4 Additional DAL 700s for AtlSE

[crj567]

I remember that same "swagger" when Atlantic Coast got a big United contract and they were growing like wildfire in all the UAL hubs......

I seem to remember some sort of "swagger" when mainline guys were making $350 per hour and eagerly calling everyone else "prop trash" as well.

-"Good" goes around. "Great" lands on a taxiway.

Since you can't just drop the subject with this pilot vs. pilot crap.

"Great" lands on a taxiway at the end of a second consecutive all nighter, the second one with no break and a last minute sidestep with no backup.

"Awesome" crashes a perfectly good CRJ after joking about drinking beer in flight, switching seats in flight to take pictures, and flying into the coffin corner then not knowing how to restart the engines and missing all available airports nearby that the awesome pilots could have glided into.

Ouch. Well played, but ouch.

Don't forget the wingtip dance and the and the Romeo landing....Glass house much?

Agreed. Some of you on here are pretty sad. Are your egos that fragile?

Maybe so, but "super-duper awesome" forgets to set takeoff flaps in his 727 because he is too busy commenting his FA's ass. Subsequent crash messes up a whole lot of innocent asses.

Or maybe your friendly neighborhood sky nazi forgets to retract spoilers during an escape maneuver, and flies a perfectly fine plane right into a mountain after becoming stupid lost down at Cali.

-And so forth, and so on.... Everyone screws up. Some people just paid a lot more to screw stuff up whilst doing exactly the same job in exactly the same environment-and screwing up the same exact things. Reality sucks.

-"Prop trash" can screw up, but you sky gods can pull a good hum-dinger just as good as any bug smasher ever did.

Get over it....

 

[Abernathy]

We do the same job only to more obscure airports, 5-6 times a day, on 5 hrs of sleep or less. When we screw up, we have real excuses that don't involve laptops.

Yep, but I'm still a mainline sky god at the end of the day. Sure is better being able to blame my crap on you lowlifes.
