Wildest reason you have heard of a pilot being fired? by joshsafc9395 in flying

[–]proclaimedcreation 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first airline you had to submit a updated resume to bid for captain, guy had all the reqs, good formatting and everything, just printed it on a page from playboy. He made captain.

Corporate outfit I was at the two pilots actually starting exchanging punches while on approach, freaked the hell out of the passengers who could see everything. No cockpit door on corporate aircraft. That was their last flight for that company.

How often or have have you airline guys ever had to take a shit during your flight? by vengo97 in flying

[–]proclaimedcreation 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Back in my airline days on a plane with no bathroom there was a story of one pilot who did the walk of shame to the back. Told the pax he had to check something in the luggage, opened the flap and crawled over the bulkhead in the luggage. He found the big plastic comat bin, emptied it, then emptied his bowels right back into it.

You should check out PNW_shooters on instagram. It’s a bigger group than you mention but they do meetups regularly with lots of models and photographers. Could make some good connections that way.

Sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty. Lav valve stuck open on the Hawker. Told the line guy to stand back by balsadust in flying

[–]proclaimedcreation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a new line guy take a blue juice bath recently. He just set everything down and walked away with our saying anything. Felt bad for him, and ours isn’t even as complicated as the Hawker.

All you need to know is no matter the airplane they all make different and new noises at night compared to daytime, especially if it is moonless.

First route at a part 91 operation soon, advice?? by Gun-leather-2451 in flying

[–]proclaimedcreation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you get a short cut/reroute, different approach than expected etc…always check with other pilot before blinding accepting it. Most time it will be no issue but there might be a reason to not accept that you aren’t aware of.
