PCL off the Runway in TVC--no injuries

[Rook]

I have had enough personal experiences with Spin-icle to fear when I have to ride on them.



If you want to change my mind give me something tangible instead of just saying I'm wrong. Just my personal experiences alone riding on pee-knuckle are enough to make the average guy drop a duce in his fruit of the looms.



I am not slinging mud. I am scared to fly on you, but sometimes need to due to lack of choice. I want you to fix your problems so I don't get seriously injured or killed on your crappy little airline.

I think that is legitimate.

Regarding the italics... (Spin-icle/pee-knuckle)Ok ok we get it. You're a former XJ 9E hater.

Just make sure you voice your concerns to the flight crew as you're getting your XCM form filled out. I mean that's obviously great CRM right?:laugh:

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

XCM? You mean Ex-XCM.

Actually, now that you bring it up, I am almost as concerned about XJ than I am about 9E. Xj has lost most of its experienced people and still counting. There are a few still there and I wish them luck, they will have their hands full in the next few years.

I don't hate anyone or have a grudge. I just want to get on board and feel comfortable that I won't get hurt on my way to Bob's airport in the middle of nowhere. Maybe you don't realize how many people are trying to get you on their various airlines no fly lists. I'm just not affrain to say it.

Clean house, please!

Well it's not my fight anymore. I left for greener pastures. As far as not hating anyone or having grudges...it really doesn't sound that way. And I don't think the guys across the street in MEM ever complain when they need rides. I'm sure that for every one clown at 9E, you could find someone with the same characteristics at XJ(r.e. Brand X) I used to live with an XJ pilot and we would swap 'war' stories when we were both at the apartment. I won't knock on XJ though. The safety numbers speak for themselves. 9E may be in a sad state, but I enjoyed my time there. Learned a lot from guys like Lear 70 and the other good CA's I flew with, and tried to impart my knowledge when I was LCA'ing there.

Rook...out:beer:

[Filkster]

This thread is getting more anoyoing that the chucknorris thread. With that being said, I believe that chuck Norris could land on a 3000' strip with any plane in the us airline system. breaking action nil or not

 

[Oakum_Boy]

The runway would explode in awe.

Even though we are not in DA HOUSE,

If you clowns don't want to commute with PCL, Don't.

DP...OUT

haha, I cant believe i started up chuck norris jokes again. Chunck Norris is going to hunt us down like dogs for this online backsass.

The financial hit was a kick in the 'nads but I should break even by end of year 2. Small class (6) and at first we all hated the fact that we were going to Finland for sims but it's actually great out here. Did I mention the women? Well think of your typical Scandinavian stereotype. It's pretty much true. And to use an analogy that our sim instructor likes to say, "You can't swing a dead cat without knocking down at least one."imp:

God bless you kind sir, throw some table scraps over to the US and A

 

[Lear70]

Hey Rook, didn't you want me to come visit while you're over there?

 

[Speedbird34]

Captain DAD is a retard!!

 

[Rook]

And to top it off they're all nice. No attitude. We're planning a bash next weekend when all the type rides are done.

And L70,

I'd be more than happy show you 'round town, but you'd prob'ly steal all the hot ones.imp:

 

[Oakum_Boy]

I just wish that people could learn to actually land the CRJ. I am sick of flying with captains that have years of experience in the airplane that float float float and float down the runway, then give it the old three point slam. This is true when I commute on other carriers as well.

I see it a lot too. If you aren't over the screen at Vref, it will float. Most guys come over the threshold exceeding that speed usually by 5 knots and every knot adds like a couple hundred feet to your landing distance.

Naahhh, I have a bag limit of 2.

And don't sell yourself short. Last I remember the GF you had was pretty hot.

[Lear70]

Rez, you had it right the first time, no need to delete it. *sigh*

If you look at it THAT way, it will take me until my 10th year as CA (age 50 approx) here to make back the total pay cuts post 2001.

 

[bluefishbeagle]

Actual landing distance on a RWY contaminated w/ snow plus the 115% additionional FAR requirement (Wet/Low vis) at 46000 lbs is 6480. If there is slush, ice, higher lnding weight, or just a knot above ref the distance goes up. Landing on a 6500 foot runway with these conditions and a little fatigue doesnt seem too smart.

But don't forget this Capt is a "good guy", helped with "alpa" very "good stick" a real "company man". All of which will help but one oh ******************** wipes out 1000 atta boys.

No it doesn't seem to smart. If you "have to land" why file an alternate? When faced with those weather conditions just go to your alternate, screw the company.
