So what's up with the 121.5 twits?

Why do it? It is the boredom of night flying out in the boonies or something?

It sorta disturbs me that an apparently increasing number of pilots recently are demonstrating a mental maturity while they're flying which approximates that of a 2 year old (though arguably that might be insulting to many 2 year olds).

Aside from the stupid sounds and moronic comments, what takes the cake is someone deciding to clog up 121.5 with their ipod music for a minute. I like nothing more than a good joke, a funny quote, or some music. But not on the emergency frequency.

In a time where we're struggling to keep T's & C's at some reasonable level and show people how we deserve to be paid and treated as professionals, I can't thank you enough for making anyone listening out think we're a bunch of complete tossers.
