Dumb things in aviation.

1. A co pilot ( or cow pilot as he was called at first) should be a fully qualified pilot, ACTING as second in command. In other words, he should have passed all the tests to be captain. Yet it isn't that way yet.

2. Calling USAIRWAYS flights "CACTUS" on the radio is pretty damn stupid.

3. Line up and wait instead of Position and Hold...take 4 words to do the job of 3...really efficient. And in japan it will sound like: Rine up and wait. Instead of Position and Hord.
