Is this guy or girl for real?

[11thHour]

Maybe they were former fighter pilots.

Or how about:

Passengers have been spoiled by ultra-cheap tickets. Likewise, they've been spoiled into expecting ultra-smooth flight. A little negative g hear or there, or a yank n' bank every now and then doesn't hurt anyone, unless they are a pu$$y. Of course I jest - but I am sick of getting the third degree everytime we have to go missed approach, or divert, or god-forbid get an RA. Dear god we just averted disaster and all they can do is bitch about it.

Anyway these clowns pulled G's on us twice trying to climb and turn at the same time. I kid you not!

Followed by a downwind turn. I thought we were going to die!

:laugh:

 

[say again]

I yank and bank all the time on my MS flight sim, and not once have encountered more than 1 g. And we all know that if you can fly a MS flight sim, then flying the real thing is a breeze!!!

if you're going to hand fly a 40K jet then please do it so we don't feel every change in anything.

40K? Man, I'm gonna buy a fleet of 'em and sell 'em to Delta CHEAP!

This guy proably says in his ALPA meetings this time we are going to stand up to management. Then vote for a concessionary contract. I am glad he as a personal do not fly list, b/c with his standards he might as well stay at home. I mean he used crum bag CEO to describe a CEO of a regional. So basically he does not fly on regionals.

And He / She ummm, actually is a verified 747 Ca

Hired by UAL?

Must have been a prop guy. I notice with the CAs that I fly, the guys with prop experience tend to "yank and bank" a lot more. I say who cares, most pax, except for a few pilots that ride once in a while, don't even care what goes on as long as you make a nice landing. I got to say though, my ABSOLUTE pet-peeve when riding in the back is guys who hand fly but do it really really badly, if you're going to hand fly a 40K jet then please do it so we don't feel every change in anything.

I rode on Mesaba a few times in the "9" right when they first got them. You could definitely tell an ex Saab driver was at the controls. Im sure they have figured it out by now...

I flew as a paying passenger from CVG to STL on an ERJ. Absolutely beautiful, smooth weather to be ruined by a rough control touch. When we were at the top of descent point, several of us felt the neg G, as we came out of our seats.

I didn't feel the urge to go out and immediately post about it, but now the subject has been brought up...Maybe we need to adopt the Japanese philosophy of new FO's. They don't touch the controls for their first year, unless the CA is dead.

Personally, I think the new FO needs flying experience. Maybe CA's need to be more proactive in doing a little mentoring and teaching. I know, I've heard it before when I've talked to other CA's..."The company ain't paying me to teach!" Bla...bla...bla.

Should we adopt the Japanese inspection as well?

Yeah, and they'll sure be ready to perform after a year of looking out the window.

When we landed, we were told that there were sniper fire in the area. We were wisked from the airplane to out tank and evacuated the area.
