Continental Airline Pilots and ATC at Houston

oh boy...

Hmm, we flew an easy visual from 20 miles out to 26L yesterday afternoon. Cloudy above, but great vis at 4K as I recall. Rather dull and uneventful. Sorry that neither you or the skipper had the airmanship or CRM (BALLS) to avoid an unstable approach. Saving it is always a great idea btw...

 

[Raoul Duke]

My passengers and I will thank you.

When you say "passengers" do you mean the checks that you are flying around in a 206?

 

[igneousy2]

The only "pressure" you feel to take a visual is in YOUR own mind. The person responsible for taking a turn inside the marker is you. The person responsible for the unstable approach is you.

As to the "cloud penetrations" you saw while on the jumpseat...I say DEFINE CLOUD.

Otherwise STFU and mind your own airplane.

" So, ATC tried to pressure us (Mommy!) to take a visual approach into RWY 26R.

Unfortunately, my captain ( Vagina ) fell for the bait because ATC threatened (scary ) to break us off from the approach and re-sequence us. (Oh...MY....GOD.)

The result was that ATC gave us some wild vector, well inside of OWELL FAF that resulted in an un-stabilized approach that I managed to save. ( What a Farkin Moron.)

However, both my captain and I were extremely upset. (Gay.)"

I...Think....I ....Need to Puke.


Wherever I need to go.....I am driving from now ON.

Un-Effing-Believable.

I think there's a CAL JS out there that needs some "sanatizing." OP might have left some FOD.

Oh well...

Go-Arounds pay more than landings.:beer:

 

[dooork]

Sounds like your captain is as dumb as you.
He fell for the bait.....and you saved the day....

go blow each other now and have your own personal crying game.

 

[amlplt]

Say thank you!

Say thank you for the ride home. Don't try to back seat pilot. Leave that to the Feds. Tell the next Captain you blog about this kind of thing when you ask for the jumb seat then see if your getting home that day!!

Well said!!!

If you can't run with the big dogs then stay on the poarch. I think there's a reason why we back up our visual app with an instrument procedure.

Who's flying your ****ing airplane, you or ATC?

You really need to get out more.
