    SWA lands at wrong Branson Airport

    As for being heads down, if you can't change a landing runway in any FMS in 15 seconds during flight, than you should not be flying the airplane that FMS is attached to. And if you can't find 15 seconds on approach to dedicate to that change, then you should not be flying that approach.

    SWA lands at wrong Branson Airport

    Branson (BKG) - airport of intended landing, is a private airport with airline ops. Has tower with non-FAA controllers. Springfield approach does vectors. Tower usually asks to report 2 mile final before issuing landing clearance.

    You press that prompt every time you sign a dispatch release.

    SWA lands at wrong Branson Airport

    Less likely to happen at AirTran where we're required to overfly final approach fix on every visual approach at night. Pretty hard to overfly a marker at one airport and then land at another. Also they were operating in rising terrain. Airport they landed at is in the valley - 350 feet lower...

    In Memory of Rich.

    I'm not throwing him under a bus. Did you read my post? I'm just saying that there has been a development last week that directly related to his views. I hope his decision was not related to union work. However, if you knew him enough you would know that he had a loving and supporting wife...

    He was a merger committee member, I know he was on this forum. Don't know his Login though.

    In Memory of Rich.

    I am deeply saddened by the news. While I never liked the guy and argued with him on subject of SLI at every opportunity, I feel very sorry for what happened. Rich was very passionate in what he believed. He loved SWA and trusted upper management. He convinced 86% of AirTran pilots to give up...

    Sorry PSA..

    Do you realize that 39% voted no? That's 153 pilots that are now stuck with a sh*t TA, and the added bonus of being viewed as scabs or whatever else you decide to call them.

    Mideast Airlines Taking Over

    I dont know if there is any truth to the subsidizing accusations, but ill say this. Emirates has a product that put us carriers to shame. Ive been in biz class on both their 777 and 380. No one here compares. If US carriers want to compete then thats exactly what they need to do. Improve...

    PSA T/A Reached

    Ok I agree if US and AMR were not merging, PDT and PSA would probably not have tas right now. Besides that, what going on behind the scenes?

    PSA T/A Reached

    There is no grand conspiracy here. Parker cant have any unknown cost during a transaction of assets. The amr board still has to vote I believe, and having open contracts is not desirable.
