Those guys need to slow down, their dangerous.

They're dangerous. You were probably typing too fast.

Yep, after Chinese ATC refused a requested WX deviation

That should never be an excuse for why you flew through a thunderstorm. You tell the controller you are using your captains emergency authority and do what you need to do. 20 years ago in my training I was told that controllers are here to serve the pilots. While that might be a stretch, I definitely feel like now they have a "do what we say or we'll violate you" mentality that pilots are so afraid of, and that's not right, and doesn't foster a safe environment.

Have you ever flown internationally?

We're talking about China here, not Atlanta center.

"We're declaring an emergency and deviating 30NM Right "R" of course"

They should understand that.

was it that BNA light pole dude?

LMAO. I'm not a Delta pilot but know this guy in real life. The only bigger ass than himself is his big mouth wife. And what you guys hear in the cockpit is true, they have maxed out their credit cards for years buying gold jewelry.

You should see this jerk off in the local pub after he's had a few.

Does he wear that ALPA black shirt in the pub? He's (and her) getting ripped pretty good over on APC. Must be a joy to fly with.

Is he that JoeyMeatballs guy?

 

[Freebrd]

Dunno, not sure he's active on APC. All the comments are coming from what he posts on his facebook. Seems he and wifey are quite the tools. Hey maybe he's actually Gen Lee! It would fit.

 

[Jetdriver69]

I like Part 91 corporate better. No one gives a sh*t if we carry extra gas or fly around weather. In fact, it is encouraged.

The pax can only remember the last 15 seconds of the flight anyway.

Who is "he?" What screen name are we talking about ?

 

[no1pilot2000]

Nothing your local body shop can't hammer out. Cracked windshield? This is a job for Safelite Auto Glass repair. Free estimates. In a day or two, the airplane will be good as new!

comprehension a problem for you I see :erm:

 

[Diesel-9]

First Class passengers with their IPad weather info should have passed a note up to the cockpit under the door, "Check 30 left and extend! We'll call the turn back"
