Reminds me of a "funny" story a few years ago. I say "funny" because I couldn't believe how stupid my FO was.
Back in 98, I was a 727 second officer and we're picking up at the hotel in Rochester.
My whole crew showed up, 3 flight attendants, the captain, the first officer and myself. There was also a United crew, three flight attendants, the captain and another girl wearing an overcoat holding a hat.
It was winter.
The driver looks back and says, "Hey, do we have everyone?"
Everyone looks around and nods, but the FO on my crew said, "No, I think United's missing their copilot".
The girl in the overcoat holds her uniform cap up for my crew's FO to see.
"Is the FO on the way down? Why are you holding his hat? Is he late for pickup?"
Absolute silence, you could drop a pin and hear it bounce three times...
So I steathily step on his foot so I can give him the hint to shut his trap before gets himself in worse trouble.
"What? I just don't want to us to leave the poor guy at the hotel!"
And then the captain saves the day, "'LeRoy's just screwin' around, his wife's a pilot for Federal Express!"
Everyone uproariously laughs and buys the captain's story. But the dumass turns to the captain and says, 'No she's not, she's a housewife!"
Grr....
