You make coffee cutting off the top of a coke can, filling with water and spoon of coffee, and placing in galley oven ( because the other crew kept the hot-cup when handing over the a/c...)

My two favorites both happened to me.......
1- when you know crew scheds had to have dialed 20+ numbers to get your room,, then asks "Where are you????'. "I don't know, figure it out and call me back" click.
2- when crew scheds asks "What Z-time is it where you are?" .... I sh*t you not.
The winner,, game,set and match....
If you've ever flown a flight were V1 was starter cut-out on #4....

It has also been argued that "flaps up" equals "equal time point". While this has merit in the "where are we going?" stage,, the "V1 = starter cutout on #4 rule" rules supreme in the "we are leaving here, now" phase.

Yup. Been there done a lot of them and only flew freight for about a year. Seemed like it was always a dark and stormy night in a broken down old hulk. Almost glad I'm too old to do it again.
