"It's not an emergency; it's our job"
I've never been a huge fan of that statement. I understand it's intent, but if you can't operate in the emergency environment safely, find a different career field.
it was me that came up with and first presented "it's not an emergency, it's out job:" -------------You're kidding, right....
What other erroneous slogans have you come up with?
Uhhh...?
Inform yourself...Congress is trying to pass a bill right now that will allow MAFFS/ANG to deploy, without committing all contract resources, first. This bill has already passed the House...
Were you around in 2004?
Well....unfortunately said...maybe we need more rules and Regs. I need 30 more years out of this business. If ******************** like this keeps happening...it's all gone.
Sharky, T. Raider's old co-pilot, slept in the ditch east of the tanker base in Fox.
Walter P. and Chadwell slept out in the Everglades once...though not by choice...
Enlighten us, please.
There's nothing to disagree on.
I'll mention this to the CalFire AMU officials, and the lead driver, and see what their reaction is.
B.S.
The profile flown by the lead for the Dc-10 was flown between 300-500' AGL, mandatory. Four airtankers' flew that same line <150' AGL just minutes before, all uneventful.
I was there, I've seen the video. Classic rookie mistakes. They're lucky to be alive.
Move on
Yep, just finished my 8th consecutive fire season. 1500+hrs in the fire environment, scratch free, and still not the Capt. of an airtanker. Still lots to learn!
I guess those Omni guy's are just better than me..
