Since we are part of the Group…..a few from KA.
"Ready for a quick brief….. ?". Ninety seconds later they are still rambling on about nothing via a CTWO+ diatribe.
"OK for a normal boarding Captain?". I must ask one day WTF the alternatives are.
"Speed noted". Yes Ace you are +2kts with the ATHR on so what are you going to do- will the speed back?
"Threats are Home Port Complacency". Oh thank goodness a 200 hour pilot has identified a legitimate threat- but then you ask him about it and realize its a buzz word he heard but doesn't understand.
"I'm going to Emirates…."
"I'm too busy to volunteer for the union committee". Single and outspoken guy and no kids generally.
"GeoffComs". Never in my career have I come across…
"These SOPs have stood the test of time…." CX pilot on exchange at KA as the CP and the day after he left a project was put in force to get rid of the CX oral diarrhea out of the SOPs.
