Thats the difference between a pilot and an airplane driver. Outstanding!

Whats going on with these FX caravans? We have had two engine failures at west air in the last month or two. Both pilots did a great job landing them safely.

Are you kidding?

Someone took a perfectly good airplane and landed in a field?

I find that pretty hard to believe.

newbies right out of flight school, hmm, wonder when I should pull the inertial separator, hmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmm wonder what it does?

just like the 1500 peanuckle captains that can't land, hmmmm lets pay the lowest amount of money we can pay to get a pilot with a pulse in the PIC seat

35 K to fly pic in a van for a fedex feeder is ridiculous, fedex is a multimillion dollar company
get a union people, or act your wage

Look it's a single engine plane being used for a tight SCHEDULED operation. The pilots go on time. It's the cost of doing business. Cessna and PW make a darn good airplane but that job is no joy ride. I'm glad the pilot went home to his/her family.

I agree 100%! He/she did a great job.
