When I asked an airline caption how many type ratings he held, he
told me, "Actually, I have 6 and a half,

figure that one out."

If you know his name you can look it up at registry.faa.gov. Perhaps
he had a 757 type rating when the 767 came out? Perhaps he has a type
rating limited to VFR or SIC?
I've also found that many captains really dislike answering questions
from GA pilots and have built it BS answers (epecially if this was
United, most of their pilots are jerks). I asked a pilot in Denver (on
a 100F day) if the density altitude was intersting that day. He said
"I don't worry about that stuff I have go to either way; just as long
as the wheels don't hit anything". Clealry he was just patting me on
the head and telling me to go away.

I had a similar experience years ago with a couple of Thunderbird
pilots. Although according to the speaker of the private event I was
attending, they were stationed next to their planes for display and
questions. If you ask them anything except personal questions about
themselves, you just got a ****tly little smirk and the old "that's
classified" nonsense. After about the second or third question I had
enough.


What, not enough abuse for you?

Why, the only thing classified about you and your little pocket pal Mikey
Mouth, are your medical records.

No, he was looking for an argument, abuse is down the hall (I know
only about 10% here will get that joke).
