1900 gear collapse

[AngelKing]

That would be Continental Connection, not Express. Two seperate carriers, operating two seperate fleet types.

I don't fly for the commuters, don't know who owns what and don't even really care. I just saw the Continental logo on the tail.

Why are you sitting, I would have been running...running so I could get in a good position to moon somebody on the plane. It wouldn't matter who...just so they could get home from their vacation and tell people, "There I was, thought I was gonna die...then all the sudden some fat guy with a hairy butt ran up and mooned us."

LMAO.

 

[The_Russian]

How do you figure that?

Um, they are both sub-contractors for CO's flying.

Those guys did a great job. You folks should be applauding them for how well that was handled. I know both those guys, and they are very professional pilots.

Good job guys!

 

[gkrangers]

Continental Express is explicitly ExpressJet Airlines.

Connection, as you know, is Gulfstream, Colgan, Cape Air, and so on.

1. Performed by persons receiving pay.

Technically speaking, I don't think you can call the F/O a professional. :erm:



Seriously though, glad nobody was hurt.

Why? The FO is a hired pilot. He is not in the program. You guys are pure a$$holes. You just run your mouth and assume all the time about GIA. You don't even know what you are talking about. These crewmembers saved peoples lives! Give them some goddamn credit you ********************ing assholes.

Still, I'm glad everyone is ok.

Lighten up man. A sense of humor goes a long way around here, especially if you're Gulfstream's #1 Cheerleader.

By the way, I still like my definition better.

 

[kevdog]

um... ok you dorks, so what happened with the gear?

Happens frequently after takeoff.

it was just on the news here in FLL, they said it was had 23 people on board.

I wonder if the PFTer in the right seat had to pay extra for this.

wow, that is so observant of you. and 415 hours is so much time, you are so experienced:smash: . a buddy of mine just got hired at fedex from there. hmm, ill tell you what, let me know if you get in there with less than 4000 hours and no jet time. but, you guys are right, you cant go anywhere from gulfstream.

Doesn't matter how many hours I have, I didn't pay for my job. Who cares if your buddy got hired at FedEx, whoopeeeee.
