Yup have had my fair share of them.

I am the copilot. I sit on the right.
It's up to me to be quick and bright;
I never talk back for I have regrets,
But I have to remember what the Captain forgets.
I make out the Flight Plan and study the weather,
Pull up the gear, stand by to feather;
Make out the mail forms and do the reporting,
And fly the old crate while the Captain is courting.
I take the readings, adjust the power,
Put on the heaters when we're in a shower;
Tell him where we are on the darkest night,
And do all the bookwork without any light.
I call for my Captain and buy him cokes;
I always laugh at his corny jokes,
And once in awhile when his landings are rusty
I always come through with, "By gosh it's gusty!"
All in all I'm a general stooge,
As I sit on the right of the man I call "Scrooge";
I guess you think that is past understanding,
But maybe some day he will give me a landing.

Am sure we all have that Yes Sir Captain we dread flying with its like oh sht there goes my day not him again.

Tell us please is it his Atitude or his handling maybe the way he talks to u while its your leg practically just working up ur nerves tellin u ur too high or too low on the descent or turn right no turn left damn it I said right. and then he gets confused with ATC last message and looks at u snarling "what did he say" and thats were I go "uuuh dunno me flying donut head".

Or maybe he just messes up that nice finals ur doing unto 18r with that sudden go down go down go down and pushing on the controls then yanks the flare of ur hands and BANG there goes that nice greaser I was about to perform!!!

Tell us
