Ok here we go... its been a slow day. So just wondering what is the best prank youve played on the "new guy".

brokenwing · Post by **brokenwing** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 3:29 pm

tell him he's fired......? then wait till he's been cryin' for about a half hour to tell him it was just a joke.

or go to his house on lunch break and do the old "upper deck" in his bathroom

buy him lunch as a greeting and burry hot peppers in the bun. Hunan peppers work best. Small and blistering hot, by the time he realises whats going on its to late. He'll be singin johnny cash for a week. "i fell into a burnin ring of fire..."

HAHA, We got the boss the other day, I flew into YXL and got ramped, so remebering that about a week before the insurance slip was removed for the renewal one.

So after I was checked I called the a co-worker and told him to tell the boss that the plane was grounded cause he forgot to put the new insurance in and that the plane couldn't move until the original was in the plane. That the guy was going to lose it, he didn't know what to think..

fun times, I love messin with the management

Gas one in the plane and ask him if he smells smoke....

Ask him to look out the window and tell you if there's any ice on the prop in flight.

Tell a guy that he's fired, but that he can keep his job if he can guess why you're firing him.

I shook the yoke on a Captain in training on the SW4 while he turned on the SAS. FEAR was VERY prevalant on his face but at least he got the joke...and paybacks are a bitch!

Give a guy a urine sample bottle and tell him the Ops Manager requires a urine sample as part of the Ministry of Health approval process. Then tell him to put his name on it and put it on the bosses desk.

If you got a old hanger tell him it is haunted. Make sure everyone is in on it, and the oldest guy at you hanger is the one with the best stories about the ghost. It happened to me my first ramp job, and it took me about 6 months before a air canada ticket agent told me that the guys over at the hanger where pulling my leg.

I am still scared if I go back to that hanger and there is no one around at night

That has to be one of the best.

Another I hear was telling the new guy that the plane he spent all day flight trainning in was past inspection, all the trainning is invalid and TC is going to want to talk to him.

Had a pilot with a voice pager standing in line at a bank.Paged him and said " MR XXXXX THIS IS DOCTOR XXXXX. YOUR TEST RESULTS ARE IN AND YOU AND YOUR GENTLEMAN FRIEND HAD BETTER COME IN AND SEE ME RIGHT AWAY." Guy just about broke his belt attempting to shut the pager off.Another one is a few drops of ammonia on the foam sock covering the boom mic. Or vaseline on the ear cups. Or ladies panties or bra in the brain bag. Or ask a co-hort to put apple juice in a sample cup and do the "boss needs a urine sample" trick, grab the sample and do a taste test.

I was flying a king air with a fairly new guy. During his leg, I put my foot behind the rudder pedals and shook the elevator cables that run back there. The look of horror was priceless. He asked me to take control and feel this "vibration". Wouldn't you know it, when I took control, it stopped. After the fourth time (each progressively worst), he was convinced we had a serious flight control problem and that the elevator was going to fall off. I was laughing so loud, I was crying. I'm a jerk

This works best up north when you have to share accomodations. I introduce smurfing. Take the inside of a couple of bic pens and place them in the freezer. Then in the morning cut them into 1 inch long pieces after you shower, take the pieces and put them into the shower head. Buddy will turn the shower on see nothing then as the ink thaws he will notice his skin start to turn blue for no apparent reason. I love the smurf thing.

Stool sample works better. Tell him it is needed right now! When he looks around for something to use, give him a Tim Hortons bag and have him give it to the boss.

Of course the boss is going to think that the new guy is ultra keen and has brought in some Tim Bits or something!!!!

we had just reached cruise, set the auto pilot, and the pax were comfortable. as the captain prepared to eat his meal, i chugged a can o f canada dry and held the belch back as long as i could. as soon as the capt. put a forkfull of food in his yapper, i let it rip into the mic... man, that sucker must have lasted about 10 seconds. anyway ,he spewed all over his lap and i almost pissed myself laughing.the pax must have thought we were nuts

Hello

1. Kick the autopilot off using various ways till they clue in.

2. Pointing out landmarks in decents to hear the speed horn till they clue in.
3. Telling them about the stuck mike they just had and getting them to appologise to center. Till they clue in.
4. Using your foot to play with the elevator. Till they clue in.

Theres lots more I just dont have time. But oddly enough my cojoes buy lots of beer.

applies to aircraft with control columns that are floor based... won't work in yer cessna/navajo/King Air types. Can be entertaining at times especially with non-autopilot equipped a/c

on the beech wait til the captain has a nap, close the doors, put your pant leg over the fire test, scream in his ear that you are on fire . and then....................................................................................

Slap his hands away when he reaches for the T handle

When you get the new guy, right off the 1900, change all the winds in the FMC(when they go to the can). Make them all headwinds, on the nose at over 300 knots. If they have no idea of when to start down, from fl410, this will really mess them up. Wait until they are 60 miles or so from the airport then start to quiz them on their alt. and distance from the airport. All hell will break lose, and you will not be able to help, because you are laughing too hard to do anything.....
