ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
That HAS GOT TO BE one of the best stories I have ever heard!
I love it!
What did the FO say?"
He didn't say anything if I recall. Just got this kind of blank, whipped puppy look on his face and turned around. To this day that Capt remains one of my favorite Capt's I have flown with. She was a great pilot, great Capt, and pretty damn hot to boot. She should be flying the big iron by now..

I've had people ask when they're going to let me fly the big ones.
Now that I think about it, I am flying the smallest one here since the 727 is gone. HEY, when am I going to get to fly the big ones?!?!?!

Crm?
The F/O, some hick with not a lot of flying background, looked at me and said cargo pilots shouldn't make the same as pax pilots because they have so much less responsibility flying boxes...... The Capt looked at him and said "Why don't you shut the ******* up. What a dumbass thing to say." She looked at me and said "The bad news is I'm stuck flying with this dips*it all month!" .... Anyway, she talked to me the rest of the flight and ignored him. I often wonder how the rest of that month went..

Probably. But the guy deserved it. He sounds like a complete moron.

Maybe the "monica" at the end of each day helped sooth any ill will.

"It probably did not go well. I think the Captain's humiliating remarks in front of another pilot could "train" that new, ignorant F/O to be a surly, uncooperative one (and someday, a bullying Captain himself). There are better ways."
Yeah. I'm sure that incident led to all kinds of bad things happening to that F/O during his career and everyone he flew with. I know that one remark he made to me made me feel inferior and I still haven't gotten over it. I take it out on every pilot I fly with! For goodness sake, lighten up Francis!! Thanks for the drama though. It sure broke the line of funny stories up!!

Best come back line ever
As a PaX hauler I have little to contribute to this thread, but since we are on the subject of ridiculous questioning and witty comebacks....take a look at this:
National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and
US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout
Troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to
teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery,
and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the
rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous
activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle
discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're
not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.

True story..
Jumpseating on AA from Columbus, Oh to DFW. MD-80 and the only seat open was in between the pilots. Had a nice conversation with the female Capt. She was asking about our contract talks and what we were shooting for. BTW, this was pre 9/11. Anyway, mentioned we were using the top pax carrier pay rates + 10% or so as our baseline and hoped to raise the bar for everyone. The F/O, some hick with not a lot of flying background, looked at me and said cargo pilots shouldn't make the same as pax pilots because they have so much less responsibility flying boxes. I told him I had flown both and that when the plane had an emergency it was my ass I was trying to save regardless of what was behind me. The idiot really thought we wouldn't work as hard to get the plane on the ground safely just because there wasn't pax on it. The Capt looked at him and said "Why don't you shut the ******* up. What a dumbass thing to say." She looked at me and said "The bad news is I'm stuck flying with this dips*it all month!" Anyway I said not to worry about it and kept biting my lip to keep from laughing out loud. Anyway, she talked to me the rest of the flight and ignored him. I often wonder how the rest of that month went..
