here's a couple of others I've seen:-----Miami Tower: Cactus 556, Miami Tower, Please verify you have whiskey...Cactus 556: Negative tower, but we'll get it now.-----Phoenix Tower, Delta 337 with you inbound with Whiskey, but dont tell America West.-----Heard on an America West flight:Ladies and Gentlemen this is your captian, we've had reports of turbulence ahead, so we're go ahead and fly through it so we can mix up our drinks...------Enjoy!-------------Lahso"The one fellow who is really broke in the air is the one who is out of both altitude and airspeed" (Wolfgang Langewieche, Stick and Rudder)

Another I've hears is...What do you call the autopilot in an America West plane? -The designated driver

I saw on the news last night that the pilots have pleaded not guilty! Too bad you guys seem to have already found them guilty.dek

Apparently when the refuelling truck arrived, they asked for 24 pints...Rob

:-lol This one really made my day. :-lolTake careMike

Oh for the love of Pete....Whether or not anybody's been found guilty or pled guilty, the fact remains that the accusation is in the public domain. Much like when a Northwest pilot got himself in similar hot water about 15 years ago. No, they didn't plead guilty (they didn't plead innocent, either... they no-showed on the court appearance which made the judge way happy and their attorneys entered the not guilty plea for them). They're going to stand trial for it. They're still going to get their chops busted over it in the court of public opinion.And....The bar tab was $120. They have video from the bar. The electronic room keys show that they didn't go back to their room until after 0400 EDT (for a 1000 EDT flight). They'd better find a way to plead out of this, else they're going to get to be guests of the taxpayers of Florida for a while.
