Alright, cool guy to fly with sounds like.

Then he says:

"Welcome aboard this Canadair Whisperjet."

No. No sir. There is one "Whisperjet".

The BAe-146's that Air Wisconsin used to fly were nicknamed the "whisperjet" due to their quiet engines. Maybe he's an old 146 driver. Still doesn't make any sense referring to a CRJ as that however...

This^^^ The bus radios are a special kind of evil.

Deafening, really

GF

The -219s glued to the sides with the -17 in the center cut 800 hours of climb to about 200

. On ferry flights with cookie sheets as ballast, climb rates would astound ATC. They always asked to confirm type. I told them we were a 727 with afterburner.

It probably hasn't been mentioned for at least a hundred pages, so-

How about the Captain that lines all the Flight Attendants up in a 100 degree jetway, and conducts a briefing that verges on a mini-recurrent course?

"All exits means ALL EXITS, including the tailcone . . . . The Manual is clear about the use of personal cell phones . . . . .If I ask for a beverage, I want it in an un-opened can".

Hmmm . . . wonder why that last part has become necessary?
