GA moron during Allegiant emergency

[d328pilot]

wow, he's really getting on that other board. And he deserves it. Prima Donna.

what other board?

 

[RJLooser]

the other board

I read the same thing and did a search for seaplane message board, and the Seaplane Pilots Association message board came up. They were giving it to him pretty good there.
WHAT A TOOL!!!!!!In a post 9/11 world I can't understand why this idiot would argue with a controller about staying clear of airspace especially for an emergency in progress??? And not just argue, but whine like a stuck pig?? That joker threw a tantrum better than my 6 year old niece when it's time to put her toys away.......:crying:

For some reason I can't get the whole mp3. Maybe I need to upgrade to Windows 98.

At first I was wondering what everybody was giving him so much $hit about until the end of the tape. What an A$$HOLE!!!!!!

 

[temcgrew]

The lake he was over south and east of SFB is WELL inside the class D airspace. Of course he was told to stay clear of the airspace and complained about an unreasonable 5 mile vector. He is a local guy there and most likely a thorn in the side of the SFB local controllers. there is another lake north of the airport that is in the airspace also, it gets alot of amphib activity as well.
Kudos to the controller.

Is anybody else having trouble getting the whole download? Mine cuts off at "Allegiant 758, Sanford Tower..." Anybody got any ideas? I want to be offended and issue threats like everybody else!

Try right click and "Save As"

Hmmmm He was told to stay OUT of class C airspace and he entered class C anyway. Just violate him.

Anybody actually send hate mail to his email on the company website?

 

[Neubyfly]

I sent and email and so far... no response.

 

[whymeworry?]

If I were those controllers, he would never be allowed in my airspace again. See how much that will cost him.

Ever had an emergency before? There is so much CYA to do by both the controller and the pilots that its elbows-and-alligators until you're on the ground. No time to explaining yourself to some GA prick.

Yet another reason why I support user fees for GA.

Did any of you catch the part when the MD80 checked on at a 10 mile final and report 3000 lbs of fuel on board!

That's a bit lean in the event he needed to go around and try it again, don't you think?

Probably did that on purpose to reduce the severity of a fire.

I'm betting they were just right for the situation. Burned off quite a bit, but i would bet they knew they had enough to make at least one go around and try it again if they had to. I mean heck, these things will fly until it reads zero right.

That's a whole lotta fuel...if you're flying a King Air.
