bingo!!!!

 

[snuba]

Figure that. Is he still doing seat support?

 

[Ty Webb]

Are we talking about a certain troll that scuttles through Concourse C with a pained look on his face . . . a look that gives the distinct impression that he is trying desperately to keep from soiling himself?

Just ignore that annoying alarm going off - it must be broken...

Guys have been fired for lesser things!

Like going above and beyond by helping passengers and maintaining a safe operation.

Damn good point. What ever happened to Capt. MEM? Capt. CAK? Are they still here too?

MEM is, dunno what happened in CAK though.

 

[j41driver]

MEM is, dunno what happened in CAK though.

I guess it could be considered what almost happened in CAK. Not sure of the specifics but a 737 about 5 out at less than 500 AGL. Within the last year I'm pretty sure. If true, those guys shouldn't be here.

Is MEM still in the left seat?

 

[DorkProp]

Um, what are we talking about?

He is back in the left seat after 6 months in the right.

Good guy, could have happened to any of us.

Now the flap thing, that was just careless and reckless. Unbelieveable! Well maybe not!

 

[PCL_128]

Um, what are we talking about?

737 crew took off without flaps earlier this year.

 

[Phaedrus]

Gotta love the green box.

 

[Phaedrus]

...and CAWS.

I'm not saying he should have been fired or the other ones. I hope none of us would have a major brain disengagement like that. Just making an observation.

Hum? What did they think the config warning was all about?

 

[twepilot]

careful when you cast stones bro's..

[~~~^~~~]

Doesn't it take two pilots? Where's the other pilot while this alleged stuff is happening?

Thanks to SWA, the 737NG doesn't have a fancy voice warning like every other airplane built in the last few decades. They wanted it to be just like the classic 737s, so all you get is a beeping noise that is apparently relatively easy to overlook. That's what I've been told by our 737 drivers, anyway.

Don't know about the "thanks to SWA", maybe, maybe not. However, the beeping noise is loud and annoying. IMHO, not too hard to overlook. I for one, would want to take a second to figure out the reason for the warning. Especially, since it will sound for a true config. warning before the engines are spooled up to takeoff thrust.
