   Literally the most “arrogant boomer pilot” article I’ve ever read.

   Sorry man, but you’re a dick if you’re doing the shitty radio pronunciation in day to day life. I see this with guys who use the ICAO-mandated “tree“ instead of saying “three”. It’s very needless and arrogant, like they’re baiting people to ask so they can brag about being lord of the skies.

   Dummy, we’re just bus drivers with a vertical axis. Calm it down.

     I hate working with guys like this. Note how self-centered he is here. He’s not smart enough - or not interested enough - to understand that humans ballpark an area when talking about their homes. Once you hone in local, THEN you get detail.

     Maybe he’s just autistic. I just really hate people who can’t keep up, who can’t put 8% of their mental CPU into a conversation but still manage to whine about how confusing it is.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot He sounds autistic, that's some primo pedantry.

     It's "over."

     @MeBigbrain What’s even more baffling is that we never say “over”, I can’t even think of hearing it outside of students learning to use radios for the first time. It might be a company thing

     @WashedOutGundamPilot She already clarified where she currently lived, why is he confused by the concept that people could have lived in multiple places at points in the past?

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @MeBigbrain You should all say "ROGER" instead, much more authentic.

     @RupertvonRipp @MeBigbrain The fun of being in the little guy’s pool is that everything’s more relaxed.

     I’ve said “tally ho!” more than a few times just to keep a controller awake when everyone’s sleepy and quiet

     chandler and glendale are parts of phoenix and everyone without crippling autism would say they're from the more recognizable place even if it's not Technically Correct in the Exact Autistic Administrative Boundary way

     @WashedOutGundamPilot It might be more of a military thing to do that, though even the military can fuck it up. I remember an officer getting mad at someone of lower rank ending communication ("out") even though that was proper etiquette (the person who said it initiated the communication).

     @MeBigbrain @RupertvonRipp Seen a few with such accents they were borderline unintelligible. The only way people kept up was because the routine of everyone else provided enough clues for them making the same calls.

     I’d try not to fly into phoenix, particularly mesa. The other smaller ports have a lot of chink student traffic, but the only one with 737s is the eastern one, and I’m sure some dummy’s gonna kill a lot of people someday

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @MeBigbrain So are there any jet pilot kings who believe in chemtrails?

     @RupertvonRipp @MeBigbrain There have been some pranks but AFAIK they’re kinda frowned upon, company starts snooping when you make a tiktok in uniform talking about the chemtrails.

     Given the fact most anyone has to have done the walkarounds themselves, nobody really believes in them, unless the idea is that the additives are being put inside the Jet-A.

     Maybe the most realistic (and true) chemtrail take is that the ones doing it are special spray aircraft operated by “geoengineering” firms

     Next article is similarly old. Good heavens, our industry must be 80% boomers. Every one of these is a guy reminiscing about something half a century ago. Wonder how cheap planes will tank once they’re gone.

     Gosh damn, it just keeps going. This thing is just talking to old guys at the airport, discovering things that have been around for at least a decade. He literally picked the shittiest, gayest mount from the teenage girls’ corolla to mount on his dash. Should’ve just gotten something like a RAM mount or one of those $500 locking ones. Much better, and articulated.

     come on, old man.

     @skylar I’ve bolted way too many ram balls onto everything I own. If I buy a plane, it’ll probably have 2 on the ceiling and 4 on the dash

     @WashedOutGundamPilot somewhere down my list of projects is to cut out a piece of 1/8" steel to fit a little recess in my dash and then tap some 1/4-20 threads into it. maybe some nearby USB ports too.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @MeBigbrain Of all the conspiracies out there chemtrails just feels the most... retarded? Least parsimonious? The sky is /big/, after all, and putting out enough stuff to weird things on the ground would be very weighty... and there's nothing that plays with planes quite like weight.
