Tool of the day

I have 23 years of near 100% hand flying...I don't think I need a whole lot more practice following flight director bars above 10,000 feet. Besides, I'm lazy.

That was actually the one major bone I had to pick with the most recent training program I went through. They said if the FD is on, you strictly follow it. Not good.. not good at all. Scan first, then look at the bars, they should verify what you want to do.

Capt Ugly, was by far the ugliest female on earth. But as a new and happy FO on the Brazilla for a now defunct WestAir I was happy to be moving up. Third turn of the day SBA-LAX. She got hungry. Decided it was time for lunch on a 20 minute turn. She comes flying up the stairs right before door closure on a 90 degree summer day with a steaming container of brussell sprouts and baked salmon! TOOL!!!

I didn't say that Disco wasn't a nice guy, I said his hair color was unnatural and didn't match his age. I brought this up because I saw another over 60 guy this morning and his hair color was..........well........not natural. Gray hair is dignified and goes with the wrinkles.

That guy who flys for any given express carrier and goes around telling people he flys for United or whatever other legacy airline that is painted on the side of his RJ. Don't forget he usually sports the United lanyard as well just to be more convincing. He can usually be found at the hotel bar on overnights trying to impress the ladies.

First Officer Smiling Jack at Delta (Airbus 319). Please, for the love of God, someone tell that toolbag to ditch the whole "Laaaadddiiiiees and Gentlemen, First Office Smiling Jack from the flight deck" he continues with something like "so when I decide it's time to start the engines, you're going to hear a strange sound, rrrrrrrrrehh, rreeeeeeehhh, like a air wrench at your local auto repair show." He refers to himself no less than 4 times as First Office Smilin' Jack. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHE.
