Alright ok, how about this one. Taking off one night, a guy kept getting gpws pull up terrain warnings. Guy writes up GPWS for false alarms after returning to hub. MX can't find anything wrong so they pull the FDR. FDR indicates that the guy departed a mountainous airport and came within 100' of hitting a ridge because he took off and turned left instead of a required right turn. Calculated performance showed that they really shouldn't have outclimbed the ridge. Is that more believable?
 
Yeah, that's believable at any airline though,

Since the 'bus drivers all have years of RJ experience, I'm gonna call bravo sierra on your story. I don't believe any captain with 10+ years experience is going to buzz the trees for TEN MINUTES without pushing that little red button and tugging back.....or that 150 pax wouldn't have said something to the news about the "near death experience over Lake Conway/Lake Toho.

Care to cite your source?
 
Leveling off at 200'AGL, Capitan turns to FO, "Hey, that's weird." FO responds, "What's weird?"
CA:"Well, we're a little low for 2000', aren't we?"
FO:"Um... no. The big hand is... um. No, this is 2000'."
CA:"You sure? It just seems like the houses are a lot bigger. And what the heck is that noise?"
FO:"Beats me. Seems like I've heard it before, but it's been a few months since I last heard it in the sim." (FO drops the gear for no apparent reason)
CA:"Genious."
ATC:"INDY 407, say altitude."
CA:"Altitiude."

And so it went for 9 minutes at 180KTS, taking out cell towers and several rollercoasters at Disney. The Capt. got a sprained wrist from turning the heading bug to dodge the big pylons downtown. The biggest pylon was the load of turd that I heard here. Nice try, though.

What was it they always say, bad publicity is better than no publicity? Right? Someone please tell me I'm right?

"There's no such thing as bad publicity"

I think that's the generally accepted quote
 
My BS meter is simply off the scale here.
 
Just like you would never expect a pilot to leave the engine running as he heads off to the hotel.........total BS ;-)

Can I be the first to ask what the hell is that a picture of?
 
It looks like a man and his **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**(cat)!

Well it is my understanding that in some airplanes this is an approved procedure (like some turboprops with prop brakes)... Or leaving an APU running.

Or so I am told. don't shoot the messenger. :D

Hmmm...I don't believe that leaving an ENGINE running when you head off to the hotel is an approved procedure at ACA/Indy.

You might as well, give the repo man a head start.:D

How good of you to bring up something that happened 5 or 6 years ago, I believe. It's funny as hell, though.



I'm sure your airline hasn't done anything stupid before, either.

We've had plenty of guys walk away without shutting down engines here too. But I didn't bring this up. Somebody else brought up this other story about low level devil.
