Get on the &@%$-ing plane and shut the @$%&* UP!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070408/ap_on_fe_st/foul_mouthed_pilot

ROMULUS, Mich. - A Northwest Airlines flight was canceled because the pilot was yelling obscenities during a cell phone conversation while people were boarding, and cursed one passenger, a federal official said Saturday.


The pilot of the Las Vegas-to-Detroit flight was apparently in a heated cell phone conversation in the cockpit, then went into a lavatory, locked the door and continued the conversation, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said Saturday.

3. Goody.
This is the kind of stuff that makes me have a hard time waiting until Qualcomm finishes designing that chip that is going to allow people to use their cell phones during flights.

Won't that just be special?:banghead:

8. Oh, I want to fly on with THAT airline!

Is it me, or has airline service progressively gotten worse in the past 15 years?

9. You mean "Northworst?"
Their HQ is here and they are incredibly anti-union. They've dropped wages so many times over the years and laid off union mechanics so they could hire cheaper non-union ones.
