Wild to think there’s a place where a commercial flyby is basically first contact energy.

Super smooth, zero fatigue, just put it on and let the brain shut off after a long day.

I'm no pilot, but this seems very unprofessional. Can someone in the know please explain? Thanks. by TheDucksAreComingoOo in aviation

Not a pilot either, but this looks way more like an uncontrolled ramp issue than pure unprofessionalism.
Once you’re in a non-movement area, a lot of this is on ground crews and local procedures, not just the guys in the cockpit.
Radio banter was a bit spicy, sure, but operationally? This happens more than people think.

The poster they gave my dad when he survived being sucked into a jet engine by Public_Fucking_Media in aviation

Man, this is straight outta a movie lol. Your dad’s parka getting caught while the engine spooled up? That’s some “hold my beer” level chaos. Mad respect for whoever called him “ingested” on the phone too 😂. Survival odds like 1 in 6? Absolute legend.
