I wish I had a $1 for every version of the BA in FRA story :) On a HEF-BUF flight in a rented PA28 I heard a Lear that was trying to get down but complained that NYC center didn't assigned them a lower altitude prior the hand off to Cleveland Center. Cleveland Center : Lear 123, give me your fax number and I will send a petition for you to sign to transfer that sector to Cleveland Center :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On a recent ORD-SEA flight the female F/O made a mistake and instead of calling dispatch she keyed the ATC freq. Some other came online and said .."Hey baby, why don't you talk dirty too".. Another pilot replies : "That must be a US Airways pilot" :) I will share more if I can remember :) BAHA Fan of Ch.9
