29.92 Captain
I’m flying along with a rather gruff old Captain and a First Officer who fancies himself as the perfect aviator. Shortly after reaching cruise, the F/O notices that the Captain’s altimeter is set at 29.91. The F/O says: "29.92 Captain." The Captain ignores him. The F/O gets a little more insistent. Once again he is ignored. Totally frustrated, the F/O says: “Captain please set 29.92 on your altimeter." Words were not spoken as the Captain gets in a big huff. He moves up his seat, resets the recline, and gets into a flying position. Then he resets his altimeter to 29.92, clicks off the autopilot, makes a big show of re-trimming the stab and flies up the 10 feet. After hooking up the autopilot again and sliding his seat back he says: “Now, are you satisfied?”
