Comair FO leaves hospital for rehab

[Rogue5]

Why the heck was this moved out of the Regionals forum?!

Come on Mods, lay off!

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Yo... Prop!!! S.H. passed his checkride!! I know he really thanks you for not bidding back EWN!!!


Hows the new home????

If I could just get some of those old farts to retire, I'd be there in a heartbeat! Tell S.H. I said congrats.

I was actually down there the other day taking the wife and livestock (kids) to the beach... Brought a tear to my eye.

Now back to your regularly scheduled flame fest!

Yo, Surf!! Prop is getting hit on by Latina cashiers here at the store in NY...

Anyways, we're taking real good care of him up here. He will be a changed man, in so many wrong ways, when he gets back to EWN. :nuts:

73

After what you and J.W. have subjected me to in Bev's Flushing Pleasure Palace... You are right, I never will be the same.

Oh yeah, and that Latina cashier at the Trade Fair? Hey, she was all OVER it!

How's the motorino?

 

[WSurf]

Too Funny!!! So Prop........ are you holding one in your mouth now????
Don't tell me you wake up on your overnights with your Boxers on backwards and a hicky on the back of your neck!!! Say it ain't sooooo!!!

I think the problem is Boomer2 is that everyone is sugar coating this and your not. Your being direct.

He wont be able to fly due to crew negligence. Insurance would have a fit. I hope he continues to fly. I dunno about 135 maybe. I'm sure this accident will go on his record and being pilot error, I dunno if he will ever be able to get a job. What insurance company for whatever 135/121 company would hire someone with that on his record. Maybe I'll be wrong. Its extremely unfortunate! I hope he has a speedy recovery

I feel awful for everyone. Wished this never happened!

An accident is a chain of events. This could have happened to any of us, investigation will reveal many things that lead up to this accident. I realize that he partially to blame but many people here have made mistakes. I have been in two airplanes that had a similar airport setup and one of them actually started to takeoff before I aborted. One of the problems with airline is that it is SO routine. Anybody here ever run a red light? I hope he gets back on the horse, I know we have alot of atheists on this board but there is probably a reason he survived. I guarantee he will never make the same mistake again.

Overnights? LGA? Nope... Nary a one. The crashpad 12 nights a month is about the best I can do.

I Haven't been forceably subjected to any horrible things yet... But these AA mainline guys I'm staying with are awefully strange. They wear very tight pants, tapered shirts and stare at me when I bend down to pick up my bag. I sleep with one eye open all the time and refuse the beverages and candy they constantly offer.

I think this guy has bigger issues than just his career. Either way, its going to scar him for life (both physically and mentally), and I don't think anyone needs to add insult to injury.
If he gets back on the horse, more power to him, I wouldn't mind flying with someone with that kind of ambition. Everyone makes mistakes, some learn, some cover up, some resign. Its all about how you react.

Dude, your killing me!!!!!!!!!! Too f'in funny!!!!

Are you referring to the DC-8 at Gitmo? I beleve that was Buffalo Airways if I am not mistaken. The FO was - or is a POI at ASA. Was in the brief on my type-ride on the RJ.

DC-8 at Gitmo was a Kalitta crew.

You have to believe in the indominable human spirit. Douglas Bader was a one-legged fighter ace!

The sadest thing would be if he does'nt get back on the horse. Do what the FO from the ASA brasilia did and continue to fly.

Are you guys talking about this guy???:

If so, that's got to be one of the greatest examples of getting back on the horse that bucked you off!

Are you kidding me?

I don't usually post (I'm more of a troller)- but I couldn't help myself. Imagine this: this guy gets his job back (somehow), or gets hired by another regional, the airplane is being boarded, and somebody somehow recognizes this poor guy sitting in the cockpit (don't ask me how- just play along) and screams out, "Oh my god, aren't you that guy who killed 49 people in that crash 2 years ago!"

At which point, this poor pilot replies, "Um........yes, I am THAT guy. But I've learned my lesson, and I promise you, it WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! Have a nice flight, sir."

Cmon guys!!! Now I know that that is a bit of an oversimplified example, but you get my point. This is ridiculous! He will never again be a paid professional pilot ANYWHERE! He should never step foot into an airplane again, unless he is a PAX or flying his own little Cessna or Piper or whatever.

Don't try and tell me it wasn't just his fault and that there were other factors involved and blah blah blah. 49 PEOPLE WERE KILLED! 49 PEOPLE WERE KILLED! 49 PEOPLE WERE KILLED! And as far as we know at this time (until the official NTSB report is completed), this poor pilot played a major part in their death.

So enough is enough, I wish him well in rehab, but he should never fly professionally again. If this happened to any one of us, the same would be said. If you're involved in something similar to this, you NEVER fly professionally again. Sorry, life is cruel, I know we all make mistakes all the time.......maybe even every day. And 99.9999999% of the time, nobody dies. In fact, there are rarely any consequences to those tiny mistakes. But this one time for this one pilot, THERE WAS! People lost there life. Unacceptable. Unacceptable. Unacceptable.

I'm sorry, but this guy doesn't fly anymore. I repeat, this guy doesn't fly anymore. His flying career is ruined, his future as an airline pilot is ruined, and now it's time for a career change.

It's OK to have compassion for this guy, he's been through h-ll and back, and I wish him well, and a speedy recovery, but let's be real, he does not belong in the cockpit of any airplane. Yes, he may have learned a very valuable lesson in safety, and he may very well be one of the safest and most aware aviators in the industry because of the experience he has been through, but it just DOES NOT MATTER. This was too big of a mistake, too horrific of an outcome because of his actions (along with his cohort), too many people whose hopes and dreams were shattered that morning......................

F%ck You And The Horse You Rode In On. You need to be banned right now!! A$$hole.

Your a punk. No I believe the ASA accident we are talking about is the accident were the propeller came off the engine and got stuck on the wing. Those guys did about as good as a job that could have been done.

Why am I a punk???

I just realized that I linked the wrong NTSB report...I meant to link the one that lost the prop blade.
