A Tranny's first day of class at Southwest

[SWA/FO]

Can't wait to move to ATL!

 

[Scope out RJ's]

Can't wait to move to ATL!

Should be an easy move.......Just hook up the trailer to the old F150, and drive a couple hundred miles to find that perfect trailer park!:laugh:


On another note......That was a funny azz video!

 

[spciii]

You dont really want to start a Oak-town vs. A-town thing do you? oakland seems like candyland compared to the dirty south. So.....enjoy your Atlanta commute. I guess.

I guess if this thread gets degraded into a "my city is crappier than your city," then this video has been put to good use.

Very funny viideo, and I don't work for either airline (almost got a job at SWA in '98) Anyways, the marriage between Tran and SWA might become a match made in heaven (or hell...depending on who you ask). Good luck to all!!!!

The only thing missing besides a few more F bombs is a throbbing vein on the side of his forehead

 

[say again]

hahaha, should not have watched it on my phone during a meeting. The awkward laugh when it's silent bites.

Add a metal school pointer that gets whipped across your knuckles in the sim......then we can start talking!

You guys put up with that? Guess your pilot group is not as tough as I thought. If any of our instructors tried that, it would be quickly shoved straight up their azz.

Seriously, welcome aboard guys. When you meet Bob, ask him why you can't use flaps with speedbrakes. Then stand by for the f-bombs.

I truly hope all Tranny guys get to experience the "Torti Tirade" at least once in your career. He's truly a great guy and very passionate about what he does and SWA. I think he grew up on Long Island and he never lost the NY attitude. He almost makes training worth the trip ( not quite, but pretty close)

Or better yet, just say "That's not the way we did it at my old airline"

 

[Ty Webb]

But how many of your Captains still give a mighty forward push on the yoke during the takeoff roll, because "That's how we did it on the Connie"? :laugh:

When you see that technique, you know your 4 day trip just became a week in purgatory.

 

[GuppyWN]

I see guys push on the yoke more than I'd care to admit. Kinda like the guys killing all their lift by rolling down the runway with upwind aileron correction.

Dude........ it's a jet.

 

[Tripower455]

No. The car racing part is the funniest... If you know the real story.

LOL... I think he was getting beat, because he bought an '05 GTO shortly after............

Why should I? There haven't been any violations of the ToS, no reason to really. The profanity contained in the video isn't ON this website, and as long as it isn't a link to pornographic or racist material, there's no issue.

Again, if you don't like the site rules, I'll be happy to retire YOUR screen name upon your request.

Regards,

Ummm... OK, I'll bite. Why not? We do it every day without a problem... Of course, we also use the autothrottles below 10,000 without a problem, which I also don't understand the issues with.

Inquiring minds and all...
