411A: KBUR, many years ago.
A DC-7 pulls up to the terminal, and no ground agent is in sight.
The airplane is parked, engines shut down, and the Captain's head is noticed from the open left DV window.
An agent appears.
The Captain yells...'hey, a**hole, where are the f*****g boarding stairs?
All 80 passengers that were waiting to board, have second thoughts, and depart the area.
Flight canceled.
The very next day, the offending Captain was 'canceled' from the company.
Wasn't you was it 411A?
Many a year ago I sat in the RHS of a 737 in darkest Africa and watched a skipper having a similiar fit with the 'natives'. The performance culminated in him thrusting his upper body out the cockpit window so he could 'hock a loogie' in their eye for laughing at his protestations.
I sat there watching and thought - I gotta get outta Africa before I go nuts like this poor b'stard.
Thank God I did, and am still of sound mind.
