Legacy Bashfest - Bring it on!

[G100driver]

He want fly an aircraft than can fly above FL390 and go faster than .80 all at the same time.

My question to ERJ-140 (a.k.a. LegacyIIDriver, LegacyDriver, Legacy390, vraciu, Skull-One, BahgdadBob) if the WSCofD is such a great machine to fly, why are you trying to get on at Southwest???













Was that a pin I heard drop???

Dont worry Falcon. We are going to get some sort of diatribe about how he wanted to get on with Southwest in the past, but since the Legacy is such a great airplane he no longer wants to go there. He will even state that since the Legacy is so great he is now paying his employer to fly it.

I figure if he got on at southwest, he'd be here spouting the greatness of the BBJ and it's superiority over all aircraft, except the WSCoD of course

I can hear the sizzle from that sting all the way down here!

 

[ERJ-140]

1) I am not trying to get on at Southwest. They have never even heard from me.

2) Everyone is trying to get on at Southwest, so were I trying or going to try that doesn't mean much.

No huge revelation contained there.

I admire Southwest but would have to take a paycut to go there. I'm not prepared to do so any time soon.

Well I sure won't get those numbers out of a G100. You're lucky those APUs you have for engines even start!

 

[ERJ-140]

Meanwhile, FC still hasn't backed up his smack talk. Nowhere has he shown evidence of his claim that Embraer's website contradicts my claims....

3250 NM + NBAA IFR Reserve FL390.

Still waiting little boy...

 

[ERJ-140]

With 8 pax....

Still waiting.

Is that the sound of a pin drop?

 

[ERJ-140]

And for what it is worth I have over 1500 hours in the WSCoD. You might say hey you only flew the EMB-145. Same difference. Every Embraer product is a POS in my opinion. This is coming from a guy that has flown both the EMB-120, EMB-135 and EMB-145. They all suck!!

You are welcome to your opinion. As stated, you only flew the 145. I don't see you as an expert on the Legacy with -those- credentials.

Having seen the 170 now...wow. The 120 isn't even close to the 145. The Legacy is better still and the 170 is light years ahead of either. Embraer is a good learner.

You can't live in a jungle where ants can devour a family of four in thirty seconds and be weak for cryin' out loud. They know how to make a tough product.

BS,

Most of the components on the Embraer are substandard because when the EMB-145 was being built no one wanted or was too scared to do business with them. Hence they got components that are substandard. These are the same components that are on the EMB-135, EMB-140, Legacy and every other WSCoD out there.

For what it is worth I have heard they are calling the EMB-170 the "EMB-180" becuase it is always making a 180 and going back to the gate for MX.

So Bob, I'm glad to see you made it into TEB this morning. You do a lot of those redeyes?

Why do you have B-737 time? Are you typed?

Probably because after he was "Wrongfully Terminated" he went out and bought his 737 Type with hopes that SWA would call... And then he shoulda woke up...

So you mean to tell me that you aren't trying to go from your EMBraer TWO Southwest (LUV)???

 

[ERJ-140]

Typed by my employer. They type everyone. I barely ever fly it.

(Not in TEB btw, so not sure on that reference.)

That address isn't mine. I borrowed it from a friend who avoids this place like the plague.

You're not too smart are you, FC? Glad you're not a cop or there would be a lot of innocent folks getting arrested. Hope you're a good pilot cuz you suck at being a detective.

What "address" are you talking about??? Who mentioned an address???

Oh, your "borrowing" e-mail addresses from friends because they are SOOOO expensive to by on your own??? I assume you are of course "borrowing" his IP Address as well... It is amazing how "Your Friend" is also friends with LegacyIIDriver, LegacyDriver, vracui, Legacy390 and Skull-One, and your "friend" lets all those "folks" "borrow" his IP Address as well... Wouldn't it be nice if everytone had friends like that?!?!?!

Just like you're typed in the DA50, so tell me what is Vmo on the 73', what about ZFW on the 50? You've been asked these basic questions before and still haven't answered them

(Not in TEB btw, so not sure on that reference.)

Unlike Falcon, I don't have access to ISP numbers, but you're "friend's" address is in TEB?

No, I just find it curious that of the 18 registered WSCoD, 2 were in Vegas last night. One was a Flight Options bird, the other captained by "a dead ringer for Gordon Liddy". Would someone that looks like Gordon Liddy, have used a screen name Skull-One?

I do know this however, ERJ-140's last post last night was at 0415z (2115L), a WSCoD departed LAS at 0430z (2130L) for TEB, about a 5 hour flight. At 1045z (6 1/2 later) ERJ-140 made one last post, and then didn't post anything for about 10 hours zzzz.

Quite a coincidence, though I didn't see any 737's registered in Connecticut.

First you state that you were typed by your employer in reference to the B-737. Then you state that you are here under a "friends: screen name.

Something doesn't add up dude. If you had flown a real airplane such as a B-737 versus a plastic toy like the Legacy then you would understand what a POS the WSCoD is.

I think you are being caught in a lie.

That same WSCoD is has just departed TEB for PHX, anybody want to bet we don't hear anything from our friend ERJ-140 for the next 5 or so hours?

You never know. The WSCoD that just left TEB could be flown by this guy's "friend"

I am at TEB today. Do you know what FBO it went out of?

800th post

800 complete wastes of time. Though it has been enjoyable.

Looks like ERJ-140 is cruising along over Indianapolis right now. I'm surprised he's doing 428kts over the ground, I didn't think WSCoD were that fast, must be at least .75M , though he's at FL380. I guess he's doesn't have the FL410 chip .

If you want to waste more time go to http://www.flytecomm.com/cgi-bin/trackflight or any other flight tracker and enter PHX as arrival airport and TEB as departure.

Let's cheer our boy on as he races across the US in his chariot! Kind of makes me want to go out there and buy him a beer as he crosses the finish line, for entertaining us all these months in a way that would make Baghdad Bob proud.

 

[jknight8907]

He's halfway across with 2.5 hrs left...but think on the bright side, if you read the groundspeed in MPH it looks a LOT faster...

SwiftAir Flight 730, looks like it's last flight was KLAS-KTEB and now it is going KTEB-KPHX... This co-incides with our little posting buddy...

FL380... Geez, I thought he said the WSCofD was a Stellar Performer! What's he doing so low??? Looks like he is flying about Mach 0.76 at FL380 according to the flight plan I ran using current winds and looking at the location he is at and comparing groundspeeds (Mach 0.80 at his current location using current temp/altitude/winds should yield a Groundspeed of 452 kts today, his current 428 kts ground speed equates to Mach 0.76 TAS under the current conditions)... Mach 0.76 at FL380 sounds about EXACTLY like what the Manufacture claims... So much for his FL400 doing Mach 0.80... NOT EVEN CLOSE! And with only 2 hours left in the flight he should be plenty light if the WSCofD really was capable of FL400 and Mach 0.80 (which we can easily see it is not)

At least last night on my short trip home from the East coast I was at FL430!!!

I KNEW he worked for Swift, they are about the only one's flying and trying to sell the WSCofD!!!

I wonder if he has to rock back and forth in his seat saying "I THINK I can, I THINK I can" to get the WSCofD above FL350???

Actually I've heard it works better to run up and down the cabin flapping your arms and making 'vroom' noises...

OH, I thought he did THAT during take-off as he is sucking up nearly 6,000 ft of runway!!!

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin', Keep that WSC Rollin'!

 

[jknight8907]

No, he has the be up front so he can pedal it down the runway...

 

[banned username 2]

Ut Oh, it looks like WSCofDdriver has slowed the "Mighty Whistler", back to Mach 0.74 (at FL380), perhaps to make it without a fuel stop??? His ground speed is back to 411 kts, (Mach 0.80 would be about 447 kts ground speed at his current location considering winds & temp)...

 

[G100driver]

Well I sure won't get those numbers out of a G100. You're lucky those APUs you have for engines even start!

Hey, $hit can man, the G100 will ALWAYS do 410 and M80. Now obvioulsy it does not have the cabin of a WSCofD, but it never pretended to be a world class airplane. In reality, it is a piece of garbage. Best thing that happened to us was that airplane kept on stranding us. Forced the boss to get off the pot and purchase a new airplane. Also not much more $$ than a WSCofD, but the airplane is M.84 at FL430 every day cross country. The airplane also holds value as well. We are constantly receiving calls to purchase above the cost of our aquistion price.

Good luck at SWA (if you get hired). Rumor has it they are good place to work

 

[O-Line]

Any way....... The airplane will do .74M range numbers at .796M. Do it all the time, personally. If you look at it, even the PUBLISHED numbers between .80 range and .74 are a wopping 100-150NM. That's just not that much. Going back and forth across the CONUS we are always doing .795M so quit acting like everyone is running around at 0.74M.

45 minutes left, still at FL380, 394kts across the ground with the winds today I'd say he's doing .74M.

 

[FracCapt]

Besides, why should I give you information on who was there? If you want it that badly (dunno why you care), you PM me who *you* are and work for and we'll talk about determining who was where.

Because I think you're full of sh!t.

If you work for the same company as either airplane (you should know right?) Then I will divulge info.
Not before.

I'm a Captain at Flight Options. Have been for many years. I probably only know half of the Legacy Captains, but I can verify the other names via our seniority list....or, I could just lookup their email address via my company Blackberry.
