Reading that gave me a splitting headache.

It was an XJet guy, I can't find him on the ASA seniority list.

ASA's parent company is Continental Express? Gotta love quality reporting.

 

[Erlanger]

Where's the union on this? Are they helping him?

 

[SLUF4]

it'll be interesting to see how it turns out

and another pilot takes an early retirement with a 1,000,000 law suit. Expressjet/ASA cant fight this without settling. DONE. Dosent matter what he did the company broke the law plaine and simple.....

 

[Knob]

He was a check airman at XJT..pretty sure hes gonna win this one

 

[JumpersAway]

Never had a problem with it. I've cancelled a flight due to weather and never heard anything about it.

if they would just make a regulation that reads the pilot has the final decision on the safety of the flight, or something to that effect.

safety is their number one concern, as long as it dont cost anything.
