Damn Don, you gotta take down that Avatar. It's promoting high rates of inflation in the Smokies if you catch my drift! :)
Well the TA went down as Mister "Meat and Potatoes" predicted. There were so many parallels between this TA and politics, I couldn't believe it. Offer up stuff for the...
I'll be shocked if this TA passes. Unless I'm meeting alot of Bill Clinton (i.e. disingenuous) types who say one thing while planning to do another, I've yet to meet a yes vote. DTW is very militant and the guys I know in MEM are pretty fired up.
As I've been saying for years, this...
My briefing to an FO is as follows: We always taxi with 2 engines unless shutting one down will help US out, we always take off flaps 20 and we always leave the APU on until 10,000 feet and start it coming thru 10,000 feet. That way we run as safe and inefficient an operation as possible. :D...
And in the meantime do as much to inflict pain on the company's bottom line as is possible!
Heat em up
Burn baby Burn
Do them no favors, show them no mercy.
Last I checked, APU's, brakes and jet fuel are mighty expensive these days! :D
I sense frustration out there, time to take a deep breath and be of good cheer. As I said on the airlink pilots message board a week ago:
"The crescendo of public clamor for domestic drilling from coast to coast is growing daily. Even Californians, well known for their environmental...
I don't know what this Joe Merchant character is talking about at 9E. Our SOP at DTW is succinctly expressed by 3 slogans:
1) Burn baby burn
2) heat 'em up
3) Do them no favors, show them no mercy.
oops, almost forgot number 4
A delay per day, makes Phil go gray!
Look, either way it goes, the Democrats win this November. Either we get a socialist-appeaser who believes in a living, breathing Constitution or we get a left leaning pseudo-socialist who believes in national defense. To celebrate the impending victory, I leave you with some of my favorite...
Rich,
You should know by now that arguing with these folks over the relationship between flight time and experience is similar to having any kind of debate with Al Sharpton...... IT IS AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME!
Bottom line: It will take a couple of crashes to wake people up. 3701 was a...
I had a situation occur recently that was similar, though not to this magnitude. We couldnt' get back in to DTW due to an RVR of 1000, after holding for 1:15 we diverted to CLE. Gate space was limited and NWA aircraft were already on the gates so I was told to wait.
After about an hour, I...
To expand on what Jeckel said above. Obtaining a college degree (in most cases) shows the applicant to be a thinker who had the discipline and ability to get through a rigorous 4 year course of study. The college attended and the type of major does matter but whether it was Physical Science at...
I love how losers, who lack the tenacity and patience to make it in this BS industry, turn to a handy scapegoat in their time of need. Blaming Bush for the sorry state of this industry is just as mindless as blaming him for Hurricane Katrina.
I remember arriving at the Morse State airport in January 1998......UGGH! What in tarnation happened to the "Taco Bell King Airs"? They get rid of them and pick up some "Boxcars" instead?
I know they had a string of Bandit crashes, maybe they determined that the Shorts was a better fit.

I sincerely hope I'm not one of them! ha ha
On an unrelated note, all this positive energy about ole Pinch A Nickel is starting to worry me. May I take the contrarian position? Yes, things...
We'll see guys. There are some unusual dynamics at 9E that just might buck the typical airline trends. For instance, a pilot group with an average longevity that is quite low. Most of these folks are single without kids and have an extremely low monthly budget.
Add to that an extremely...
I'd believe an article in Weekly World News or The National Enquirer before I believe something in the NY Times. After the Jayson Blair debacle they've lost all credibility.
YOU ARE SOOOOOOOO RIGHT! I was on a 4.5 hour sit the other day in Memphis when I heard that the contract is about to be settled. I looked at the guy and said: "If it includes BS like these productivity sits, you can bet your sweet A$$ I'll be voting against it!!!"
It better have Trip/Duty...
