I love the one about the 777 vertically challenged TC who writes BOMB on a piece of paper and places it into the admin bag under the second observers seat to see if you're cockpit security check is up to par. He nearly caused a full scale bomb warning because of that silly stunt
He doesn't do that anymore. "Why" do you ask?

He tried that stunt on me so whilst he was conducting the external inspection, I called up on 121.6 for Airport Police and AVSECO to the aircraft IMMEDIATELY, stating we had a serious security breach and a confirmed threat. Then I sat back and watched the excitement unfold.

When he returned back to the flight deck, I explained what I did and he went berserk. Of course the flight was canceled and passengers were protected on other flights etc. Interestingly enough, this was not mentioned in the Friday News propaganda.

Yes, I was called into the MLO's office to explain myself - so I did. I take any category threat seriously.
.......Some of these vertically challenged steroid pumping boys are messed up.
