Put Down The Laptops and Fly the Plane NWA

[405]

Make the accused hand fly the damn plane for 30 days and let's move on. This is getting stupid.

What's getting stupid isn't the media coverage. Who can blame them? These two morons keep changing their story to make this whole situation look more and more egregious each time. First everyone thought they were asleep. Then they said "no, we were in a heated discussion" about company policy. Now they say they were on their laptops. They are progressively making this profession look more and more like a joke with each statement. Tomorrow they're going to say they were mutually masturbating.

The media has multiple goals. Sensationalism and accountability are among them. They found a sensational story, and they want accountability. No thanks to these two d**chebags. It only took a few months for multiple boneheaded incidents to make what Sully did for pilot PR to completely be overshadowed and vanish.

They just reversed all the good publicity from Sulley's Hudson ditching.=(

They would have been better off saying they fell asleep then admitting they were playing on the computer.

You posted this as I was typing the same damn thing while editing my post. More obvious than I thought. That sucks for us.

They should have left it at "we had no crew meal on this transcon, we were tired from the previous day, and ended up dozing off for about 20 minutes.."

These were "mainline" pilots...Let's forgive them...at least they weren't dangerous "regional" pilots..

Here we go again with mr. inferiority complex

No it was just finishing off Mexico Didnt you hear that Bush controls Hurricanes?

You guys actually believe this?

Agree it is hard to believe that even with both using laptops they would miss radio calls for over an hour or not notice where they were at. End of the day probably only two people are ever going to know the real story of what was going on.
