Yes, I did once. He was an ex-military pilot.

No, he was a TOOL!

I fly with ex-military pilots all the time, I'm one myself, none of them wear nomex gloves at their airline job...

Heck, most of the heavy drivers never wore them while flying in the military!

In my first 4.5 years at DL, i flew with 4 guys that weren't ex-military. Not a single kneeboard among them.

Might want to revise how you're defining him.

As Timbo stated, that is truly TOTD worthy!

FYI Drank this thread isn't a competition to see who can be the biggest tool.

But if it were, you sure be in the running.

I was ready to taze myself by end of it.

The one guy that had the kneeboard was ex-military. The others who wore the gloves were civilian, not military. Still...tools in all.

I recognize the pen and the logbook, but everything else in that picture is a mystery to me. They appear to be instruments related to navigation, but then again I don't see a 'DIR' button anywhere.

TOTD: Anybody who verbalizes every single switch actuation they do. With the rare exception of those that require verbalizing, just DO it, don't tell me about it. I'm not blind.

"Window heat is now... <click> ON."

Or they talk their way through an approach.

"I'm going vert speed... LOC is armed (no kidding, I can see you do both), LOC is alive, capture, GS armed. GS alive, capture, here we go..." All on a visual approach where you can see the runway 25 miles away.

I want to start making "Shhh. Shhhhh, it'll be all right" noises.

This has probably already been nominated. If so, I'm the tool for repeating it, but it's driving me nuts.
