Def find it unique , I hope he gets what he wants . Only thing that I see tough, if he doesn't get it other airlines may or may not be aware of how bad he wanted another airline . I mean he could finally get a interview but then screw it up as many chaps do, kinda all eggs in one basket .

Not my method , but won't knock it . And out of all places Southwest likes goofy stuff . This may be over the top but either way.

It’s not a good way to go about it.

This guy reminds me of a fellow I was told about who make a cast of his foot and painted it to look like a southwest plane. His plan was to show up at the interview, slap the stupid thing on the table and try to make a stupid joke about getting his foot in the door.

Doubt that would be viewed as funny either.

"What the hell is the matter with you?!" is a great lead in question for the "tell us more about yourself" part of the interview

Okay so we are gonna skip over the Why SWA question as looking at your website, you have already answered that for us.

Might as well do the whole interview on your website now so you can just say "It's on youtube" when they ask you in person.

Being discussed in the Delta thread. Most likely a DCI CRJ driver. Current theory is ExpressJet.

GraceMonth 04-05-2018 07:22 AM

Definitely CRJ. Too much of a tool to be legacy (in most cases).

DENpilot 04-05-2018 08:42 AM

The dude is posting pics of himself in the right seat with 4 bars....

Also, there are pics of him in flight wearing iphone earbuds in both ears. The tool should be fired.

stroopwaffle 04-05-2018 08:46 AM

Picture in the article shows him sitting in front of CBP-1 on a CRJ.

Is he the next Bachelor?

Look him up in the FAA database. He isn’t even a pilot (student pilot only).

GraceMonth 04-05-2018 09:09 AM

How does a student pilot get pics of himself in the seat of a CRJ?

Front facing camera on your phone is a mirror image. I'm not a selfie-taker, but that's likely what you saw.

Better yet “Captain Hollywood” or Captain George, your call sign should be “Captain Putz”.

Just heard an audio recording of this guy. Wow. I assess not a lost bet nor a joke. Some serious OMG factor. And, sadly, sounds like he has gold wings in his closet someplace.

Yes the recording exists. I know this because people play it on guard...

Hilarious. I simply hear “Guarddddddd” repeated ad nauseum

MN8V8R 04-05-2018 06:12 PM

Instagram hall of farmer from the previous page is a L-ASA CRJ CA. FAA database shows SIC only type in the ATR and a regular PIC type in the CL-65. Hired on at ASA in 2005.

Albief15 04-07-2018 04:33 AM

Seems I could post a few selfies of my fabulous, soft pink belly and calm this whole fire right on down...;)

You have the option of exiting YouTube when listening to Captain Hollywood. However, there’s no escape from this fool’s diatribe whilst sitting in the cabin awaiting departure.:(

I’d like to nominate myself. I wasn’t just a tool of the day, I’m also self reporting as douche of the day. I was jump seating to Atlanta on expressjet from an airport in south Florida. I went to the cockpit to ask permission. The Captain was an older male and the pilot on the right was a younger female. I addressed the Skipper as Captain and asked for a ride. As always, the crew was gracious and accommodating. Upon arrival, I thanked the older pilot and merely said goodbye to the younger pilot. While waiting for my bag in the jet bridge, I saw that both pilots had 4 stripes. I assumed that she was an FO, I barely acknowledged her and Didn’t acknowledge her rank. Sorry...

I don’t know what the forum rules are, but the fact that self reporting yourself here, and admitting your oversight/mistake, kind of takes you from tool of the day to cool of the day, in my opinion.

I have noticed that there are a lot of “older, gray haired, Fo’s lately at the regionals. This guy was probably getting OE from the younger female, As I’m sure you already figured out. And allowed him to “run the show” like a good check airman.

I’m guessing the growth of older pilots starting over at the regionals is because of the dramatic turn in our pay rates, at the majors, over the last few years, and guys from corporate, and retiring military, again see a benefit in getting 121 current to try for a major airline job.

You should be flogged for such an indiscretion. Seriously though, lighten up Francis.

When I jumpseat I acknowledge both pilots regardless of “rank.” It’s common courtesy. This isn’t the military.

Personally I stand with one pace inside the door, at full attention and formally state my request as follows:

Sir (ma’am), This is regional pilot (rank, last name) requesting use of your jumpseat for the duration of flight (flt number)!

Once given permission, I salute and shake the FOs hand.

If the captain isn’t present, I just introduce myself to the FO, make a crude joke of some kind then go take a seat or start texting :D

No kidding. This was exactly what I thought. Seriously, you didn’t thank the FO because of her “rank”? Wow.

Meh, it happens. That said, i always make eye contact with both while introducing myself and thank both as I'm deplaning. :)

This was the next “gem” after the peach tree rant over our failed TA. What an ass. I looked up the atl chart and he should not have turned onto Lima.
Sorry if it’s a repost but this dude deserves a honorary tool of the year

I didn’t call her Captain and automatically assumed she was an FO. It was a dick move.

What people are geting at is why not just always treat both pilots with the same courtesy regardless of rank? It's very telling that that hasn't even crossed your mind...lol

Concur. When I was in the left seat at a regional I flew with many pilots that had some serious and humbling bonadides. Majors and colonels who had been passed over by the majors. 135 pilots who had twice the turbine PIC time that I had in conditions 10x more challenging. I had four stripes on my shoulder and they "only" had three not because I was somehow a better pilot or had achieved more (I'm not and I hadn't) but because I had been slogging away in the regional game longer than they had. That's it.

crflyer 04-12-2018 07:58 PM

Doesn’t matter what their background or their “rank” is, why would you thank one and not the other?
