Need a "gotchya back" prank that's safe

[Doug Taylor]

This is kind of a cheesy video with no context, but the intended target is the first guy that I point and say "Hoodrat!" at that flashes the gang sign. We're at the Reichstag in Berlin Germany in the observatorium. The skippers the other guy.

As long as the times on the flight plan are done and we've got the Oceanic, he's just ballast!

Get an embarrassing (but not offensive) sticker and put it on his flight case and see how long till he notices. My first thought was NAMBLA, but that probably wouldn't go over too well with the company.

Some night when he doesn't have to fly the next day could always set a wakeup call for some ungodly hour. Or call him ever half an hour pretending to be his wakeup call.

Oh...just thought of a good one. http://www.jetuniversity.com/contact.html on the right side

On the ER side, we have "active" wakeup times. So depending on when the plane gets in from the US, dictates what time the pickup is. It's a standard 60 minutes prior to pickup, whenever pickup is!

I'm not sure if the NAMBLA stick would be shocking enough. After all it IS JFK!

Nice. Does soutnernjets take care of that or the hotel?

[Doug Taylor]

Hotel and the local station manager.

International is very gentlemanly.

WOW.. you need to update your blog

The scenario:
Buddy's sitting in the cabin- in uniform's best, but anything will do. Take note of his seat assignment. After reaching altitude, and the signs are off, take a moment and make a little P.A.

"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome aboard, we've now reached our cruising altitude blah blah speed, arrival time, Wx, whatever. Additionally, I'd like to let everyone know that we have a very special passenger on board this evening. Capt. Buddy, one of Delta's exceptional employees is with us tonight, he's sitting in seat 5A. You should know that Capt. Buddy is 100% dedicated to our airline in all aspects, so much so that on his days off, he'll frequently ride along with us, just to see how things are going and to speak with folks in the cabin- and today is one of those days! So, if you'll notice, we've turned off the seatbelt signs, and if you'll like to take this opportunity to speak with Capt. Buddy- if you have any questions or concerns, feedback, or experiences you'd like to relate, please feel free to visit with him now. Again, that's seat 5A, and thank you for flying with Delta Airlines!"





-A-

That would be my choice out of all of the offerings.

So far the best prank I've ever heard of or thought of was involving methylene blue. Apparently this stuff is used medically to dye people's urine blue (no idea why). Its an odorless powder so it would be easy to slip it into somebody's drink. I was going to do this to a roommate that bugged the crap out of me, but then I read that some people could be allergic to it. With my luck, he would have been so I opted out. But damn that would have been hilarious. "dude, you're not going to believe this but I think something is wrong with me!"

[Aero_Engineer]

Get a flight bag sticker that says something like "Proud supporter of Gulfstream academy" or "Skybus here I come" with red hearts surrounding the writing and stick it on his flight back. He should get some odd looks in the terminal or the pilot's lounge.

Find out his home address and send some porn there while he's away. Gay porn. Especially if he's married. Via UPS so his wife has to sign for it.

I had to get up to use the restroom right before we got our final paperwork. I had a buddy get on who was on a DH to wherever we were going. When I got back my seat was all messed up and he'd changed things on my PFD. Not a biggie, but it took me a minute or two to get everything back in order.

As soon as I had my nest straightened up I found out what seat he was in and I made a PA something like this: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special passenger with us today seated in 9F. His name is (insert first name here) and it's his birthday today. He just told me no one wanted to sing to him all day, so let's send some birthday cheer to him right now. A one, a two, a three. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you....."

We had everyone singing and obviously it wasn't his birthday.

Man, there have been some "interesting" pranks suggested. Some evil, some ingenious! This is why I don't play pranks on people...don't want to be on the receiving end of one.
Although I have gotten the call from "crew scheduling" played on me twice so far!!! Being a newbie, I was stammering until I realized it was a joke...

[BobDDuck]

Make a political donation in his name... and post the thank you letter in the crew room?

[Tiger815]

Vasiline meet headset.....if that's too ruthless, how about Vasiline meet flight bag handle?

Or how about this recipe for disaster. Find victims hotel room. Get baby powder + toilet paper tube + blowdryer. Flatten end of TP tube, dump in a healthy measure of baby powder. Insert flat end of TP tube under hotel room door. Insert blowdrier in open end of TP tube, and activate until contents are well dispersed. Enjoy flight home with dusty looking, but nice smelling co-worker.

..sit hot reserve in IAD.

But, but I'm on IOE.

Yeah, I know, but..


I then realize it may be a prank, and look at the caller ID. Since it's NOT a 703 area code, I realize it's Matt being ever-so-funny.
Perhaps I should start my own thread on how to get Matt back...Hmmm, some good ideas on here already, Captain..

I fell for it another time by a FO...
Pretty safe to say, it's not going to happen a 3rd time. With my luck, CS will call, and I'll say something like, "Yeah, right..Whatever..." to them and then be in some serious trouble.

[jtrain609]

Me: "Hello?"
"Scheduler:" "Yes sir, is this First Officer Herreshoff?"
Me: "Yup
"Scheduler:" "Well sir, we're going to have to junior man you to an ARC in Newark today."
Me: "Go #### yourself, Mark."
"Scheduler:" "Sir I'm going to have to give you a missed trip."
Me: "Mark, our schedulers are in Houston with 832 numbers, not in Jersey. You drunk?"

I just got Wildcougar a third time. She sorta knew something was up when the EWR station manager wanted to send her to IAH but couldn't put her finger on it!

[Qgar]

OOOOOH, you guys are soooo gonna get it.. I'm going to be up for a few nights trying to think of ways to get you all back... If anyone has any pity on me and wants to help, PM me.
