Comair's Sole Crash Survivor wants to fly again

[SplitBar]

Keep in mind that fatigue played a major part in this accident. You can brief all you want and still may forget something if you become distracted by some unwanted input. They could have flown in and out of there 300 times and it wouldn't have mattered.

No flame here but how did fatigue factor in? I didn't read the final briefs. Wasn't the crew coming off a long layover and it was the 1st flight of the day? It's easy to play the fatigue card just like crying wolf.

First of all, I didn't receive ANY "butt kicking". There is absolutely nothing wrong with Monday morning quarterbacking if it is done without disrespect to the dead. Did I disrespect any dead pilots in my postings? No I didn't. Your problem with my postings on the Dash 8 incident is your personal lack of ability to meet the needs of spontaneous thought required in the event of an emergency. My posts were made with an educated input instead of a moronic insult to fellow crew members. BTW, I have spoken to plenty of Dash pilots, and that scenario can be performed if necessary.

Please remember that those pilots used poor technique resulting in their aircraft departing the runway. The incident was completely foreseeable and caught on video. Aeromedical factors played no little or no part in that crash as it did in 5191's.

It was. One thing you forget to mention was that there were plenty of people backing me up on that. Not only here, but on other boards.
This has nothing to do with being grown up. It everything to do with thinking objectively.

Would you prefer the children?
Sure, they are. Go ******************** yourself, too.

You are delusional if you think anyone was backing you up..... good luck finding an example of it. It had everything to do with irrational thinking on your part, especially with total lack of regard to any systems knowledge.....
Consider yourself added to my ignore list I hope your crew members are smart enough to ignore "your words of wisdom" in the cockpit.....:laugh:

The "rushen" once again has his facts WRONG the fo and Fa were on a very long overnight , more than 24 hours.... the Captain commuted into the overnight the night before..... it was not reduced rest for any of the crew!

Ruskie always seems to place his opinion before the facts....

He should be working for the FAA......

So, you can't be fatigued after a long rest period or unless it's reduced rest?

Isn't Ruskie a chick?

Go read the two threads on the subject, you will find supporters. All-in-all, you aren't going to find many supporters in the middle of a crap storm created by ignorant fellows. The few that spoke up were insulted and belittled, which seems to be your ONLY debate strategy.

It had everything to do with irrational thinking on your part, especially with total lack of regard to any systems knowledge.....

If you consider "doing what is necessary to meet the needs of the emergency" irrational, I'm not so sure I am the one with the issue.

Consider yourself added to my ignore list I hope your crew members are smart enough to ignore "your words of wisdom" in the cockpit.....:laugh:

Nothing like bowing out when you've got nothing left in you. Well, maybe you have some wind left to blow smoke and thats it. I've been disappointed in your behavior since this crap started. Can't you at least act like an airline pilot, even if you lack the aptitude to be one?

Oh wait, I sound like you now. Stick to the facts.

(Edit)BTW: Just because you and some of the others don't agree with me, it doesn't make me an idiot.

That has absolutely nothing to do with fatigue. It is ignorant to believe that layover length will reflect a pilot's ability to perform. This accident had everything to do with a distraction as a result of fatigue. Circadian rhythms have an incredible influence on your ability to perform. Our rhythms are broken every time we wake up at a different time in the morning. You will see a direct correlation to a night cargo pilot's life span, its shorter.

Ruskie always seems to place his opinion before the facts....

The truth is that I am one of the FEW folks on here that actually posts without emotion and always thinks objectively.

I'll take your certificates right away.

See above.

Why does everyone say "play the fatigue card"? Its not a card and I'm not trying to win money. People need to increase their ability to accept another person's level of stamina. Just because someone gets tired before you do or in a situation you wouldn't, doesn't mean they are trying to get out of something.

Couldn't you just make one really long post instead of three? :uzi: :erm:

See above.

posts w/o emotion when you tell us to all go F ourselves?


Are you bi-polar our something?

Saturday was my anniversary. The wife and I were checking out some neighborhoods in the DFW area. I made a bad turn. I still don't know how that guy managed to swerve and miss me and the car next to me. Weboth stopped, I apologised profusely over and over. We were both shook, but disaster was averted. All i can say is it must not have been my time, because I screwed the pooch big time! The crash would have most certainly killed my wife. MustASShe, you are a classless a-hole, but I still hope your mistakes turn out like mine did. Now I'm kinda shook up all over again. Jim, I wish you all the best! I can't begin to know what you live with.

I can't help that you almost killed you own family, on the road, driving. Your fatalistic view (its my time) of life is troubling for a pilot, but explaines why you hate my posts so much. You can't handle that people can be held responsible for their descisions. You would rather blame the situation or circumstance.
Amazing, you can leave a post without insults, they were witty thought.

Not to be the spelling police, but I don't understand that last part about "witty thoughts"? "It's not my time" does not reflect a fatalistic view about life at all. It is simply the only explanation I can come up with for this particular situation. The guy should have hit me or the car next to me, it was that tight. Jim is being held responsible for his actions. Is he irredeemable because he effed up? I would say no, but perhaps you feel imperfection makes him so? Then are you also irredeemable? Or will you tell me you are perfect? Your spelling and punctuation have already given you away in that regard.

You can sure hang you hat on the spelling thing. The perfect argument has been brought up a lot in this post. It is such an easy, no thought way of avoiding the real issue. Personal responsibility is lost in this world. The word victim has been pinned to everyone that has misgivings. The fact is thay people screw up and should take responsibility.
The explanation for your near-Texas accident is that you screwed up, and you have a hard time accepting that--blaming it on fate!!!! You are part of this problem!!!

Relax. Take a deep breath. The previous guy said that he apologized over and over. I think that shows that he accepted responsibility for his actions. No one is perfect. The right thing to do is forgive people for their actions and move on.

I thought I was on your "ignore list"!

This may have been the thing you were unable to understand. I was not re-inventing the emergency checklist. Please re-read my posts which clearly highlight the fact that I was speaking about flying technique and performing actions that the checklist does not cover. No checklist covers "crashing procedure" or crashing technique". These things that you must do that are "outside the box" will save lives.

Please remember that meeting the needs of an emergency will change for every emergency ehile the checklist does not change.

This is basic airmanship we are talking about here.

Was I having a debate? No. I was telling some folks off. As you can read, they deserve it. These pilots were our comrades, and now they are dead and disabled.

Apparently it is because of my "bi-polar" disorder. Oh crap, I made three posts again!
