ASA and the USAir Hudson:

[Terry Hunter]

Where's the love for the FO? The media is giving the captain a medal of honor, but it was a team activity, right? Sheeesh...

Agreed- this is bothering me too... Let's give the FO some love here. The FA I was flying with today mentioned how the FA's got no mention for their evac assistance... granted, what do you tell people... get out, er on the wing, NOW.

From the sounds of it, there will be nothing that the Feds can reasonably do to address this. 'Reasonably' being the key word.

And that GUARANTEES that the Feds will do something about it!!!!

I thought this was leading into a Chuck Norris joke.

No birds can tell from their living of a Chuck Norris strike...

DAL already has one in effect. This morning, all DAL flight departing LGA were heard saying "Wind and Bird check?"

I think you have just about run that one into the ground. Do you get offended when someone says "wind check"

No.

In fact, I've asked for one on the F-Terminal ramp in Philly, when DAL was still a presence on the opposing gates.

 

[CoATP]

Will it be necessary to have 5 mi separation if "Heavy Bird Activity" is reported?

Maybe we can get some anti-bird guns mounted on the jet. That would be sweet!

 

[MACHTRANSDUCER]

I'll bet they'll paint pics of owls on the noses.

DAL already has one in effect. This morning, all DAL flight departing LGA were heard saying "Wind and Bird check?"

The controller responds to Delta "winds are 240 at 3 knots and there is a pigeon sitting on top of the jet bridge at gate C 20, say intentions".

KDAB has had a NOTAM for "birds in vicinity of airport" active since 1978. I guess no going there.

who cares what the wind is doing? You have it on the atis and you have a wind barb on your fancy get of yours. Do what it takes to fly the plane, its just wind man, deal with it

The wind Barb on my fancy get never tells the story 20 feet abouve the runway....but I still agree with you

 

[BOX OFFICE]

It's ok, just as long as you don't shut down the wrong engine, if you lose one to birds.

Are you for real? If you can actually substantiate this claim, we'd love to hear the evidence. Otherwise you should be ashamed of yourself or starting such a vicious rumor!
