Didn't Eastern fly 727's into EYW? I know that Piedmont ( the real one) flew F-28's in there
Oh the airplane is capable. Not even saying it's dangerous. Why do we take intersection takeoffs? Either because it's normal ops as in the case on 32L T10 in ORD or to save time/fuel. My point is I wouldn't go chopping the runway in half just to save my company a few dollars. Sure it's safe if the numbers say so but I don't get paid more for reducing my margin. Do you or anyone else on this board? Esspecially to act as if I'm saving my airline one flight at a time.
As opposed to killing your airline one flight at a time?
wtf?
In every choice you make- you need to multiply that by every crew in the company... wasting money under the guise of safety is ridiculous and steals credibility from the unions. If you're comfortable out of a 7000' rwy- you should be comfortable from an intersection w/ 7000 remaining. CEO's are killing american industry- but it's this mentality that is helping motivate them to kill unionism.

You need to do everyone who's actually working in unions a favor and keep our credibility high by doing your job. A big part of that is maximizing you and your a/c's capabilities to earn $$. G'damned hard to get you a raise if there's no money in the coffers and you keep burning it in the operation for no reason at all.
Look-- i can't even argue that. B/c that's what they've done. Exec's are a big cause of this recession. Taking too much- cooking books. Who's motivated to perform in this environment? You'd be stupid to care.
I'm not saying it's everything- it just lacks credibility if you call the intersection t/o a "SAFETY" issue when you takeoff out of SNA and JAC all day long. What you're saying is that you don't care to take effort to save $$ and fuel... that's different and an attitude most execs have earned -- Just call it what it is and don't hide under the safety banner.
