Go Around, BE PROFESSIONAL

[CopilotDoug]

Last night while my FO was landing, and ATC put a Delta 757/767 close behind us(slotation). I saw my FO start to rush, and get nervous. I told him it's our runway till we turn off and do things how you normally would. I informed ATC that our approach speed would be 117KIAS.

On the roll out tower told DAL to go around. The response from one of the DAL pilots was an extremely unprofessional grunt followed by mumbling get off our runway. I know it sucks, and I'm sorry to that crew for the inconvenience, but my crew doesn't rush.

It really speaks volumes when my early 20s FO says "that's unprofessional" about a 30 - 60 something Legacy pilot.

Let's try to be more respectful to each other, please.

It's not your fault if the DAL crew is already 3 hours late and trying to make up time

You guys did the right thing, you didn't get outside your limits and did not compromise safety. Nothing to apologize or feel sorry about.

It's company policy to be Vapp from the OM inbound. What would you do? We have just as much of a right to be there as you. It sucks, but it's life!

Boo hoo. Keep your speed up, nerd.

For the record, we flew 280 till 10000, then 250 till underlying class B then 200 to the OM. It was max legal speed all the way.

If you were going into ATL, why would you have been underlying Class B? Did they send you that far out on downwind below 2500 feet?

I say so what! You landed, they went around. Your feelings were that hurt that a Delta Pilot complained you had to run to your computer and post this on FI. This speaks volumes of what kinda person you are.

People go around all the time. No big deal, and he probably got a few extra dollars in his pocket to Fill you his Yukon.

It might be fun to do go arounds in the sim, but today a go around is EXPENSIVE. If you have to go around, do it, otherwise, being prepared for an approach and being on speed is probably a better idea.

Bye Bye--General Lee

IMC for most of the app 500ft. If it was a visual it would be a different story.

Ok then.

So long as you flew 20 to the marker (as assigned) and then configured and slowed to Vref +10 by 1000 above minimums for the ILS, you did all you could.

I don't envy the guys behind us though at these big airports.

The runway comes alot faster...

You did good son, you did real good. Now tell your momma to get her fat butt up here and get me a dam beer.

Bitburg Beer????? Man it is hotter then a Freshly *ucked Fox in a Forest Fire in the Carolinas!!!!

I can tell you that it really isn't much fun on a boat until about 7:30pm. Its damn hot!!!

Hollywood, it is good that you came to this board so we can communicate with you. YOU are the reason the ATA and FAA are trying to restrict "GA" type operations from the World's busiest airports.

You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution. If you need extra room, request it early, or better yet, plan your arrival some time before or after normal hours.

The Cargo guys in Caravans, MU2's and even Cessna 210's have no problems in Atlanta. Remember, 9,000 feet, dry, only 1,000 feet above sea level, exit to the North and plan minimum time on the runway.

The controllers expect you to fly like everyone else does. Guess you don't mix it up with Southwest very often....

Agreed! Well, except for Plyt's talk of beer and boats.

Doesn't matter, this sh*t is so good, you can drink it warm! :beer:

... Ever heard of an S-turn, DAL?

Is that how you fly an ILS PRM approach? Interesting.

Hmmm.

It's your runway for as long as you so choose--and that's professional. They go around and tell you to get off their runway--and that's unprofessional??

K.

We share it. Plan the taxiway you're going to use and get off the runway! Or land somewhere else!

I bet your company policy follows the FAA regs and says no unnecessary conversation below 10,000 feet, bet you always follow that too huh? It's funny how some people stand on "policy" but only stand on em when it's convenient....
