Hey...I resemble that remark!

We all make mistakes and forget stuff guys...remember that. Doesn't mean us pilots are a bunch of dumba$$. There are a lot of other things involved with a sortie that help distract us from the task at hand sometimes...all we need is a competent voice on the other end to keep us in line every so often! There are a few a-hole pilots and crew chiefs out there though...just like anywhere. We do appreciate all the work you guys do...

Never said all of ya were...
Believe me I know a lot of Pilots who were sharp as a tack when it came to my systems too.
I had one who went through almost all my tricks before he called a redball for FLCS

So. I can say that Crew Chiefs and anyone else who forgets to hit that one step PROBE HEAT OFF!!! ticked me off even more than the RedBall step 4 guys...

We just had a Sheetmetal troop get third degree burns on his hand doing inlet coating maint, due to that probe heat off switch, culprut was specs.
