Oh the media.... would they rather have run way incursions and unstable approaches. Sometimes people dont think.

God I hate stupid people.

That guy was begging to be punched in the face. What a D-bag.

Scare the hell out of them. I couldn't possibly care any less.

I would love to slap some sense into that whiney baby of a man! "We climbed drastically!" "I feared for my life" yet Im still alive because of the go-around. WHere are your balls sir?

Very well said. I second it!

He is the kind of person that would sue Mickey Deez for making him fat, despite the fact that he eats 2 big macs a day...

Mr. Shaffrey, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

They could have us just continue and land next to the runway...

A go-around certainly isn't newsworthy and I don't think you could find a bigger tool if you tried! Unfortunately, this is just another symptom of the rapid Pu$$ification of America!

 

[DiverDriver]

Well he better not sit there for that gawd durn takeoff! What with it's fast acceleration and rapid climb! Someone could get killed from these takeoffs!

What a goofball. I'd love to take that guy up and spin the breakfast poo out of him!

After cleared for the visual approach how many of you set ILS published missed approach altitude in the pre-selector......and brief the published missed.....

 

[Erlanger]

The flying public and the media is getting stupider and stupider everyday.

Just the American flying public. Mostly southern.

Rez, just out of curiosity, are you advocating briefing the ILS missed? If you are while referring to a visual approach, why?

My point is too many pilots on this thread anre getting their mangina all itchy over what the press thinks...

What the press is doing is typical... they are trying to sell a story...

Who cares what the press says in these situations... fly the jet professionally... each day every day...

Fact is too many pilots brief the visual backed up by the ILS and the published MAP.

Instead of worrying about the press... fly the jet better...

Why? If I go around in ATL on the visual to 28, I'm not going to fly the 180 radial to Scarr intersection to hold....Why should I take away from paying attention to what is going on to brief something I'm not going to do?

Update: I just read your response above....maybe we are saying the same thing.....That might be a first....

Now I have proof you are an a-hole. BTW, your AP writer of this column is from....The great liberal north!

Riiiiight, because the guy with the complaint about the go-around was from the South? South side of somewhere ugly around Newark, I'll give you. But from somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line? (google it, you might learn something...) I think not.

What is it with you and the South? If you are really this miserable here, why don't you go back to wherever you came from? You'd be happier, we wouldn't have to listen to your barbs against the South, all would be well...
