Aspen??

Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen.



Mmmmmmm. California. Beautiful.

You questioned the actual act of landing with the tailwind and as was explained.....sometimes it makes more sense to continue.....Recipe flying has become the norm....Not enough common sense....

The Vspeeds have changed 3 times since I have been flying the ATR....Profiles and callouts have changed more times than I can remember.....

Fly the D@mn airplane....use common sense....Procedures don't cover every situation....

Exactly. Kind of like how they don't "trust us" to fly the takeoff profile at 10 degrees in the 200 without the FD for what? 3 seconds?

If you can't smoothly rotate to 10 degrees without the FD you should not be flying 121.

Oh yeah, and great response USC328. Totally agree.
 
Either come to work, or go to bed.
Hey now...

I was doing my morning routine of eating breakfast whilst feeding my strange and unexplainable attraction to Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC and catching up on email, Fark, & FI when I posted that...nothing goes together like homemade protein shakes and FI drivel.

Don't lie about your "morning routine"
 
Hi, Lloyd!
Hi, Harry!
How was your day?
Not bad. Fell off a jetway again.

Heres some random trivia for you.- the jetway where Lloyd fell off is at the SLC airport, Terminal #1. I forget which gate, but after going up the escalator after security you make a left than the first right and its the first gate on the left (down the little slope).
You can see in the movie that he falls behind Hudson General baggage carts.
Where Lloyd runs up the stairs with the briefcase actually heads to the short term parking garage.
I know, useless, but next time you're there with someone, you can take the credit for saying "hey, remember that movie..."
 
I recognized SLC as well. I thought it was the B concourse, first gate.

Maybe next time we all go there we can take a header off the same jetbridge as Lloyd.

Let's ask Long Time Gone, he knows EVERYTHING!
