Delta stuck in mud at DCA!!

[180ToTheMarker]

Not surprised at all. I know I'll get flogged for this but we do have a lot of maddog guys who are always in a hurry. Not saying that is what caused this but I have noticed more and more rushing lately. I will tactfully tell skipper "hey man, I'm not caught up, gimme a minute." Thats my way of saying slow the f@ck down!

The guy must have never flown the DC9 for Northwest. Those guys took taxing slow to a new level.

That speaks volumes...

Well, what do you have to say on the matter?

Because basically everyone I can think of who I know that has flown or currently flies the thing, says it's a huge piece of crap.

Why wouldn't you want another, say, fifty feet available in the event of a rejected takeoff?

Do the passengers weigh what the W&B says they weigh? Is there actually a bit of a tailwind at midfield between the two anemometers at the ends that say the wind is calm? etc.

I'm just trying to justify how someone thinks grabbing an extra 50 feet of runway is ridiculous, and I can't do it. Help me out here.

I heard from a friend that has a brother, who works with someone. They said that there was a a SWA pilot in the back, and they think in some way it's his fault.

Nope, he was in the jumpseat trying to show the guys a short cut.

Well, that didn't take long (only 3 posts into it) for some Southwest dickhead to make a stupid comment!
