Comair pilots almost took wrong plane

[greg52083]

I was hoping the 10 dollar charge would cut down on the Flame on here. Apprently some pilots make enough to toss 10 bucks to get a rise out of people.

How do you know hes even a pilot?

 

[xjlifer]

If he is I would hate to fly with him...nothing worse in aviation than a know it all.

Especially bad when they jump all over a accident screaming I would NEVER have done THAT!!

Would you guys please stop bashing 747fly(little)boy and Kevmutt! It takes a lot of experience and will power to stop touching one's self long enough while surfing porn to fly ALL the airplanes on MS Flight Simulator and become master pilots....Hmmm, since they are baiting everyone on here, would you call them master baiters?

 

[737 Pylt]

Its like a $10 stupid tax.

Priceless!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

There is a reason that this is an important story to report. It needs to remind us that no matter how routine your day may be, we still need to put our energies into expecting the non-routine items that will undoubtedly be thrown our way.

Sure, the ramper or gate agent may tell you the wrong airplane...but what if the dispatch release is late, and you are forced into a rush...but you don't take the time to slow down. Did you miss the tail number? Or the fact that airplane you climbed into was prefueled by the ramp who had looked up the fuel numbers while you were busy. In your haste, you depart in an aircraft that is fueled for a 35 minute flight...but have a 135 minute flight ahead of you. It HAS happened.

The fact that they got into the wrong airplane does not necessarily reflect on them, but potentially, the fact that you or I did it, could reflect upon our abilities sometime in the future.

Fly Safe!

God forbid CS sent them to the wrong plane, and the ramper who was loading them (knowing what was going where) got 'em going in the right direction.

Damn good points. At the majors when they go to the gate there is only one airplane normally. At the 'regional' level i've seen 4 planes sitting there at the gate. I've asked the rampie which one is ours and I've been told the wrong plane several times. And I've also been told 'The release will be out shortly'. I've learned at this point to call dispatch and see what they have to say.

We are all human. Remember that. Sometimes we have to slow down a little when we realize that things are beginning to slide the wrong way. Learn to recognize that point and deal with it. I've pulled over when taxiing out, stopped and caught our minds up with the airplane. 25 years ago it saved our lives.

I vote that we put kevdog and 747flyboy on the NTSB investigation board. They apparently have it all figured out.

I vote we put them in a cockpit together and see how long it takes them to make the news.

I suspect the FA's would put visine in their coffee before they even had a chance to make the news.
