Delta pilot arrested.

[ultrarunner]

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

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!

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.

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.

DAL tool translation:

"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.

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!

The field's uncontrolled, leave the guy alone.. btw nice looking DC 3, anybody remember when PBA was flying those..

At least I possess a mind. And it's only directed at the little pervert troll who spends his day jacking off to every single Delta thread! Perhaps if you spent less time on your knees in the men's room in the airport and more on your feet you'd realize that!

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

I realize the only large machinery you operate is battery powered, so when you get up north next time, let me know. I'll make sure and gas up the plane!

This is all par for the course for Delta pilots. I wish the FAA would keep a close eye on them. I don't want to paint with a broad brush, but I think we can all agree that Delta pilots act the way they are compensated. Very poorly.

Must be time for the General's nap. You get time to come on FI and pee all over yourself.

So is it safe to say you act in a very "suck off" fashion?
Jeez, at least when you sing in as crj567 it's a little more entertaining.
Slow day at the ATL airport?:laugh:

I don't think any FO really EXPECTS the Captain to do it, but they do take notice if the Captain states "I have done them for years, and I won't do another one." If we encounter that type of attitude, there may not be any free beers given later that night, since the FO is tired. It is all about the initial attitude. I don't know about you, but I enjoy my trips and hope to have a good time on all of them, and I very rarely run into attitudes like that. Walk arounds are good for everyone, especially before the slides at recurrent. Again, no one expects it, but is pleasantly surprised if it happens. On a 3 man crew to Europe or SA though, the 3rd guy (FO) always does it anyway. As far as paying for meals, most INTL Captains I fly with buy a beer for me and the other FO, and that is about it. (no meals, unless he/she is on a greenslip)

At TWA the Captains almost always did the walk around when it was the F/O's leg. As an F/O you were trained to Captain standards right from the beggining, so if it was your leg, you set up the cockpit, did all the tests, FMS, etc... When it was time to upgrade all you needed was some extra IOE and that was about it.

This Captain only BS for walkarounds and FMS setup etc... is really rediculus. If both pilots are trained to know and do everything, then you can really rely on each other with very little doubt when the exciting stuff happens, not to mentioned making upgrading that much easier.

One caveot- I do think that the onus should be on the F/O when the Captain is busy with mechanicals, or any of that extra BS that comes up right before departure. A good F/O should see that the Captain is busy and without asking, just do the walkaround even if it is the F/O's leg.

ACL, it's attitudes like this that have prevented you from obtaining employment at a major airline.

Crj567/tanker clown:
It's statements like the above that have prevented you from giving out BJ's from anyone higher than 0-3!
Now, run along, I'm sure the captain is waiting for his.

Um yeah sure Tanker, another weak comeback.
