    Question for UPS guys

    Colgan 3407 Update

    Pilot is faulted in fatal N.Y. air crashBy Alan Levin, USA TODAY WASHINGTON — A pilot on the flight that killed 50 people outside Buffalo last month apparently triggered the crash by yanking the aircraft into a sudden steep climb that caused it to lose control, federal accident investigators...

    Colgan 3407 Update

    NTSB released excerpts from their preliminary report... Google for it... bottom line, NTSB said it usually waits one year to release findings but it has found the cause as pilot error (flew the aircraft into an approach to stall and improper recovery). Formal relesase I believe is May 12...

    Colgan 3407 Update

    I concur with your thoughts... sometimes the forest is lost through the trees. Given that, I'm honestly blown away at the cause of this accident. I had the false assumption that by the time two pilots reach a 121 airline something as simple as basic airspeed awareness is akin to second...

    Colgan 3407 Update

    I've followed this tragedy with interest like most other aviators and am NOT here to start a fight. With today's preliminary findings I am left scratching my head though. As I understand it, the two pilots were engaged in extraneous conversation below 10k (18k per my employer) and were...

    Fedex incident in NRT right now.. anyone heard anything?

    YIKES tj... nothing like a rush to judgment. As one ages, gains experience and perspective, one also generally becomes more humble. Perhaps... just perhaps... there is good reason the NTSB doesn't follow your lead. Winds, windshear, gusts, crosswind component, V-speeds, control inputs...

    Cargo Flying in Africa

    Forgot to mention... that soft, fluffy white stuff you grew up with is neither widely available nor used (except in hotels, etc...)... so it's key to keep the left and right hands straight: left = replaces Charmin :eek: right = eat with it :) If you want to press-to-test, just offer a local...

    Cargo Flying in Africa

    Great advice from the other posters. I'll reiterate to do WHATEVER you must in order to maintain uninterrupted respiration. When in IMC... ONLY descend via published airway and be sure your position is accurate. Make your calls in the blind, even if it's tedious. Occasionally there are...

    What if socialists designed airplanes...

    It's sad and shocking to be reminded of how many socialists there are out there who don't believe they can provide for themselves and are demanding handouts from the successful! :( BBB

    On NPR - What makes a good airline pilot

    When you want to steal from those who are successful and give to those who have simply want a handout (all liberals), what exactly do you call it? BBB

    300 furloughs UPS

    On NPR - What makes a good airline pilot

    Most excellent! Those wishing to destroy America will have to wait another day. Unfortunately, there are many lined up who are lazy and want a hand out. Perfect for Rez's fantasy world of the FAT, Gluttonous and Give-Me-Now wanting to confiscate from the hard-working, productive, honest...

    300 furloughs UPS

    I agree. Give credit where it is due... Instructordufus definitely raises the trolling bar. Subtle enough, yet just in your face... I give Instructor a "touche" for his his persistence and creative irritations. Among the FI trolling, he has definitely raised the bar. BBB

    Hey, I finally agree with you Rez! I'm just shocked your observation was so succinct. You've got to know you get long-winded at times! :D BBB

    And you thought paying for a coke was bad

    Ah... the discretionary whiz. At first it might feel discretionary, but as the urgency increases the discretion decreases. What's next? Some smokin' hot chick squats in the aisle to swap out the sloughed off uterine lining containment device? :puke:

    UAL pilots treatment to Hudson FO...

    It's great to hear stories positively reflecting the fraternity of our industry. Hats off to the UAL folks for their professional hospitality. Living in domicile, I have had very few opportunities to jump seat, but each time I have I have been warmly welcomed by the crew (if not always by...
