A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

Yelling "SHOTGUN" and running into the cockpit isn't the best idea Cheesy.
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Rules of shotgun:

Driver can still deny the shotgun, or fire the shotgun passenger if they don't perform their duties  Grin
If the driver says 'reload', the first person to shout 'shotgun' wins.  Tongue

Maybe the Captain doesn't know the full technicalities  Cool

Interesting where the term "riding shotgun" came from.  It comes from the wonderful period in American history when stagecoach and mail drivers needed to guard the passengers and valuables from stage-robbers and aggressive indians.  The guy next to the driver carried a firearm, frequently a shotgun.
