Dumb Things You've Seen Today
Thought this could be a fun thread. Let's post dumb things, without naming names. Maybe somebody will learn from it.
In YPM a last week it was 12c (that's +12 degrees) and these two Navajos landed and put engine tents on. When they left, it was 15c.
I says.....DUMB

I heard today that flight attendants at a certain airline are paying $1700 for their training....what has happened to this industry?
Re: Dumb Things You've Seen Today
Maybe dumb, but maybe it's in the company SOP.
Re: Dumb Things You've Seen Today
It's -2 right now. Maybe these guys just don't have as much faith in the forecast as you do. The weather turned cold after that little heatwave last week. Besides, how do you know they weren't sure they'd depart the next day?Illya Kuryakin wrote:Thought this could be a fun thread. Let's post dumb things, without naming names.

Re: Dumb Things You've Seen Today
I wish I had got a photo of it this morning.... but a howling wind with the windsock straight out and a 172 strategically parked tail-first into it.
Geez did I say that....? Or just think it....?
Re: Dumb Things You've Seen Today
This entire thread!
Are we not professionals? Instead of sitting in your seat looking at what everyone else is doing wrong, maybe just maybe why don't you sit back and think about all the things you just did wrong on the last flight(s). This thread has as much professionalism and integrity as the guard dogs on 21.5.

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself
An' it's all right now, yeah, learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself

To err is human, to recover is good training
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

Does it have to be aviation related? Some asshole truck driver on the Yellowhoead thought it would be fun to drive on the shoulder today and spray a ton of rocks up at my car.

Awitzke, play Jimmy Buffet's Asshole Song, loud, it will make you feel better and remind you of us on AvCanada!
Last Saturday night, late, some assh*le shot off a bear banger and woke the whole marina. Then he fired a shot. Assholes! We are surrounded by them! I have a spare anchor and some chain if he ever does that again.
Pelmet, I am tempted to call you an well, a rude name. But the rules say I have to play nice.
