Teams win!

Hmmm..... well, coach, in order for one team to win, then another team must lose . . . . so, you could also say,

"Teams Lose!"

Unless you are talking about soccer . . . but that ain't no real sport, anyhow . . . just something invented to sell minivans and silly-looking socks.

why are we so eager to trash our own pilot group? It's our typical AirTran culture.... trash each other, turn each other in, hope a fellow pilot gets canned...

we ALL make mistakes....some not as serious as others, but we all make them. Do you think the guys who were involved in these incidents set out that day to royally F-up their careers?

I disagree. The behavior you are talking about is confined to about 10% of the pilot group, and the person named at the beginning of the string is the unofficial leader of that group.

At least the AirTran threads are starting to rival the ASA threads for entertainment value.

Good luck guys. The AirTran pilots deserve better....

Nah, we still can't compare to the guy yanking it in the crew lounge, or the psycho-drunk stew.

Don't know about the "thanks to SWA", maybe, maybe not. However, the beeping noise is loud and annoying. IMHO, not too hard to overlook. I for one, would want to take a second to figure out the reason for the warning. Especially, since it will sound for a true config. warning before the engines are spooled up to takeoff thrust.

These guys didn't overlook it, they just ignored it when they couldn't figure out what it was.

30:58 - Sound of engines accelerating starts.
31:10 - Sound of maximum engine acceleration.
31:11 - Alarm begins to sound (Beep, Beep, Beep...).
31:15 - Pilot: "No, no, no, huh?"
31:12 - Pilot: "What the hell is that?"
31:16 - Cop.: "Take off thrust set, speed alive" (spoken in English)
31:20 - Pilot: "I don't know what's going on, old man, but everything is ok." (unclear).

LAPA flight 3142 if you're interested. Advances in idiocy will always outpace advances in technology.....

The only thing good about soccer is when the women are playing and there's a chance someone will take thier top off if they win. Even then it's not worth watching for 3 hours, just turn it on for the last few minutes.

Just turn it on for the last few minutes??!!!
Soccer is not basket ball;you might as well not
turn it on at all.
