Lindburgh: Now I have heard it all

[nwaredtail]

If you cannot see a "representative surface" you kind of have no choice but to open the main cabin door vs. looking out an overwing exit. Not a fan of GOJET, but I am not going to criticize this crew.

Pretty sure the FAA and Chief pilots would not be a fan of

1. Getting out of the cockpit on a taxiway
2. Opening an emergency exit, disarming a slide, leaving the door open, etc
3. having a person on an active taxiway

I think I saw a GoJet guy today on a active taxiway scrapping ice off the wings leading edge with his GoJet ID.

He said that was in their Ops Specs and fully legal to do.

I have heard of having to have an inspection done from the outside if you miss a holdover time and it is still precipitating. Whenever it happened to me (once in my career), I just went back to the de-ice pad. Getting out of an aircraft on an active taxi-way is dangerous and stupid.

I'll bet that he turned his ID over so you could not see that he was from Hojets.

A slightly different situation at my fractional being we dont have a cockpit door, but it is our procedure that yes, if we go over the holdover time we have to get out and do a tactile check under certain conditions. If that happens when we are 1st or 2nd in the money line at JFK, then thats where it happens.

At least he or she had enough sense to take a look.

Oh come on, you're talking about GoJet here, what the ******************** did you expect?

Did he have an Indian accent with a hint of slightly feminine British?

You didn't know he bought SonicEarz?

I thought all pilots had that!
