Legacy Bashfest - Bring it on!

[Dangerkitty]

Okay so maybe the dim bulb comment was a bit over the top and I retract the jibe. However, calling an airplane with an effectively perfect safety record a "lawn dart" has to be one of the dumbest things anyone can say. If it doesn't strain -your- credibility and objectivity then one has to question your intellect.

Yes, the airplane has weaknesses (all documented here - though some -clearly- exaggerated). Every airplane does. Overall, however, it's a good value.

As for the weather radar... I don't think you have a clue how to use it. I dodged thunderstorms in ERJs for four years without a problem. The number one thing I noticed about pilots was a lack of understanding how to properly use it. If you missed a Level 4 I would say your radar was inop. Would it be helpful to improve it some? Sure. But it's more than adequate if you know how to use it properly.

Again, try to take this in good cheer. It is not worth getting hostile!

I have been through numerous radar courses. Many at COEX, Bombardier, FlightSafety and by far the best radar course of my life at American Airlines.
To say I don't have a clue how to use radar is an insult and a cop out. You don't know me and you have never flown with me. Who are you to tell me what knowledge I have of radar.

The radar has been and continues to be an Achilles heel of the EMB RJ's. It is not EMB's fault near as much as Honeywell's but it is still a major problem with the aircraft. I know pilots that refuse to fly this aircraft with any sort of convective activity becuase the radar is very very limited. When I left COEX, Honeywell and Embraer were actively trying to get the Radar situation fixed. They both admitted it had/has major defiecinces. Instead of addressing the situation you just tell me I have no clue how to operate the radar.

Junior, I was operating the radar on the EMB-145 and EMB-135 from the left seat while you were sweating out your instrument ticket. Don't tell me what I do and do not know.

Furthermore, you have been asked numerous times very simple questions about the B-737 and Falcon 50. I suggest you answer them or admit you are a hard up Embraer Salesman who needs the commission to feed his family.

Answer the questions that have been asked you sir.

PM me your FLIGHT OPTIONS-domained email address and I'll send you the information I have.

Not gonna happen. You're just some schmuck on the internet that uses multiple screen names. Giving you my Options email address would immediately give away my identity. Many people here know who I am, but I don't make it public. Have fun with this charade.

 

[Dangerkitty]

There. Hope I waited the appropriate amount of time. They should have pulled into the ramp about now.

Also, again, Swift isn't selling Legacy jets, I am not employed there (please, in all seriousness, for the sake of the innocent folks who actually -do- work there, don't try to claim I am a Swift guy - I really am not), and I do not *yet* have a type in the Falcon (I will do that in November).

You guys are so funny tracking that plane! I was LMAO!!!

BS. You got on the ground and immediately came in the check the drivel that you had written.

And if you were watching this post you would have been identified as being online. If you don't understand the concept of IP addresses I am sure you are too stupid to know how to log out. While studying for a new type and PM'ing Falcon Captain I monitored this thread. You were never on-line while the plane was in flight.

Oh yeah, and please again answer some questions about the B-737 and Falcon 50 that have been asked of you many times. You are starting to cop out on the Falcon. So now its been established that you aren't typed in the Falcon built will be in November. Is that what you are going to state about the B-737 as well?

Plus, where are you going to Falcon 50 Training. Lets see if you can get that question right.

 

[G100driver]

I would never get hired there (doubt I will ever even try) but thanks for the sentiment. They are certainly setting the world on fire. Their success is mind blowing to say the least.

You might get hired there. Afterall, last time I was in Burbank they were boarding by an airstair instead of a jetway.

But what is your TAS and fuel burn at .84 and 430? When I flew the ERJ we were much faster in the mid-20s to lower-30s than we were up higher and the fuel burn wasn't much worse. I think people should start comparing TAS and not indicated Mach #s around here. Some airplanes have Mach #s that don't mean squat unless you look it up in the tables and convert it or reference it to TAS. Then you say, "Oh, I'm not going as fast as I thought."

Then why didn't you just do the TEB-PHX run at FL280, if you wanted to go fast? Face it while everyone else does NYC-PHX at FL430-FL470 and .82M or better, you're stuck going around buildups, and through the buildups that your radar apparently doesn't see at .74M.

BTW, looks like you did a MX flight this morning, I thought WSCoD don't break?

Yes, we know you work for the TGIF Franchisee in Connecticut, which leases back it's WSCoD to Swift.

Manufacturer claims (at FL390 though capable of FL410) 3100NM with 8 Pax and NBAA Reserves at Mach 0.80, FAR more than enough to go KTEB-KPHX.

I just realized why you were flying at .74M on that flight. It was raining in TEB when you departed. Considering the WSCoD's airliner-like wet runway performance you weren't able to take a full bag of fuel .

 

[Dangerkitty]

Where are you ERJ-140? Cat got your tongue?

Oh and by the way please answer those questions in regards to the B-737 and Falcon 50 that were asked of you. This is only the 10th-15th time you have been asked a question that you have not responded to.

Answer it now please.

 

[Dangerkitty]

Hey don't ask me I wasn't flying it and dunno what turb speed is for Legacy.

You sit here and spew all this knowledge and wisdom about the Legacy but you dont know what the Turbulent Penetration Speed is for the Legacy?
Let me be the 100th person to tell you this dude but you are a complete moron.

(FC wasn't referring to my IP addy but to the email addy I registered with. Belongs to one of my girlfriends who now flies for SWA. I didn't feel like going to msn or whatever to get one. I am not in TEB and haven't been for quite some time.)

NO NO NO! Re-read the post there LegacyDriver. Falcon Captain specifically mentions your IP address, not you e-mail address which means nothing.

Who do you think you are trying to kid anyway? You have been shown time and time again of how much of a fraud, moron, salesman, and idiot you are.
Why you come back here is beyond me.

But one more time I would like to ask you to please answer those qusstions you have been asked about the B-737 and Falcon 50. I am sure you are calling all you other CFI buddies to try to find some answers.

Can't wait for your response!

Oh and by the way, you saying "addy" makes you sound even more like a pansey.

Hey don't ask me I wasn't flying it and dunno what turb speed is for Legacy...

Wait a minute here... You fly the WSCofD yet you "don't (dunno) what turb speed is for Legacy?" (Beat me to it DangerKitty )

Maybe that explains the lack of answers on the B737 and Falcon 50.

Man, did you go to the Bill Clinton school of "truth", so you were the PNF? Let me rephrase the question, where you onboard?

Looks like it's time for another identity change. I wonder who the next "Skull-One" will be?

 

[Dangerkitty]

(Beat me to it DangerKitty )

Only a minute in front of you! That was close!

 

[ERJ-140]

I don't fly the Legacy. I told you that already.

You guys start answering -my- questions and I will answer yours. You don't get to dodge my queries and demand I answer yours.

Kitty, you don't know squat about emb radars if you can't see a Level 4. I would keep that info to myself if I were you!

I don't fly the Legacy at all ever. Never have never claimed to and I'm not who you think I am (but it sure is funny to watch you try!).

 

[ERJ-140]

Oh and this isn't eaglelounge. You don't have to be logged in to browse the forum. Duh.

Oh well, look whos back?

I will start and end my rebuttal with this.

You have been asked time and time again to answer very very minor questions about the B-737 and the Falcon 50.

Please answer them now or do not post anything else about the Legacy.

It is becoming increasing clear that you are not a pilot at all but a mere internet troll.

Your answers please.

I don't fly the Legacy.....

drrr, yeah....... okay
