Pilot: Arghhhh!!! - I will make you eat these words, you hear? Nobody, you hear?, -Nobody puts down my plane in front of me (gets punched in the face by the mechanic and falls).
Whaaat!!??..Dude u surely dont know what u r talkin about!!..5 years noway!!..it only takes 13 months in a full time course!! all u need is LOADS of money as the cost of the courses are very expensive that's it!!
@skywagon5 now the thing about this pilot is that he DOES NOT need to clean his windshield, as he flies a PLANE. PLANES tend to be cared for by other people, thar is what their job is. To be a pilot, you have to train for 5 years. If you want a bus driver to fly your next plane, be my guest. You really lack respect for others.
@SixShooter00Camaro Looks like another Skywest pilot out of touch with reality. Let's clear things up here. This is a Chautauqua E145 in IAD, a few years ago before Skywest started flying out of Dulles. XJT pilots are nothing but professional, your stereotype is way off. This pilot had a legitimate writeup and the mechanic was sick of doing his job. Way to back your peers.
Blame it on the unions. I have inside info. and I can tell you that it is next to impossible to fire a mechanic and I can tell you some horror stories. They know that and don't give a damm. All the idiots making comments about the pilot need to grow up but it is to late for many of you. How do you know what happen? You don't and no matter how mad you get, you can't lay a hand on some one.
THAT PILOT IS A LOOSER A TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL.LET THE BUS DRIVER HAVE IT.CRY BABY WHINER PILOT.THERE SO LAZY THEY DONT EVEN WANT TO WASH THERE OWN WINSHIELDS.CANT IMAGINE THE CAR HE DIRVES PROBABALY WITH BALD TIRES.LOL
@skywagon5 Hmmm. If the pilot is "looser" maybe he should be tightened up... now if he was a "loser" that might be a different story. As for the rest of your post, it'd take me all day to translate it into what we call "English"
@skywagon5 So lazy they don't even want to wash 'there' own windhshields? My retard translator says you were trying to say ...wash their (!) windshield. Look at this video. It will blow your mind /watch?v=DuQgcCTEsDM A pilot actually washing his windshield. You're just jealous. Idiot!
That Pilot got what he deserved.In the near future planes will be flown like the pilotless drons over Afganistan and the pilots will be digging ditches and standing in the soup lines.LOL.
@skywagon5 Pilots are already digging ditches and standing in soup lines. Guys like the FO's that fly for this regional start out their first year making sub-poverty level wages. Tight. When some dickhead mechanic (who is probably getting paid more than you) starts throwing blows at your broke ass (regardless of what you may have said) it's insult to injury. I hope they both got reprimanded and the mechanic shitcanned. Uncalled for!
@seoceancrosser Yeah well it would be cool if some pilots didnt just write things up because they dont feel like flying that day or because they have a switch in the wrong position
Oh man! I spent almost five years in the Air Force working almost daily with the aircrew and never-ever had the first though of punching out one of these guys. As a mechanic I always had it in the back of mind that these guys were putting their faith and confidence in my abilitiy to fix these flying machines. What the hell ?!?!?!
I have seen better...without saying my employer, I have had a flight divert into MCO from TPA, and well, we had a physical altercation between pilot and flight atd, thankfully, we had a replacement flt atd to work the rest of the trip over to TPA!
I can relate to that mechanic. There are those few pilots that think when an aircraft is declared "down for maintenance" it will fly no matter what so they can get the flight time and not piss off the passengers.
@e081194eng You were the one trying to sound like one. I'm just saying, you do not know what went on, so I don't see how you can relate to pilot or mechanic.
@e081194eng What in your right mind makes you think us pilots WANT to endanger ourselves AND the lives of our passengers for monetary gain or flight time? I've been flying for 11 years and have met hundreds of pilots, NONE of them would agree with you. They'd get paid their block time anyway, regardless of if they flew or not.
Good for the Mechanic......these pilots (not all of them) can be "narcissistic assholes". The industry is UPSIDE DOWN in "pay" because A & P's can not stick together. Until this "old guard" goes away (A & P's who will belly-ache, throw you under the bus, lack leadership by example etc), we will continue to be UNDER-PAID and valued less than a Bi-Polar Flight Attendant. The plane doesn't fly unless we sign it off as "airworthy".
@oneapmechanic The plane also ceases to fly when you punch the pilot in the face...neither party is right, however the guy who threw the first blow should get the harshest punishment for losing his cool, regardless of how much of a dick the pilot may or may not have been that day. The whole scenario wreaks of piss poor behavior, neither party is being professional.
And just so you can keep calling me a communist, That came from Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer (who worked with Senator Ted Kennedy on airline deregulation in the 1970s)
I don't blame the mechanic, every time i'm in pre-flight I take a peek at one of those guys and they just have this look, like all they ever wanted was to fly. I'm not putting the flight crew down either, sometimes I ask THEM about my airplane, they always have the answer.
No one watching this video really knows what words were exchanged, but violence, especially at the work place is NOT tolerated. Think of how embarrassing it must be for the companies or the terrified customers viewing a fight between a pilot and mechanic employed by the company. A person's pay, social class or position within the company gives no right to deck anyone. I would have felt the same way if the pilot would have hit the mechanic. So if you are there 34 years its OK? WRONG.
i hope that asshole was firered i can see he is black just like them trying to say do what i say or i will beat you up lol send his as home back to the getto
@diapermanful Well, what do you expect when you get a flying public who wants to pay 50 bucks for a ticket. keep in mind, with inflation taken into account, Airline tickets across the board are 10-20% cheaper than they were even 10 years ago.
@MyleneJ Not the flying publics fault for paying the lowest available price. If the airlines would drop the bargain basement fares, the public would than have to pay what it actually costs to operate the flight. The airlines are so afraid to lose a fractional percentage of market share that they ruined the industry by even offering fares lower than what it costs to provide a decent service.
@diapermanful Not the publics fault hm? Carriers like United, don't -want- to drop their fares, never have. But with carriers like Southwest, Jet Blue and so on charging bargain basement fares, The major carriers have to compete somehow, and the only way to do that anymore is price matching. and you can thank Regan's Airline Deregulation for that, prior to De-reg, airlines competed with Service, after it became a price war.
@MyleneJ Rock bottom fares??Do you price shop at all?? Jet Blue, and especially Southwest, are rarely the lowest fare in markets where they compete with the legacies.Bash Southwest and Jet Blue all you want, but they consistantly offer a better domestic product with higher customer satisfaction than all the legacies, including your beloved United, offer. Don't like de-regulation?? Move to Russia or Cuba--a free competitive market is what our system is based on.
@MyleneJ I'd still love to know what you have against de-regulation and the free market system that our economic system was built on. If the Southwest business model does allow it to charge less (which it doesn't always--naturally you pulled an example of them being less to argue your side),than what's wrong with that??In a free market system,it's sink or swim and UA and the other legacies have been doing a good job not being able to change their business model to modern times.
@diapermanful What I have against De-Regulation, is the fact that it ended competition by service, and forced an Unnecessary price war. That alone is reason enough not to like it in my opinion. As for the Fares, i picked a random date (Dec. 17th) went to Southwest first, and went from there. I have no need to try and manipulate facts for my own good when they already speak for themselves. Nice try though.
@MyleneJ Unnnecessary price war?? It's called competition in a free market system.Like I said earlier...If you can't stand the heat,move to Cuba.You would feel at home in a Communist setting with no free enterprise economic system.If service is that important to you,nothing is stopping you from flying a legacy carrier and paying $2,000 to sit up front away from the riff-raff and have your precious behind pampered like it was still 1970.
@diapermanful Well, I've done my best to stay civil, but all you've done is proven you're full of ignorance. I have no idea how old you are or what possible experience you have with communism but the fact you think everything is THAT cut and dry 'good and bad' shows how little you actually know about economics. Price wars are reckless, forcing that sort of situation is even worse, and not what makes Capitalism Great, in fact it leads to "outsourcing to china".
@MyleneJ How am I full of ignorance??WN,B6,and G4 have proven that you can have a low cost model and be a successful, profitable airline that treats their employees well.Capitalism at its finest.Communism=no competition. Capitalism=Survival of the fittest (WN,B6,G4), gloom and doom and wishing for the days of regulation when you had no competition (UA,AA,DL).
@diapermanful You can compete more ways than just Dollar Vs Dollar, the fact that you can't see or understand that proves my "ignorance" statement as does your "no competition statement" but I'll humor you with a list: PanAm, Eastern, TWA, United, American, Delta, and more all Competed against each other for almost a century using SERVICE STANDARDS over DOLLARS to do so. De-Reg killed Airlines TRUE ability to do this and that's why almost any long term airline employee will Agree.
@MyleneJ Actually, the airlines you mentioned all were regulated by the now defunct CAA prior to de regulation.This includes fares, which weren't controled by market forces but were determined and set by the government.Service standards placed no role in the picture--it was entirely the government setting fares and granting route authorities (the airlines couldn't fly wherever they wanted domestically like now).
@MyleneJ (Continued)When de regulation happened and airlines had to competed based on free market forces and didn't have the gov't imposing socialist principles to running private enterprise,airlines were put in a sink or swim situation where those that were able to adapt survived the best *cough cough* Southwest, JetBlue *cough cough*
Hope you took notes on the history lesson, Comrade.
@MyleneJ Oh, yeah, Comrade....Southwest has many long term employees that have been with the company for decades that will not agree with your doom and gloom Communist principles while they are enjoying being among the best compensated work groups in the industry.
@diapermanful FYI, Southwest is 140 million in the hole and set to start layoffs come summer if something doesn't change. Frontier is in the same boat, with layoffs coming the First quarter of 2012. And further more, What the fuck does any of this have to do with Communism at All? If you want a History Lesson, Do some reading on your own.
@diapermanful Okay, You want a History lesson. Here from a Report on the subject:
What does the industry's history tell us, Was this effort worthwhile? Certainly it shows that every major reform brings about new unforeseen problems. No one foresaw the industry's spectacular growth, with the number of air passengers increasing from 207.5 million in 1974 to 721.1 million last year.
@diapermanful (continued) As a result, no one foresaw the extent to which new bottlenecks would develop: a flight-choked Northeast corridor, overcrowded airports, delays, and terrorist risks consequently making air travel increasingly difficult. Nor did anyone foresee the extent to which change might unfairly harm workers in the industry. Still, fares have come down.
@diapermanful Airline revenue per passenger mile has declined from an inflation-adjusted 33.3 cents in 1974, to 13 cents in the first half of 2010. In 1974 the cheapest round-trip New York-Los Angeles flight (in inflation-adjusted dollars) that regulators would allow: $1,442. Today one can fly that same route for $268. That is why the number of travelers has gone up. So we sit in crowded planes, munch potato chips, flare up when the loudspeaker announces yet another flight delay.
@MyleneJ Well, Comrade, I'm going to take the high road and agree to disagree with you and end this now. It's obvious this would go on indefinatly with each of us rehashing the same points and not moving on. Have a nice life, and hope that some day you can find some inner peace and find the luv in your heart. My holiday present to you is letting you have the last word here becuause it's obvious you need it more than I do. Buh-bye!!!!
@diapermanful Fair enough, You want to drop it, we can drop it. However, as a U.S. Citizen, and someone with a Long Military history in my family myself included. You can take your "Comrade" bullshit and shove it where the sun don't shine.
@romantic340 that mech has the lives of every many woman and child on that plane. I should know i use to do the inspections before the pilots flew the birds
@romantic340 I agree with you there is one video involving regional pilots getting low pay, endless work shifts, and very sad living conditions when they get home. That's why they are always pressured too much to the breaking point.
The A&P Mechanic was just reminding the Pilot that these are his planes and you better not bring it back damaged, or else. Was an A&P Mechanic in another life.
Extraordinary! I see someone getting very physically belligerant and then getting physical. Whoever they are, that is no way to settle an issue. I hope they were permanently removed from that position.
ok. if the machanic is also responsible maybe he should do his job and not act like a child. its not profestional to start fights with pilots infront of passengers
wow. Passengers lives and pilot scheldules are at stake and YOU want to call ME a hard ass.....It is not your place to say dumb shit like that....It is the machanics job to maintain the aircraft...by the way it was only one word that was spelled wrong. and that was doesnt matter...I was making a point that one shouldnt fight at work and expect to keep there job.its not like Im writting a book and your the damn editor....wtf
Some Pilots tend to forget that maintenance technicians have them by the balls. With rules as well. Never cross your technician. I have known a few pilots who thought they ruled the world just because they have been awarded a position to fly a plane. True ***holes. And worst of non of that behavior is not needed.
Stupid greese monkey...hope that asshole got fired....pilots dont need to be more stressed out than they already are. they need to safely fly passengers ,,,,,Pilots rule
@hypernova20 and they can't fly the planes without proper maintenance now can they? If you're going to try and act like a hard ass on the internet you might as well learn to spell correctly. Grease*
@hypernova20 That's right because the mechanics need to be under all of the stress that a pilot puts them through. It not only makes flying safer when a mechanic has the added stress of an asshole pilot, but it helps the mechanic sleep at night. Mechanics do not have enough to worry about as it is. So for fun lets add a little extra stress for them. Pilots just need to remember one thing they are responsible for the time they fly, the mechanic is always responsible for the aircraft.
That's actually part of the pre-flight now. The pilot and mechanic go at it in order to check the pilot's alertness and will to survive. If the pilot get's his ass kicked then the flight is cancelled since the pilot is lacking the balls to carry out the flight.
@barluenxo And at the end of the day, that bike riding monkey bangs his hot flight attendant on an overnight in San DIego, while the mechanic monkey whacks off on a banana and flings poo at other mechanic monkeys in St. Louis. Win.
@blondorican Mechanics do not do air prostitutes, they manage to get decent girls anywhere, and for that, they do not have hide behind a suite and a funny cap with wings on it.
@barluenxo You're right, we do hide behind suites...like the Garden Inn Suites, Hilton Suites, Marriott Suites, etc. Don't get all antsy in your pantsy because we get to bang a fresh crop of yoga enthusiast, spinning class taking, tasty, young flight attendants on a regular basis and you're confined to the village bicycle at your local watering hole. Some of those "air prostitutes" you speak of make more $ than their mechanic brethren...and have 20+ days off a month, givem a break!
@blondorican Oh I have no doubts they make some good money. Confined is a little word for a worldwide freelancer mechanic. But I am happy that you get all the applauses in your little tiny circus, don´t forget to bring your bike back to be fixed, there is a huge difference between a bolt and a seat. Knowledge is not power, is pain. Something you will never feel. Ape.
@barluenxo You're right, all pilots are idiots, I totally forgot. Have fun wrenching bud. Worldwide wrenching, that is. I'll take my flight attendants, free travel and large amounts of time off any day.
@blondorican Just another pathetic comment! I do not wrench, I verify and say Go or no go. If I have to wrench something, I know wich way to turn my wrench and where to wrench.. Then, what a hunt, flight attendants are not known as the most hard girls to get, but maybe hard enough for you. Never payed for my flights and as a freelancer, I have no owner and I have all the time I want, when I want, wherever I want. Over and Out.
@blondorican Being a commercial pilot for 15 years, and before that an aviation mechanic for 9 years, I have been in both sides of the fence, and I can tell you, there are idiots in both sides, as well as real profesionals, just like in any other job. So what you like to be, is up to you.
I never did see anything like that before...in all my years in the cockpit, my relationship with the mechs were always topnotch. I always thanked them for their efforts and they knew it. I don't know what could have been said between these two guys, but I can say it isn't standard ops.
@warriorxp111 Being an airframe and powerplant mechanic that has worked for multiple airlines. Trust me it happens when the pilot thinks his God complex must be massaged. I would usually remind him that until I get the trained monkey to fly on my work, (the autopilot and autoland systems) then I have to tolerate his dumbass.
@gonetoworkbbackin5mi Or maybe that pilot was like most pilots, a complete retard who gets in the way and tries to tell you how to do your job when they have no idea how the piece of equipment they fly even works. That's probably what it is, I'm just sayin.
@66gt40lm I am a pilot, I know pilots. They know the aircraft they fly, they have to. Most pilots are not complete retards as you claim, thats just nonsense. I don't know any airline mechanics, maybe this guy was having a bad day. I took a moment to read your "about me" and have discovered you probably don't have any knowledge about a/c. For sure, you're in rebellion to God, which is equal to the sin of witchcraft. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
@gonetoworkbbackin5mi They know how to fly the aircraft, they don't typically know much about the internal components of the aircraft. I work on F-15's, which is an extremely fast paced version of what this guy does. I deal with pilots every day, I know how they try to tell me how to do my job when they know nothing about it, how they get in the way and have no clue what is wrong with a jet. Also, I am not afraid of something that doesn't exist, that's a silly point to bring up.
@gonetoworkbbackin5mi I figured I'd let you know I replied to your insightful comment left on my page, you should check it out. Apparently, your channel doesn't exist, so I couldn't just post on your comment section or send you a private message. You got me convinced, enough said!
@66gt40lm Yeah you're right, cause A TON of pilots pass their extremely thorough check rides riddled with numerous simulated failures and emergency procedures and hours of ground drilling about various complex aircraft systems/knowledge coupled with advanced aerodynamics and are full blown retards. Go fuck yourself. Both pilots AND mechanics are EXTREMELY informed and knowledgeable when it comes to the aircraft they fly and service Aviation weeds out the retards pretty quick.
I AM a Mechanic. People always ask.....Can't you just....?,The answer is NO you can't JUST. It's done when it's done. which bring to mind the saying...the worst you want it you get it....How BAD do you want it
seriously.... i'm a pilot and i always treat mechanics with respect... and i also know captains that yell at mechanics and treat them like if they were less than him, mechanics are the 50% of a safe flight and i can see this pilot wants to die for real.
You will never have that kinda crap on AIR FORCE 1. They know how to take care of a PRESIDENTAL AIRCRAFT. People watch the documentary. Everything is in place. NOT A SPECK OF DUST NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. I watch it was just awesome.
@BOOM7STAR yet 3 years ago air force one was found with several thousand bogus parts on the plane meaning the worlds best kept plane had black market parts which where shit. i havent got anything against AFO but im just saying... documentaries and other news programs have things they wanna hide
It is not a pilot and mechanic fighting its two assholes fighting over some issue they want to get angry over . Why be stupid and make like there is some technical motivation for two morons to fight. Rank, position in life, ego, reasons ,and sore balls are no reason to analyze this stupid video and create a bullshit set of rhetorical crying self absorbed feelings. Flush this video down the toliet where it belongs.

I don't blame the mechanic, every time i'm in pre-flight I take a peek at one of those guys and they just have this look, like all they ever wanted was to fly. I'm not putting the flight crew down either, sometimes I ask THEM about my airplane, they always have the answer.

No one watching this video really knows what words were exchanged, but violence, especially at the work place is NOT tolerated. Think of how embarrassing it must be for the companies or the terrified customers viewing a fight between a pilot and mechanic employed by the company. A person's pay, social class or position within the company gives no right to deck anyone. I would have felt the same way if the pilot would have hit the mechanic. So if you are there 34 years its OK? WRONG.

@diapermanful Well, what do you expect when you get a flying public who wants to pay 50 bucks for a ticket. keep in mind, with inflation taken into account, Airline tickets across the board are 10-20% cheaper than they were even 10 years ago.
MyleneJ 3 months ago
@MyleneJ Not the flying publics fault for paying the lowest available price. If the airlines would drop the bargain basement fares, the public would than have to pay what it actually costs to operate the flight. The airlines are so afraid to lose a fractional percentage of market share that they ruined the industry by even offering fares lower than what it costs to provide a decent service.
diapermanful 3 months ago
@diapermanful Not the publics fault hm? Carriers like United, don't -want- to drop their fares, never have. But with carriers like Southwest, Jet Blue and so on charging bargain basement fares, The major carriers have to compete somehow, and the only way to do that anymore is price matching. and you can thank Regan's Airline Deregulation for that, prior to De-reg, airlines competed with Service, after it became a price war.
MyleneJ 3 months ago
@MyleneJ Rock bottom fares??Do you price shop at all?? Jet Blue, and especially Southwest, are rarely the lowest fare in markets where they compete with the legacies.Bash Southwest and Jet Blue all you want, but they consistantly offer a better domestic product with higher customer satisfaction than all the legacies, including your beloved United, offer. Don't like de-regulation?? Move to Russia or Cuba--a free competitive market is what our system is based on.

@diapermanful SFO->DEN on SWA Highest price is 316.00 Lowest is 197. SFO->DEN on UAL Same travel day. 423.00 SFO->DEN on AA? Cheapest is 724

And i'd Love to know where you're pulling your customer Satisfaction scores from.

@MyleneJ I'd still love to know what you have against de-regulation and the free market system that our economic system was built on. If the Southwest business model does allow it to charge less (which it doesn't always--naturally you pulled an example of them being less to argue your side),than what's wrong with that??In a free market system,it's sink or swim and UA and the other legacies have been doing a good job not being able to change their business model to modern times.
diapermanful 3 months ago
@diapermanful What I have against De-Regulation, is the fact that it ended competition by service, and forced an Unnecessary price war. That alone is reason enough not to like it in my opinion. As for the Fares, i picked a random date (Dec. 17th) went to Southwest first, and went from there. I have no need to try and manipulate facts for my own good when they already speak for themselves. Nice try though.

@MyleneJ Unnnecessary price war?? It's called competition in a free market system.Like I said earlier...If you can't stand the heat,move to Cuba.You would feel at home in a Communist setting with no free enterprise economic system.If service is that important to you,nothing is stopping you from flying a legacy carrier and paying $2,000 to sit up front away from the riff-raff and have your precious behind pampered like it was still 1970.

@diapermanful Well, I've done my best to stay civil, but all you've done is proven you're full of ignorance.

@diapermanful You can compete more ways than just Dollar Vs Dollar, the fact that you can't see or understand that proves my "ignorance" statement as does your "no competition statement" but I'll humor you with a list: PanAm, Eastern, TWA, United, American, Delta, and more all Competed against each other for almost a century using SERVICE STANDARDS over DOLLARS to do so. De-Reg killed Airlines TRUE ability to do this and that's why almost any long term airline employee will Agree.
MyleneJ 2 months ago
@MyleneJ Actually, the airlines you mentioned all were regulated by the now defunct CAA prior to de regulation.This includes fares, which weren't controled by market forces but were determined and set by the government.Service standards placed no role in the picture--it was entirely the government setting fares and granting route authorities (the airlines couldn't fly wherever they wanted domestically like now).
diapermanful 2 months ago
@MyleneJ (Continued)When de regulation happened and airlines had to competed based on free market forces and didn't have the gov't imposing socialist principles to running private enterprise,airlines were put in a sink or swim situation where those that were able to adapt survived the best *cough cough* Southwest, JetBlue *cough cough*

And further more, What the fuck does any of this have to do with Communism at All? If you want a History Lesson, Do some reading on your own.
MyleneJ 2 months ago
@diapermanful Okay, You want a History lesson. Here from a Report on the subject:
What does the industry's history tell us, Was this effort worthwhile? Certainly it shows that every major reform brings about new unforeseen problems. No one foresaw the industry's spectacular growth, with the number of air passengers increasing from 207.5 million in 1974 to 721.1 million last year.
MyleneJ 2 months ago
@diapermanful (continued) As a result, no one foresaw the extent to which new bottlenecks would develop: a flight-choked Northeast corridor, overcrowded airports, delays, and terrorist risks consequently making air travel increasingly difficult. Nor did anyone foresee the extent to which change might unfairly harm workers in the industry. Still, fares have come down.
MyleneJ 2 months ago
@diapermanful Airline revenue per passenger mile has declined from an inflation-adjusted 33.3 cents in 1974, to 13 cents in the first half of 2010. In 1974 the cheapest round-trip New York-Los Angeles flight (in inflation-adjusted dollars) that regulators would allow: $1,442. Today one can fly that same route for $268. That is why the number of travelers has gone up. So we sit in crowded planes, munch potato chips, flare up when the loudspeaker announces yet another flight delay.

Some Pilots tend to forget that maintenance technicians have them by the balls. With rules as well. Never cross your technician.

ItsCoreyLynxxYall 4 months ago
@hypernova20 That's right because the mechanics need to be under all of the stress that a pilot puts them through. It not only makes flying safer when a mechanic has the added stress of an asshole pilot, but it helps the mechanic sleep at night. Mechanics do not have enough to worry about as it is. So for fun lets add a little extra stress for them. Pilots just need to remember one thing they are responsible for the time they fly, the mechanic is always responsible for the aircraft.
greenberet496 4 months ago
That's actually part of the pre-flight now. The pilot and mechanic go at it in order to check the pilot's alertness and will to survive. If the pilot get's his ass kicked then the flight is cancelled since the pilot is lacking the balls to carry out the flight.
