Pilot gives the finger

Anyone know what this is all about? Not very professional :/

Lol!

 

Im pretty sure professionalism doesn't matter outside of flying the plane. They're corporate folks, they won't get sacked for it.

 

Either a simple joke, or he had a bad experience on the island.

I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.

I do it all the time

Just because they're pilots doesn't mean that they're not knuckleheads. I deal with them every day.

Either that, OR because the camera is pointing in only one direction....how about....maybe, just maybe a rude gesture, or the finger was given back to Him.....You can see both looking over. Not one of them looked happy at the camera.

 

Just saying. Usually two sides to a story. Also, who knows what was going on behind the camera man.

Happens out here on the railroad too. Many times though, it's someone on the ground or in a vehicle stopped at a road crossing flipping us off. I like to open the locomotive window smile and give them a wave back. Nothing like countering a little negativity!

That aircraft belongs to the Bank of America, maybe that explains it. I would hate my job too if I had to fly some greedy soulless banksters all around the world, though that really doesn't explain one would give a finger to an innocent spotter. 

 

Or maybe Bank of America's pilots represent their general values. Their website sure seems to be full of disgusting emotional propaganda right now. 

 

Though admittedly I don't know whether the aircraft is actually operated by Bank of America or just owned by it.

I doubt that, I can't see why this guy would do that to a random aircraft. 

He's telling the whole world that his plane is #1   Stolen from Dandy Don Meredith.

Probably just a joke, or maybe he realized he was gonna end up on YouTube and saw the opportunity to anger some aviation nerds. If some random guy pointed a video camera at me at work I'd want to flip him off as well.

He seems to be giving the finger to a bunch of people.  I know the aircraft is moving but he doesn't seem to be fixated just on the camera man.  

 

Just seemed kinda strange :)  My first thought was that he's pi$$ed of with all the people that stand right up against the fence looking for a face full of exhaust fumes

Extremely unprofessional. This reminds me of the people that start screaming matches over the CTAF because some one cut some one off.
