i had a pilot walking towards me today in the hall. he probably expected me to turn out of his way, but i was in the right side of the corridor. so i'm covered in grease from doing a flap and gear lube last night and i stood my ground. he bumped into me and fell on his ass with a huge green grease and black stain on his uniform. he walked into the mechanics office area and everyone started to laugh. this pissed mr. pilot off even more. the pilot tries to tell my foreman what went down, besides himself.

pilot: your disgruntled mechanic pushed me down. and you guys owe me a new uniform.

me: i was walking in the "right" side of the corridor as everyone else in the U.S. does walk on the right.

pilot: well when a pilot is coming down the hallway your supposed to move out of our way.

me: i didn't get that memo.

pilot: look at my uniform shirt, it's ruined

me: and mines not. i actually work for a living. i don't sit up in a cockpit punching in coordinates and letting the autopilot system that i maintain fly the airplane for me and on top of it all i don't have an autoland function to do my job.

pilot: *speechless for a moment* well i'm going to take this up with my union and i'll have you taken care of.

foreman: hey now watch what your saying you amongst 40 wolves that will tear you apart. your union is giving us paycuts and getting our guys laided off, so you can get paid. you're preaching to the choir here.

me: so if i took you out back and dealt with things that way, what's the worst that'll happen i get laid off. it's going to happen anyways.
other mechanics: "take him out back, we didn't see anything"

pilot : *has that look in his eyes like he's gonna shit his pants*

the pilot ran out of the office and i haven't heard anything or received an email.
