How To Pre-flight A Flops B.j.

[skyismyoffice]

Its a mylar covered heat shield in each wheel well. Keeps heat from the hydraulics away from the wall of the wheel well (fuel tank on the other side).

 

[Mr. Magoo]

Wheel Wells?!?!?!? How do you check that? The fatties I used to fly with wouldn't fit under the wheel wells.

you are a management clown

"Brother", I wasn't suggesting that at all, because that's...well, sh!tbag low like you said. But everyone knows that this happens. An airplane will fly good until a pro-union, anti-management crew gets to it and all of the sudden, things are broken that weren't before. You'll probably say "the previous crew missed these *unsafe* things, therefore we are the superior ones", but come on, it's all subjective. Noboby knows exactly what happens to an aircraft except for those who are with the airplane (e.g. crew, MX, pax, etc...). Yes, a pilot and mechanic should operate IAW the FARs, but they are, like all laws, subject to interpretation, and if one is union-biased, well then those are some strict, the-airplane-has-to-be-like-bran-new-before-I-fly-it laws!
I know I'll be hated for this post but aren't we all haters deep inside??

That's a great idea about the pen thing. I will place it next to my kit of burned out light bulbs, and pocket knife that I use to cut the tire down to the chord. I was offended by you even insinuating that any of our pilots would do this. But I can tell you are deeply offended that the majority of our pilots refuse to fly with open discrepancies that management would intimidate us to do like days of old. Go back and crawl under your desk management troll. No need to accelerate our company ending up a smoking hole in the ground, you and our senior leaders are doing a fine job all by yourselves. Good day

War? That's a little strong of a word for the situation, don'tcha think? It's more like a 'labor debate' or a 'contract negotiation'. You guys need to cool yer jets (pun intended) and let this thing get worked out without silly threats and operation slow downs. If you are touting professionalism, act like it.

 

[Hobbes]

Oh they can COOL the jets alright...just never even start the damn things.

 

[brokeflyer]

you are touting professionalism, act like it.

you have to pay for that. it aint free.

 

[skanza]

What do you mean *I* have to pay for it? That doesn't make any sense...

 

[skanza]

Again, stalling the operation (where the money comes from) is no way (at least no professional way) to prove a point about you labor woes.
But go ahead, keep grounding green airplanes, no one's watching....
