Delta MD80 Slides off Taxiway in IND

[MQAAord]

As does AA.

This is hardly a DL issue.

I live in IND (NE side) and I needed 4WD to get out of my driveway this morning. The ice is pretty bad here.

FYI: Tanker Clown is the new flamer for 2009 and on. It used to be Lowecur who had nothing better to do except try to antagonize other forum members. Especially when it came to his beloved EMB's. Thankfully he has finally moved on. He must have gotten a girlfreind, we can only hope. So now we must all endure our "king flamer" Tanker Clown. Some day we can all hope he too will leave his little BOQ and realize there is more to life than sitting on Flight Info getting his jollies.

P.S. To all Delta folks, glad to hear eveyone was fine.

What...Allegiant has like 1 MD80. If they were to crunch it they would be SOL.

Very accurate, thanks for that.

You held a position which you don't know how to spell?

Hmmmm.

No, he was a senator's aids. He left out the s.

 

[dalad]

You can say whatever you want about my flight time, but at least i've never left a prepared surface. Safety is paramount for me. Maybe instead of giving me a hard time, you should focus on doing things right.

You will never leave a prepared surface because you are limited to day VFR only with winds less than 5 knots. P.S. if you really only have 1750 hours and are over 40 you can kiss an airline career goodbye, unless your line check airman buddy can help.

 

[say again]

I don't understand why this is news!!!!!!

 

[Tanker Clown]

This is news because once again, Delta turned a blind eye to safety and landed somewhere they shouldn't have. It's a nasty trend for them.

Did you ever upgrade to AC (Aircraft Commander)?

Senator's Aide?

Wasn't that gay guy that plead out to keep his advances on a cop hush-hush?

TC must work "under the table" where he gets paid.

[Most] Everyone who works at the Pentagon is there because nobody else wants them and they don't play nice with the other kids. The rest are appointed by the Pres.

I did some very important work back in DC and that he made it possible for me to achieve rank and it has also pretty much assured me the airline job of choice after I retire.

Whoever wanted to know if I made AC...yes, I did. In fact, I have been an IP in both tankers and even an evaluator. When you learn how to play the game, you tend to see the rewards. I'm not sure why you guys get so spun up on my flight time. Let's be frank. Flying is a simple job. It's blue collar. Sure there can be some intense moments when the wx is bad or there's a mechanical....but 99% of the time it's a piece of cake. So I would put my 1750+ hours as a military pilot with my contacts and resume up against any guy coming out of some regional jet.

"he made it possible"

So it was the good Senator from Idaho, was it?

Please, someone copy this over to the military threads where someone will call this BS. @ 1700hrs, you haven't lived long enough to teach much less evaluate the bluejuice recycled from a KC10 back from Iraq.

A long(er) distinguished commission with a flight status' would require 2x what you got given the tempo AMC has been on since 9/11.

Buzz off! Poser.

Except and I mean EXCEPT, as an evaluator-if you really were one-you could go hide under your desk if the WX went under 500/1.5. you are nothing but a yssup.

 

[Scope out RJ's]

Everytime I see you've posted I see my tax dollars going down the drain. This much time on your hands during business hours means you're completely expendable to any unit you belong to. Nice career you've had.

Time is not the only thing this jerkoff has on his hands!:laugh:

And have you ever landed on a runway that had GOOD braking action reports and hit a patch of ice? I have, several times. If you had a little more experience flying instead of sniffing a congressman's underwear maybe you would have too.

I say good job to the DAL crew for keeping the pax calm and getting everyone off with no injuries.

Remember that IND just opened its new terminal last most. It could have been an unfamiliar taxiway too. Add to that a little ice, and how well the MD likes to make sharp turns and there you have it!

 

[ASA_DFW]

I guess Tanker Clown was not at the top of his AF class. All of the captains I have flown with that were in the AF said the tanker guys were the bottom of the AF caste system. No respect. I guess he needs attention of FI because he had none in the military.

 

[Tanker Clown]

ACLPILOT,

If this was the case, they should have used the 5 P's.

Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance

Take a look at the taxi diagram.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

I have and I have gone in there since the new terminal opened, on a 757.

True, and witnesses were talking about "black ice."

LOL. Shows how little you know about this industy. I would chose the RJ guy over you anytime. Especially on a dark and stormy night. You take a Horizon or Skywest guy with the same 1700 hrs and they will fly circles around you in hard IMC. they do it all the time at night in the MTs carring a ton of ice, landing at mins, with poor braking action. How many times have you done that?
