Last week I heard about the F/O and RFO who tore the back of the jet apart looking for the F/Os company ID, which he had clipped to his pocket on his shirt hanging in the back. All the while, Capt Klepto waited in the crew bus for them. Gee....are we going to need Sherlock Holmes to solve this one? ID was never found. This happened recently.

My last month in the right seat, I seriously considered bidding his line and trying to set him up! Thought the better of it, though! Every time I see him in the AOC I give him the evil eye hoping he'd come over and ask me what my problem is! I figure that will keep me out of trouble better than punching him in the neck!

I was in Hong Kong last week and on arrival they asked us to maintain "high speed." I asked him what speed they needed and I told with we could maintain about 280 below 10,000 (with the Capt's concurrence). Controller came back abd said "maintain 280 till 5000 then slow per the arrival." This isn't rocket science, just ask the controller....easier than reading 6 pages of posts on APC.

Those are Klepto stories are pretty entertaining, I was just talking about the multiple FAR regulation, old FCIF, LIDO chart, LIDO AOI copy/pasting that was going on way past pg 1....wow. Thus, the rocket science comment.

As for his high speed taxi's and flights, in retrospect when I was that mid level 727 F/O in OAK, I wish I'd just stepped on the brakes. If you're on a hard time trip (more and more of those these days aren't there?), try asking him why we're going so fast, it's a hard time trip. And with our jet kerosene fuel prices now nearly $3/us gal. it's not just acceptable any longer to fly like that.
The sad thing is that Maxwarp `/ Physco ` knows he's being a bad boy. He cleans up his act radically when he gets his line checks and sim rides. At least that's what a friend in Flight standards told me who also flew with him over the years as well as when OAK was a crew base. It's not like someone in management doesn't know that he's a problem. Even ALPA 1 knew he was trouble as it was a recurring problem when I was council 98 Vice Chairman and later Chairman, so I find it hard to believe that everyone has had a bout of collective management amnesia on this... then again they are management.
