Diverted plane blamed on AA FA

[dispatchguy]

If I may interject into the urination match, what was the DXR's reasoning for wanting to go to a different airport?

As a dispatcher, youre there to assist once the E word is declared, PERIOD. Short of a level 6 TS parked directly over the divert field, whereever he (CAP) wants to go, is where he's a gonna go, period!

How hard is that to remember from DX school?

Some of you guys amaze me with your company elitism. I've been with AA for 14 years. Done several "crash dives", all for medical. As pointed out, it just isn't too tough. Throttles idle, speedbrake open, get to red line and stay there until time to land.

I've also regularly had Capt's tell dispatch to blow during a divert, when they didn't have the big picture. If the Capt. doesn't like the alternate, it's changed. Getting extra fuel is as tough as calling for it, informing loads and dispatch, and getting the fuel truck to the plane.

BigMotor, with your "BigRatings" list, you have serious issues. Sorry you hate life so much. Lighten up.

Might have had something to do with AF1 being IVO the primary.

HAHAHA

I'm getting confused. Which pilots are doing all this leasing, what are they leasing, and who are these leasing it to?

Better still, what does all this leasing have to do with decision-making, leadership, and flying airplanes?



OK, now I'm even more confused. When did we start valuing Captains in terms of strips? What kind of strips? No Pest Strips? Power Strips? Strips of Paper? Slow, sensual strips?



Who would have ever thought a fake bomb threat could cause SO much confusion!?!?!?

TonyC you are a funny man!!!!!!!

 

[xanderman]

No biggie

Flx757,
TonyC was just joking around. I don't believe and I certainly am not reading any personal attacks in his post. I though these misspellings were funny too. Nothing personal. Just funnny.

P.S. glad you are doing well. I can imagine it's no small feat to overcome all you have. Way to go. Maybe guys like you can motivate me to get off my lazy butt...

Hey Tony C,

I'm not sure what your motive is ... Maybe it's a feeble attempt at humor.

That's it. Perhaps I should use more to make that clear.

Sorry to cause you so much heartburn.

"I have the airplane..."

What airplane?

Umm, that would be the airplane that has just been cleared for takeoff, immediately following transfer of aircraft control.

I think TonyC's grammar/spelling patrols are completely justifiable. Yoo cud be Albert Einstein, but if yoo cant spel or puncktuwate, allot of folks on this bord will probbably reed you're post's with a grayne of salt.
Take a minit and prufreed you're post's...it lends some credibility to your thoughts.
And if all else fails, at least use some smilies...
BTW...sorry for the "seguay"

I recall seeing that TFR now - tough call -
