wear baseball uniforms, goes great with the baseball cards! SWEEEET! Who is going to have the Kingairer Rookie card!?
 
It's a little strange United doesn't reimburse the pilots for use of their own personal credit cards. You'd think United would issue a special card just for that purpose.

I would love to give a kid my Credit Card so he can call the Elmo Fan club on my dime! Awesome!

You probably should smack him for being a smartaaa. Obviously mommy or daddy hasnt and take you card back also
 
Usually rudes kids have rude parents.

If you're at the door thanking people after arrival, if you say, "Thank you for flying "whatever" " and the parents look at you like "how DARE you address me knave!" generally the kids will too.

If the parents acknowledge your existence, as well will their kids.

Still cant believe people dont say thanks and bye when getting off the plane. Ever since i was young, i remembered my parents have gone out of the way to thank the cabin crew personally.

Safely transported them, and with pleasure (or the illusion of it! :p ).

:rawk:
 
They treat you like crap up until that moment that the airplane gods along with Mr. Murphy decide its your turn to be picked on and you lose an engine or have some other problem. Then you become their hero
 
Yeah, Ive always shaked hands with the FO or Capt, the last flight on Delta I took the pilot made a sweet landing, I think I flattered him when I said "That was a perfect example landing for a future pilot" He laughed and said thanks.

Most airline pilots are nice anyway.
 
Am I the only person who dislikes when the Captain comes over the PA and goes, "Blah blah blah thanks for flying with us today, as we head to Albuquerque, I'm Captain Mike Rogers with First Officer Steve Googlesmith"?

I don't need to know your full name, it sounds too top-gunish to me. Captain Rogers will be fine, unless you want me calling you Mike...
 
I jump seated on a Danny Flanagan flight a few weeks ago. And the whole time I was in the flight deck, I could not stop thinking thing how smart this guy was, it took no longer to board the plane, did no other annoucnements then we normally do, and people we much much happier. He made people feel like they were wanted on the airplane. I told my captian about it and all he said was he would never do it and blah this and that. I think we need to be like Capt. Flanagan. It may p/o 2 people on the plane but the 50 or more would love it. ANd now they are pushing this onto the regionals.
