Booger pickers...... Nothing like looking over and seeing the other guy playing Dig Dug. Even better if they wipe it on something in the cockpit.

Flying with a CA who's so concerned with making that extra .1 per leg that we're flying 20 to 30 knots slower than econ cruise. Asked for 5L @ Raleigh last night just so we could bag another .1 taxiing. I watched the guy changing the cruise airspeed in the FMS EVERY 5 minutes! LGA-MKE was the most painful. Intermittent light chop at 240 & above; so he levels at 220. We spent the last 45 min inbound to MKE @ 16,000 and 250 indicated. SUPER F'ING TOOL
I'm all for making a few bucks extra if you can, but this guy is ridiculous. Badgering the gate agents to get the door closed 5 to 10 min early, only to sit on the gate. Making the American guys look like SWA by taxiing as slowly as possible. Even going so far as to watch the ACARS and tell the FAs to hold on opening the door until the clock rolls on to the next minute. Unbelievable.
It wouldn't be so bad if he had an actual personality. He was "in radio" as a DJ for years, apparently. His PA announcements are over the top. Had to listen to a 5 minute dissertation about the cities along our route of flight from ATL to DCA- at midnight. Shut up already! Everybody wants to friggin sleep!
Douche.

The DL MD88 CA who denied my buddy the jumpseat. The guy asked for his cert and medical along with his badge (he was in uniform) and my buddy said jokingly "You want to see my motorcycle license too?" Reply: "Son if you are going to be a smarta** you can find another ride." The FO did the whole mime a gun in his mouth schtick after this exchange. That's going to be a loooong 4 day.
