“Unknown airport with Cessna 150 circling overhead, identify yourself…”
Who do you believe…?
Allegedly heard while on ground control in MIA:
VIRGIN Flt: "Every time I come to MIA you women controllers give us a hard time!"
ATC: "For the nine years I have been a controller, I have never had a problem handling a VIRGIN…."
It could be worst…
The only thing worse than a captain who never flew as copilot is a copilot who once was a captain…
Captains beware…
Be nice to your first officer, he may be your captain at your next airline…
Who would you choose…?!!
Allegedly heard on a Southwest Airlines flight:
Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt, and if you don’t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn’t be out in public unsupervised.
In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face.
If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more.
Are you really more important than… Air Force One?
Hat tip to Devesh Agarwal finding and posting this humorous video of an American Airlines pilot thinking his aircraft’s movement is more important than that of a VIP (“What’s that?”) – which turned out to be Air Force One:
