    The legend of BUBBA

    You smoke crack all the time, or only when ya post on FI.Com...? What the hell does the above post mean? Some kind of inside joke, or just babble?

    Cargo 360?

    Most of them guys are early retired Delta. If they got out at the right time, with their half Mill, I don;t think they are in the refrigerator magnet business. Yet anyway.

    AA will increase to 40/month starting July

    Funny thing is that the TWA dudes accept the recalls at a much higher rate than the native AA guys. Why? The TWA guys hates the AA evil empire so much, yet they want to come back for more....:rolleyes:

    AA jumpseat at the gate

    Before 9/11 and before I got on with AA I commuted between DFW and LGA/JFK with AA for 7 years. Found the agents in LGA to especially helpful and they went out of their way to help me get a seat. Although every airline has a cranky agent, I never felt AA had more than the average.

    Crosswind question

    Ya ever landed a B-747 in a 20 knot cross wind on a icy/slick runway? Keep the crab in there as ya have no traction once ya kick out the crab and get the wings level. In other words, ya may need the crab in there for a few more moments to keep it on the centerline while the spoilers come out...

    Crosswind question

    Sideload is ok..Especially on a wet or slick runway. The airplane will straighten itself out. In a steady cross wind across a dry runway, sure, kick it straight. (B-747) On the B-767 and B-757 they recommend ya land wing down like a Cessna...Set up the configuration way early to get...

    Southern Air Scheduale

    Refresh my memory here: What contract? You guys joined the Teamsters or formed an In-House? And the company actually agreed to negotiate and sign a contract? It was tried over at Tradewinds a few years ago, but they fired all the union guys....Problem solved..:rolleyes:

    Tradewind Aviation

    Jees, another one: There is 2 Tradewinds Airlines flying big birds, one in the UK and one in the US. They both started with the CL-44. Then there is Trade Winds in Miami, hauling freight with Brazilias or some such jungle-prop. Now ya are saying there is a Tradewinds Aviation doing Caravans..?

    For AMR, a Pilot-Salary Fight Looms

    Nevermind.... Deleted my post, tired of picking fights with TWA guys. RIP.

    Any former DC-3 freightdogs out there?

    Yeah, that was the only way to keep the -3 from bouncing back in the air when ya touch down: Not only would the spring action from the struts and the big tires make the aeroplane bounce, but also with the CG behind the main gear, any down momentum would get the tail down, the nose up and ya be...

    Any former DC-3 freightdogs out there?

    Keith was also my old buddy. We drank a bunch of beers together, and I even let him sail my boat while I was in Alaska hauling fish. (My 44' liveaboard boat, not a dinghy) I think he died in a DC-6 crash in Louisiana, not a DC-4..? They all drowned in the cockpit. RIP Keith.

    Former TWA Attendants Press On

    AMR because of Pay Longetivity? I can see why they would rather hire people of the street for a lot less money. But the union? With the TWA gals being all the way on the bottom anyway, it should not hurt the "native" AA gals?

    Any former DC-3 freightdogs out there?

    Roger on that, got some stories flying Air India Cargo with the -73s.

    Any former DC-3 freightdogs out there?

    Well, not so. I did not operate the -3 in icing conditions like you did. My stuff was mostly day/VFR and not too hairy as long as the engines did not quit at T/O way below VMC. (They didn't..Lady Luck looks after the fools and the drunks.:D ) The short field work was intersting, but again, the...

    Any former DC-3 freightdogs out there?

    Well, I can't top that story. Once we were suppsoed to land on our beach in Alaska but the weather was too bad to get it down. Low clouds, rain and strong winds. (The beach was Tsiu River btw) I knew of some kind of dirt strip nearby but had never been there. We started circling at low...
