Guess you gotta makes ends meet somehow at comair.

 

[SennaP1]

Well it says .... <Name>.... is an employee of Comair, a Delta Connection Carrier and wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines.

My guess, Comair.

Did you read the article?

 

[Carl_Spackler]

Will people ever learn to not consent to a search request...especially if you have something to hide?

 

[P38JLightning]

Even if you don't have anything to hide. Countless lives were bravely laid down to enshrine our inalienable rights and a right waived is a right lost.

 

[mxer]

The article only said "employee" not "pilot". For what its worth.

 

[Alert height]

If he didn't ask for a wind check, then he's probably not a Delta pilot.

Ok titans10, are you illiterate or just retarded. The very article you quote claims that it's a Comair pilot so why are you asking? I think you are a troll with nothing better to do....

Read it again.

 

[mxer]

Read it again.

Your right. Article said employee, pilot was in the heading. Didnt notice it.

 

[say again]

Your right. Article said employee, pilot was in the heading. Didnt notice it.

Says he's a pilot in the article too.

 

[Dutch]

They've changed the article multiple times since it was originally posted. I'm willing to bet that one of the earlier versions didn't include the name Comair.

I don't get it??? Fill me in on your stupidity!

 

[Metro752]

I don't get it??? Fill me in on your stupidity!

Cranky old Delta pilots are known for asking for wind checks on just about every landing?

 

[Ty Webb]

I don't get it??? Fill me in on your stupidity!

Actually, if you don't get he reference, it is you who is stupid. . . . or you've never operated into ATL . . . or DFW . . . or LGA . . . or BOS . . . or . . nevermind.

Stupid shouldn't call the stupid "stupid", Stupid.

Actually, this is reassuring. I would rather have my family on that flight!

CYA

 

[titans10]

Did you read the article?

Yes I did. In the first article it never mention comair. Thanks for the response though. Of course on the news it never mention comair at all also. Maybe they looked at this guys crew tag on his luggage when they were searching for his stash.

 

[xjhawk]

He is no longer at Comair. He was one of the few who was interviewed and hired at Delta. lol

ugh that sucks. So close haha

What exactly is the "wind check" telling you that reassures you? It isn't what the wind is going to be when and where you touch down. I prefer to use things like flags, wind socks, water, trees, and which way I have to point the nose to give me an idea of the wind.....

By the way, how do you land at airports after the tower closes or at uncontrolled airports...No wind check then....

 

[JoeMerchant]

By the way, regarding the original article...Who cares if he grew some weed...I don't smoke the stuff, but it's time to just legalize it. Hell it's easier to be in this country illegally these days then it is to grow some weed. Priorities in this country are all screwed up.....

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Consented to let them search? Uh, no thanks - I'll pass.

Fly into Denver sometimes. Then you will see why I am glad the Delta pilots are asking.

If you are looking for stupidity-just scrounge up a mirror. Put it to use, and you will have all the stupidity you can handle.

 

[say again]

They say it so no one else has to. :laugh:

 

[at7driver]

DL 12 heavy wind check..... uh ya delta winds still calm... GL.

 

[clippyrip]

I second that! What an A-hole. My answer would be NO. Unless you have a warrant, no.

If they ask, it means they are legally not allowed to search. If they had a warrant, they wouldn't ask.

Interesting thought. The philosophy of flying an aircraft. Asking for a wind check when it is fairly calm vs a wind check on a blustering day. Of course it is prudent to ask for a wind check on the blustering day, but the guy asking for a wind check on every landing (including the ones where the wind is fairly calm).

My question is...Does this person truely have the big picture in mind. Can they estimate what the airplane is going to do in the next 10 seconds, 20 seconds,....30 seconds? Maybe?

We just don't know. So the discussion continues.

As to your aurgument of putting your family on board this particular aircraft, which you are really trying to aurgue that this person that asks for wind checks seems to be a better pilot. Simply asking for a wind check.

I would have to counter that aurgument and say I would think the better pilot could use other refrences to estimate the wind, be confident in the abilities of themselves and the aircraft, and of course the knowledge that asking for a wind check on a 5 mile final only gives a snapshot of one particular area and a point of time.

I could write a thesis on the philosophies of flight/airmanship.
