Delta pilot arrested.

Many of the South guys offer, and if they give in their brief I let them go tap dance around the exterior, but if they ask, I turn them down. You are correct it is your job. I agree.

My philosophy is much like a CA demanding to pay for my dinner. If he demands or insists, far be it for me to refuse his desire to buy my chow. It is a nice gesture either way and should not be refused.

Oh yeah, this forum is not what it used to be. Many guys have migrated to others.

"Geez-you code enforcement guys are such a pain in the ass! The only reason you have a job is because I am super-rich, and own a big ass plane and a sweet Benz which I drive up and down the runway! If you guys don't get off my case, I'm gonna be forced to run you over with my big bug smasher!"

-"Now let's just move along, Barney-us big, rich guys have stuff to do!"
-"Don't make me flatten your Crown Vic, there Kojack!"

-You are right, ACL-Not all DAL guys are tools, but it damn sure looks like God put a few real award-winners on your list. I have been around the block a time or two, but I have never heard of anything like this from any pilot in the employ of any other airline. Threatening to RUN OVER the cops with his plane!?!? REALLY?????

-This guy must have ROCKED your interview, champ! (I guess all those you accuse of not being able to pass that big interview must feel a bit better after seeing what this perfect example of charm and class pulled off.) Maybe your test yould now include some questions about leaving treadmarks on squad cars.

P.S.- For those slow learners out there "code enforcement" people enforce local ordinances. I strongly suspect there may have been one or two concerning people driving on a freaking runway. Probably even a code in there somewhere about running over people with your damn plane.

The catch-22 of being and idiot is that you don't know you are and idiot and by definition, that is what makes you an idiot.

Here is the worst part, I've just explained to you that you are an idiot but it won't matter, you'll still keep it up.

See how that works.....


Feeble comeback in 5, 4 ,3, 2, 1....

Float and Init,

I am former NW and don't understand the walk around thing. As an FO I always do the walk around, its my job. In 13 yrs as an FO I think I had 1 or 2 capts do it. No big deal and I never complained, I do agree with changing up the rotation as far as outbound legs. As a capt. I always offered the FO the choice, 1st or 2nd. It went about 50/50. If they chose the outbound we did 2 legs each so both got an outbound and inbound. If they chose to go 2nd I took all the outbounds. Snooze you lose. I think you will find very few DN capts doing walk arounds. Personally every airline I have flown on it seems the FO does the walk around. I just don't see the big deal.

It has to do with time remaining. If you do a two terminal walk from one plane to another, and the FO has the next leg and needs to do the entire pre-flight, it was NICE if the Captain offered to do the walk around. Am I right in saying that at NWA the Captain ALWAYS programed the FMS first? That is the difference here, the FO or Pilot Flying programs the box first on his/her leg, and then the PNF or PM backs him/her up later, not just a Captain only item. I think maybe the NWA way of doing it was meant to keep the NWA Captains out of the MSP cold weather. Out here in ATL the Capt walkaround (if offered) is meant as a time saver.

Sorry to interrupt our regularly scheduled bitch session, but where does a Code Enforcement Officer fit in the power spectrum? Above or below Meter-Maid?



As far as the "Bitter RJ Crowd" goes. ASA Captain here, frustrated with my (lack of) career progression, but don't feel the need to blame or take it out on any mainline pilots, whether it be on FI or with jumpseat games, etc.

Please don't think we are all haters out here. I don't assume all of you hate Regional Pilots.

I missed the part where there was a second person in the DC-3. Was he going to take off by himself!

 

[Scope out RJ's]

Brother, you my man are a complete idiot

Now that's classic coming from you!:laugh:
But at least he didn't have to pay for his job to get hired!

 

[Cobraair75drvr]

You are correct about the capt. and the fms at nwa. And as a capt. I did the walk arounds if the fo was late(short call resv) other than that only if I felt like it. It was/is their job. If an fo was a good guy I always bought all the beer(not just the 3rd and 5th) and a lot of times I bought at least one meal. If they were a probie they did not spend a dime. As an fo now, I don't expect the capt. to do any of the above, but appreciate it if he does. My point earlier is the expectations of some fos that the capt. should do walk arounds and should always pay.

Looks like a slow day at the Wendy's drive thru!
Perhaps you should put on that really cool ASA f/o uniform and get back to the ATL airport so you can give out more $5 BJ's to your male customers in the men's room!

You really seem to have a bit of a one-track mind, sir. How about some new material? It will still be stupid-just different.

-Maybe you can try and run some people over with some large machinery when you get a citation-that would be awesome!
