Re: Ok, I'll ask...

What happened in Burbank? Were THEY wearing clothes?

Yeah, I think they had their clothes on... The story I heard was that the crew was a little late getting to burbank and decided they could save time by getting some gas at the local Shell before they taxied into the gate. Well they musta forgot to throw it in to 4WD before departing the runway and their nose gear collapsed as they went through the grass, fence, highway etc. But they did make it to the gas station.

At least thats what I heard...

I hadn't heard that one.

they went through the grass

Ever been to Burbank? Find me some grass at the end of THAT runway!

 

[canyonblue]

Burbank, anyone?

I know I can twist some titties on this board sometimes, but as fellow airmen lets not ever go to bringing up any other airlines accidents or incidents. Dude, it's bad karma.

OK OK.... lets get off the "personal" track

and get back to the issue... (it's easy to get real emotional here especially when personal items are being attacked , i.e. profiles, etc. , but there's really no need for it... )

I agree with SWA guy... it's the Washington Post, or any media for that matter, who tends to blow everything out of proportion...

Oh, OK, so ... this, "If you havnt been there then you havnt been doing this long enough to weigh in on this issue or you are full of cr@p.." is then a "good" karma? Bringing up someone else's accidents - believe you me, of all fellow airmen I would know that one. Bringing it up was in reference to what was an otherwise full of himself, “be easy to be high and fast on and not be a problem later in the descent..” post followed by, “who are you to question me?” (another “good” karma?) attack on my profile, or lack of, DUDE.

Settle down boys.

Only by the grace of God and superior airmanship does both SWA and AirTran not go off the end of MDW's 31C on a daily basis.

Question.....

Spur..
What really happen in FL when your guys dumped a 727 in the grass short of the runway last year and walked away from it?

I heard that the F/E was servicing the captain, with coffee I hope, which kept him distracted, while at the same time the FO, pilot flying, in a tired delusional state at 5am spotted Elvis streaking thru the woods just below the aircraft and decided to nose it over and take him out once and for all!

Don't shoot the messenger, just what I heard....

 

[Goose17]

actually...

That is pretty close, but while the FE was servicing the Captain (with coffee), his head hit the yoke, they nosed over, and that is how Elvis was taken out.

It is still hush/hush under investigation.

Geeze Mr. Jeremy,

If you're going to make a smart a$$ remark, at least make sure it's funny. . . .

 

[Spooky Magnum]

Thanx for calling me Mr....

KLHoard,

Sorry to offend but I did think my comment was rather whitty... Maybe I'll just stick to what I know, Porn and well...................., Just Porn....

At 22 she became a captain.
Still, “there was no time for dillydallying around,” she said. “I was bound and determined not to waste any time. I am real action-oriented when it comes to the progress of my career.”
Once, when she was filling out paperwork in the cockpit of a 19-seat turboprop before a flight, she heard a passenger questioning her credentials. She came out to coolly advise the man that if he was uncomfortable on her plane he was free to take another flight.
“If people don’t like me, they can get off,” she said. “I just won’t be disrespected.”


Dang it, why didn't I think of that sooner......If I had only been more "action oriented" when it came to the progress of my career I might have moved along as fast as her. Shucks, I guess hindsight is 20/20.

P.S.- I wonder how Southwest feels about her asking every "disrespecting" passenger to get off the plane???

From NTSB;

Southwest Airlines records indicate that the accident airplane arrived at LAS from Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles, California, about 1630, almost 2 hours behind schedule, because of rain and gusting winds in the LAS area. The accident flight crew indicated that the preflight inspection was normal and that no maintenance discrepancies were noted.

Flight 1455 departed the gate about 1650,

20 minute turn with a crew change, can we all say OTP pressure was a major factor in the Burbank accident, just like some chick at SWA flying 500mph to fast.

Mr. Jeremy. . .

Mr. Jeremy,

I would like to start off by saying that I have nothing but unbounded respect and admiration for your accomplishments and career success. If my high school counselor would have had a pamphlet detailing "porn star" as a career path, I wouldn't be on this web site exchanging pithy comments with you guys!!

Seriously, though, it is difficult to know what someone's intent was when reading a short text message. Everyone needs to have a thick skin when reading people's posts. . . Until the person unequivically declares themself a jerk!!

One thing does bother me about some of the comments on this thread and elsewhere on this message board. Aircraft accidents and incidents, no matter what airline they happened to, should be absolutely TABOO (no connection to some of your best work, Mr. Jeremy) when comparing one airline to another. For a group of pilots, I cannot think of a worse type of Karma to bring upon us.

20 min turn?

Mmmm.... actually, 20 minute turns are pretty generic at SWA... lol, in the old days we used to turn the planes in 10 min... as for the SWA chick flying 500mph too fast, I don't see how that could happen... remember, this was an "aricle" from the W. Post... they do have "the Enquirer"s reputation these days
