Fixed it for you.

Anyway... some cabin crew like to know there’s an ABP onboard in the event they need to be located to an emergency exit row seat.

Thanks.

What's an APB? Additional Pilot (something) ? At my carrier there's "ACM" (Additional Crew Member) but I'm not a crewmember, I'm just a ticketed passenger who coincidentally happens to be employed as a pilot at another, unrelated carrier.

SEE! That's exactly why I keep a low profile.

OK, I see it's ABP, dyslexia is a bicth. So what's an ABP Additional Baggage Porter?

Yup. The TOTD is the MGT schmuck that had the idea of the business model and put him on the tail.

That manager saw a picture of Ruth swinging a bat and assumed he was a famous seal hunter. :p

If you come into the cockpit and announce “hi guys! Ima pilot too!”. I will nod and say hello, and then talk **** about you as soon as you leave

Yeah, that's kinda my take on it.

My idiot brother in law that uses intermittent contrails as the basis for the military altering the weather in the name of climate change via chem-trails.

I said I’ll give your conspiracy theory’s because The govt can and will do anything if they think they can get away with it, but you’re understanding on the basics of why contrails exist and how they are made and just general atmospheric conditions and weather is completely incorrect.

He persisted and it drove me absolutely insane.

Irrelevant non-sequiter much?:rolleyes:

If you are somehow referencing the comment about the chem trail conspiracy theorist, in my experience the chem trail/flat earth/pizza porn conspiracy types are most definitely not the type I would lump in with liberals. YMMV...I guess?

Maybe not quite toolish, but definitely dorky. When people post snap shots of their flight paths around weather via radar pic or METARs on facebook.

I'm not the uniform police or anything, but why would you ask for a jumpseat ride while wearing your full uniform along with a baseball cap with his favorite sports team?! He ended up taking a seat in back but he never took his hat off. And after the flight he's standing in the jetbridge waiting for his bag and never took the hat off in full view of passengers. Maybe I'm the tool for not saying anything about it when I should have?

Jesus gawd. That’s just revolting. You should have slapped him. What a complete and utter embarrassment.

How bout a regional captain wearing his striped uniform blazer with cartoon pajama pants and fluffy slippers outside the GSP hotel smoking a cigarette? Can't unsee that.

I call BS, nobody packs slippers and no regional stays in a hotel that provides them.

The Delta captain that was clipping his fingernails in our Jumpseat today!
When he realized the Captain and I were both staring at him, he said “What’s wrong? I have a hangnail.”

I don’t care if your finger is getting ready to fall off; don’t clip your fingernails in the cockpit!

Unbelievable! My Captain and I had been joking about that LA to Vegas TV part where the guy DHs and the people are acting like animals - including clipping nails

At least you only had him 1 leg. Imagine the hundreds of DAL planes he's polluted without a 2nd thought to his fellow employees. But wait I have a hang nail!

Saw a guy with his uniform pant legs tucked into his cowboy boots the other day. Pretty awful looking.

My wife is already convinced the majority of pilots are retards.
And yes, she works in aviation.

Probably your wife does not quite understand the choice a pilot makes in life... which is to naturally mature, or become a pilot... can’t do both.:)

Have you guys ever seen the CLT E concourse?? He may have been on to something!

Can't be any worse than the south end of the D gates in ATL- Frontier on one side (D1/D1A), and Spirit on the other (D2/D4), all in the square footage of a normal, single gate, at a normal airport. It's the threshold of hell.

It's basically "Leeeroooooyyyy Jeeenkinnnnns" every time.

The fellow on 121.5 saying, "where is he" over and over until someone took the troll bait, saying, "you're on guard."

"There he is"...

I've heard a similar iteration...

"Where ya at, where ya at..."
